My Watchman Goby Frenchie

I just wanted to share this picture. I have been fixing my dryer all morning and it sits across the hallway from my salt water tank and our goby has been in this exact position for almost an hour just watching my every move. He really is very personable for a goby (at least ones that I've ever had) and gets mad when we look at the other fish to long without paying attention to him that he will grab sand in his mouth and come and spit it on them while we are looking to show us his distain for looking at the others for too long. Haha. Have a great day!!

Thats awesome! My old watchmen was nowhere to be found. I could only see him if I was outside on the patio and looking in the tank. The second I opened the door boom gone.

My Royal Gramma can see me laying on the couch. It's a little unnerving being constantly judged by a fish.

My gramma is not as judgy as the clown goby I used to have (had to trade back to LFS when I got serious with acros). This guy side-eyes me when I'm doing maintenance as if to say:
"Oh you're cleaning the rock with the danged toothbrush.. bet your phosphates are high and you haven't done water change in a month.. terrible"
