Missing Yellow Watchman Goby

[jkruer01]

I had a Yellow Watchman Goby that was always hanging out in the open.

Two weeks go I went out of town and when I came back he had jumped into the overflow. I finally got him out but he was not a happy camper. The next day he disappeared and I have not seen him since.

I have checked everywhere...sump, overflow, floor, etc and I can't find him anywhere.

I assumed he was dead, but there have been no ammonia or nitrate spikes in my tank. I haven't found his body either.

Is it normal for a yellow watchman goby to go missing for 2 weeks?

What do you think, is he dead or alive?

Totally normal. That’s what they do.

Ok, cool. Thanks! I wasn't worried for the first week, but after 2 weeks I was starting to get a little scared. Thanks!

They can disappear for awhile, but even if he dies, unless the tank is tiny ammonia wilp not be detectable.
