Orange diamondback goby

[daniel_lee95]

So I have had my goby for 5 months and my tank has been running for 6 months. This morning I saw him go crazy and then he called down so i figured he was gonna be okay. But a few hours later I see him dead. I checked the parameters after that.
nitrates:0
Nitrites:0
Ammonia:0
Ph:8.3
What can be the problem?

Any other fish picking on him? Been eating well? Any sinces of illness marks or what not

May have gotten stung?

I've had a couple fish get stung by my carpet and not immediately show signs besides scars until they dies from either stress or pain.

Yea what I was thinking as parameters look good.

That's why I dont keep any anemones anymore. Don't Wang a fish to die that cost more than the nem

Anenomes are a love hate relationship.

No fish in a ten gallon. Unless your really expierence and then only really small fish like gobies

My goby just died from an anemone though...

 

[Carlson Moncrief]

I guess you could but I wouldn't. I like for bigger fish like clowns and up to have a lot of swimming room

Just get a 30 gallon tank. It would look really good with a couple of snowflakes and they would be happy.
