diamond goby

Hello, I have a question about whether I should add all the fish at once or one by one. My new tank will soon be ready for new fish. It is a 20-gallon tank. I plan to have a pair of clownfish, a valentini puffer, a falco hawkfish, and a diamond goby. My friend advised that I should add the fish...

I had this Diamond Goby for a few months now, he loves to hide shells and make holes everywhere. This evening I saw that my kenya tree coral was missing from it’s usual spot. I looked around and saw that the Goby moved the whole coral into it’s hole. It literally moved the whole rock it was...

1 diamond goby (stays low in my tank) and 2 purple pincushion urchins, free to good home -- Pasadena 91105 almost Free ($1) to a good home. The diamond goby is a good citizen and stays close to the bottom without creating sand storm. His burrow though is getting larger and he's burying the...

About 3 days ago I added a diamond goby to my tank. I don’t have much experience with them myself but from what I can gather it seems like it’s not unusual to not see them for a while after they are added to a tank. My question is at what point should I be concerned? I think I know what rock...

Our diamond goby has been acting weird the past couple of days. We have had him for about 8 months and he has grown a ton but seems to be short of breath and less active in the last couple of days. Last night he seemed 'frozen' at a part of the tank he is not usually in, mouth wide open, not...

I just found my diamond goby sideways and thought it was dead. Come to find it breathing when I hold it upright. I have it in a small container to isolate and I put a small amount of food in the water. I recently put new fish and coral into HIS home. Could this be stress??? Anyway to fix? Help!!!

So I am experiencing a bit of a dino problem on my sand bed. I have experienced dinos before but this time they are not nearly as bad as they were, previously they took over all the rocks, sand and basically the whole tank. Now they are back but only in patches on the sand bed. I have had...

Hello! We are have had our tank for a little over 8 months and have recently introduced a Midas blenny. He has started to lay on the sand right next to our diamond goby. Curious if anyone has seen this happen?

Hi, new here. I always look at posts but this is 1st time posting. We added a Diamond goby to our tank a few days ago (today is day 4 since we picked him up) He's great at his job BUUUUTTTTT the tank is soooooo cloudy now. Is there anything I can do? Do I need a water change or need to wait for...

Hi. I have a question about Diamond Goby, I’m new on reef tank, 1 year now :) a lot of things to learn. Almost 2 months ago I bought a diamond Goby mated pair from live aquaria. I have observed the behavior of the two, sometimes the bigger chases the smaller one, sometimes they stay close...

Hello, I have a diamond goby and he doing really well sifting through all the sand and keeping it nice and clean. However when he sifts he kicks loads of small sand particles into the water column due to the high flow. When the particles are floating around in the water column it doesn’t seem to...

Hello everyone! I just started a semi-new reef tank (fully cycled, brimming with pods, low nutrient, etc.) in a 35 gallon peninsula. I adore the diamond goby, and hate having to suck up pellets on a nearly bi-daily basis. I would want to add more invertebrates but I'm keeping a flame hawk in...

So I had my diamond goby going through a 2 week copper treatment and then a 4 week observation/ internal parasite removal period (General Cure + Focus) and she’s currently on her last week before she goes back into the display. This is my first QT’d fish (it went surprisingly well) and I am...

I have been missing my 4 inch diamond goby for a couple days. Looked everywhere. I even had my bengal cat on trial for the goby’s murder...there wasn’t enough evidence to convict. My levels started to rise so I searched everywhere. I finally found his bones after taking part the flow valve in my...

Been missing my Diamond Goby and Scooter Blenny for about a week now. Tank parameters have been good minus an alkaline spike to about 14 for 2 or three days, which only seemed to affect two plate coral and possibly a blood shrimp. I keep a top on my tank at all times unless I’m feeding them...

Doing some feeding for the tank, thought I'd throw some music in. Enjoy! Music: breathe slow Musician: Rook1e

I have a question for the Reefing community, my boyfriend and I have had a reef tank a little over a year almost two now and within the past 6-7 months have added a lot of NPS, mainly gorgonian/sea fans to our 125 gallon reef tank. Ever since we've been trying to add a dependable clean up crew...

Hello. I am currently in the process of setting up a Red Sea Max S 650 to upgrade from my 75g. I want to use the Hawaiian black sand because I like the way it looks in my 20g. My question is: Do certain type of fish have a problem with the black sand? Current livestock that will be transferred...

Added a bonded pair of diamond watchman gobies at the end of July. I’m 99% sure they now have eggs in their den. One is buried in the den and from under the tank I can see what I believe to be the eggs by the male who is guarding the eggs. All entrances to the den are blocked. what can I do in...

Hello guys, I have a clownfish and diamond goby in a 20g QT tank. 2 days since purchased. They’ve been getting light feeding and seem okay. The goby is shy and stays hidden behind PVC. The clown has some tissue degradation. Looks like skin peeling, on his tail, and fins. I’ve started dosing...

I am having an issue with some of my Zoa frags being flat out devoured by something in my tanI while others go unmolested. The dastardly deed happens over the course of a 24 hour period and the only critter I ever see near them is a typical small CUC hermit or snail. Could my PB tang or...

I'm trying to finish the planning on my new tank upgrade. I'd like to have some sand dwelling wrasse as well as a diamond goby to sift sand and keep it clean. I'm also planning on having a fair amount of water movement generated by powerheads in the tank for my mixed reef so don't want to...
