My tank is just over 2 months old and 75 gallons. My first set of fish introduced to the tank were a clownfish pair, Nebulous Wrasse, and a Yellow Watchman Goby. The Goby for weeks would be found in the overflow box at least twice a week. I would put him back in the main display and he would disappear under the rocks until I would find him again in the overflow box.

Well Wednesday last week I put in a Tiger pistol shrimp and released him under the set of rocks the goby would always disappear under. Today while I have been at work, my wife fed the fish and the goby was chilling in the front in a burrow. Not scared and running under the rock with every movement. He stayed out and ate. My wife said she watched him for a few minutes and he never hid away. She did not see the shrimp, but I am sure he is under there working away at their new home. I am so happy to have him back and not wondering if he is alive or dead! My wife originally named him TikTok because he disappeared and I wasn't a fan. Now i can't help but think the name is perfect! LOL
