Hi All,
First post here. I recently got into the hobby and have been lurking for a few months.
A month ago I added my first fish to my new Nuvo 25 Lagoon, a very small yellow watchman goby. He did great for a few days and then totally vanished. I waited a couple days and never saw him so I took the scape apart just to look around and didn't find anything. The tank does have a mesh lid but there was a period it was off so I eventually just assumed it jumped and got eaten by the cat/dogs.
I waited about 2 weeks and decided to pick up a new yellow watchman along with a tiger pistol. They paired immediately and have been inseperable since. This weekend I took the part completely apart to move it to it's permanent home. I took out the entire rock scape, all my frags, livestock etc. I completely emptied the water from the display and back chambers. I kept the water heated in a brute but it took a while so whatever tiny bit of water in the tank had to get very cold by the time I was done.
Anyway, fast forward three days since the move to a little while ago. I went to feed the tank and happened to look over the back of the return area when I saw "Gabe 1" pop out from underneath the second chamber and grab some shrimp, then dart back under. I guess all this time he has been living in the tiny, tiny section underneath the second chambers in the return pump section. I can't imagine how I'm ever going to catch him but if I do, should I try to reintroduce him to the DT or will that cause problems with "Gabe 2" and Shrimpy?
