Hey guys i recently got a diamond watchman goby he is not a juvenile and still not an adult. A medium fish..
Once I put him in the tank 6 days ago he turned my sand white and started to dig everywhere until he choose an island rock. He digged only there now and mate a few entrances and was well. I fed him and he ate.. he was very active and i was happy.
2 days ago he disappeared, no traces what so ever..his "home" did no longer have any entrances, the sand fell into the holes. My aqua scape is kind of open so you can't not see the fish. Me and My partner looked for it for 2 days with no luck and started to think he was gone.
Today i did a tank clean and cleaned all the sand, sifted everything since I was removing 50% of the water, and after the cleaning was done i cleaned the tank glass and looked down the sump, my partner saw him and we were both shocked. He just appeared from nowhere. He "spawned" at his original home and acted kind of strange. I would say he breathes a bit faster then normal, and he looks like he's trying to hide from other fishes, he doesn't swim fast if another fish comes close just moves about an inch.
I tryed to remake an entrance to his home but he doesn't dig, just stays close to it..
Tank is red sea 170e with a 50l sump
Other fishes:
2 clowns mid size
1 cleaner wrasse mid size
1 dory a baby she's very small
1 star blenny
Nobody bothers him , they just swim to investigate him and he moves. Not in a panic but moves..
Could anyone give me any guidance?
Thanks
