    Default RIP Watchman Goby

    Got a diamond watchman goby, he seemed to be doin fine. Diggin little burrows and crap, filtering the gravel. Approximately 1.5 days after purchase, I find him dried up next to the tank.
    Guy at LFS said they jump sometimes, but I didnt expect it to happen like the next day. Anyone got any suggestions besides covering the top of my tank?

    I've never tried it, but maybe try one of those screen covers for lizard/snake tanks. The problem might be that you'd have to clean the salt creep off of it quite often.
