So we got a pair of engineer gobies a few months ago. One had already changed to the blotches and the other stripes still. Both 4-5” long probably. From the start they never really figured out what they were supposed to do in our 180 reef. They mostly just swam around. Only in the past few weeks did they start moving sand but even then it was only in the corner of the tank and they would just move sand from the corner to the side of the tank, uncovering my elegance basically. They got mad everytime the husband filled the missing hole back in so the elegance wouldn’t “tumble” down against the egg crate.
They’re always huge eaters and come swimming with all the other fish when they see me. Tonight I didn’t see them when I fed and now can’t remember if I saw them earlier when I fed them.
The top is completely covered so 100% no way they bailed.
Is it possible they figured out how to burrow under all the rocks we have and are staying put for some reason? It’s just odd to me because they always been aggressive active feeders the two months we’ve had them in the tank that I can’t believe they wouldn’t eat. But then I can’t imagine them both dying at the same time for some strange reason and the CUC took care of them.
Any thoughts?
