yellow watchman goby

I have a 26G Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula. I’ve had two clowns in there for a month and the tank was up for 3 weeks before they were added. Will the following fish be a good fit together in the tank, with the clowns: Yellow Watchman Goby Molly Miller Blenny Possum Wrasse I’d like to get the...

New to saltwater and trying not to harm anyone... So I added a YWG and tiger pistol shrimp to my 44 gal tank two days ago. I drip acclimated and turned off tank lights prior to adding. After putting them in the tank, the shrimp immediately hid and the goby laid on the sand in the front corner...

I added a yellow watchman goby to our tank last week and my tailspot blenny immediately started attacking. I put the ywg in an acclimation box for six days and let him out yesterday. The attacking is slightly less persistent but still occurring regularly. I have to sit next to the tank and waive...

My husband and I have been together for 2.5 years & I have lived together for 2 years. He has had his 30 gallon tank with live rock for a little over 3 years & his first fish was a Watchman Goby. A couple months went by & he couldn’t find the fish. He knew they liked to hide, so he waited. and...

For about two months my yellow watchman goby and my jawfish (who's since passed due to complications involving a bloated stomach) paired up in the same little den. My yellow watchman was never really able to bond with my pistol shrimp while it was around and I'm so happy that both of them were...

I have a yellow watchman goby that is paired with a tiger pistol shrimp. It’s rare to see the pistol shrimp but the goby is outside the cave all the time. Today I saw the goby zip out and pickup a blue legged hermit crab ( tiny one) in its mouth and went into the cave. The goby came right back...

I got my baby yellow watchman goby a few weeks ago, she immediately paired up with my candy cane pistol shrimp and sleeps in the burrow at night.. but during the early day before the lights come on shes normally swimming around. is she just exploring while my other fish are asleep or maybe...

Hello, I’m new to the salt water side of fish keeping. I currently have a 75 gallon tank with a sail fin tang, yellow watchman gobby, royal gramma, lawnmower blenny, 2 cardinal banggai, 3 common clown fish, fire gobby, red scooter dragonet, and a skunk cleaner shrimp. I tried to research a...

I have a tiger pistol shrimp that lost the yellow watchman when I brought them home several months ago. I am wanting to get a new goby for my shrimp. My shrimp is fully grown or very close to being fully grown. What other goby's can I put with the shrimp and what size does it need to be? MY LFS...

Hey all! I added a YWG to my tank Friday morning. The fish was purchased directly from Dr Reef’s Quarantined Fish. When I turn the lights on, the fish spends hours chasing its reflection in the glass, and will occasionally perch himself on the overflow guard. It spends a fair amount of time...

Just made a big mistake hopefully this serves as a caution for others keeping sexy shrimps with Yellow Watchman Goby. I have had an existing colony of six sexy shrimps with my Yellow Watchman Goby & Pistol Shrimp pair. I decided to add 5 more sexy shrimps hence after acclimating I was adding...

I bought a YWG because of how amazing he looks on this photo on LiveAquaria (see attached on the left)... and after researching the heck out of them too. Apparently I didn't research enough: when I got mine, it noticed it didn't look much like the one on the left. His color is not a bright...

I have an exploration of amphipods that are eating my zoas. Yes I’m sure the pods are the problem. Will a yellow corris hunt pods and keep the population down? I know they sleep at night but if it kills the ones it find during the day it should help keep the population in check. I have...

not the best picture, i know.. but our yellow watchman gobies have quite a large group of eggs.. they are constantly swimming around it and swishing it around. the cluster is around an inch wide and in a ‘safe’ spot in their burrow.. is there anything we can do to help this process or do the...

Hey guys, So I’ve been checking out various fish I can add to my 55 gallon reef to round things off. One of the fish I’ve been looking at is the flame hawkfish and I saw that Matthew recommended this fish in a stock list similar to mine for a 40 gallon reef on the BRS channel. I would really...

Where would you all recommend to order a yellow watchman goby? It's been a few years since I have ordered fish online, so I am looking for recommendations. I was looking on Live Aquaria and they have two different listings. One is for ORA Captive Bread Yellow Watchman Goby and one just titled...

Bought a yellow watchman goby a day ago, today it swam around the tank unlike the behaviour that i have read that it likes to stay in a cave/burrow, currently night time here, in goby is currently the surface of the water near the water intake into the "sump" of the tank (aio) , should i be...

I’ve got a 16 gallon biocube with only a four stripe damsel in it. He’s old so eventually he’ll pass on me. When he does can I get by with a shrimp and goby pair in a tank this small? Any suggestions on the goby? I’m going with a candy cane pistol since the LFS only gets MASSIVE tigers when they...

I have a 1.5 year old 16 gallon mixed reef tank. I have read several threads talking about royal gamma aggression and that it normally calms down. My question is where do I draw the line? I recently added a yellow watchman and the royal gamma has really been going after him. The watchman seems...

Hello, I recently introduced a tiger pistol shrimp to a 75 gallon tank with a small yellow watchman goby already in it. They seemed to have paired on day 1 but the goby is now constantly out of the hole. I have noticed new fresh bruises today and later noticed that when the goby got close to the...

Hi there, I have just started my 25g long nano reef tank. The tank has cycled for 2 and a half months and water quality is great and I have just added a small yellow watchman goby. 1 purple firefish. 1 forestfire branching montipora frag and an encrusting Hollywood stunner frag. (The coral frags...

I currently have a sand bed of about 3” of CaribSea Fiji Pink. I am about to add a Yellow Watchman Goby / Pistol shrimp pair and I’m worried that this won’t be substantial enough for them to make their burrows with. Any advice on what I could add and how I might go about mixing it into an...

hi everyone! figured this would be fun, randomly drop the last photo you took of your tank and write a short description of what / why you took that photo. here’s our ‘baby watchman’ after two days of ‘hiding.’ lol

Has anyone experienced a watchman goby burying themselves in a part of the tank where you can't see them? I'm thinking about one being one of the first fish in my tank, but I'm worried they'll end up in a tank I won't be able to seem them (especially paired with a pistol shrimp).

Looking for a final fish to add into my 65g 4ft and thought of a smaller tang like kole tangs and bristoletooth tangs. I really want a yellow eye kole tang but it seems like they were affected by the Hawaii ban. Any suggestions? (Price Range: $50-120) I have: 2 clowns YWG Melanurus Longnose Hawk
