I’ve have my sand sifting goby for over 2 years now, never had an issue.
The last 2 weeks he’s been staying in his cave now because he’s being bullied by most of my fish.
But he never used to let them get to him..
suddenly now he tries coming slightly out of the cave, and the second any of the others are a little mean he goes right back in..
Don’t know how long he can last without doing his regular thing
Anything I should try?
I try feeding him directly every couple days, and he snatches it. But not sure if that’s hurting the problem, because there’s less inventive for him to brave the outside world
Or if he’s just getting old now..
See how brown the sand is?
It’s normally pristine!
Now just that first couple inches is clean, and the rest all dirty
