Hello folks.
I have a 15 gallon reef tank with one chromis, green implosion coral and a new watchman goby. All look fine but the goby is not sifting sand at all. He is only a week in my tank and eats fine if the food floats down to him. Are some gobies known to not like sand?
Sadly Jamie, he eats like a pig. He's much better than when I had a pistol shrimp with him though. Those two drove me nuts with there constant sand moving. Now he just sifts the sand near his burrow entrance. Though Grumpy will always be my favorite and oldest fish, so Grumpy can do whatever Grumpy wants.
My watchman goby only sifts sand to cleanse his palate while he waits for the manna from heaven to rain down on him,or pellets,whichever come first.then back to looking miserable all day,hence the name Neuman
