Pink spotted watchman goby

[Chela101]

Hello, I been having my tank for 3 years and like any tank my sand gets brown, and I got today a pink spotted watchman goby!! So cute! I done research on their diet but I wanted to know what are ppl feeding them and how frequently and does anyone have one that lasted more than a year? Thank you for any tips and tricks up anyone’s sleeves :)

Let’s see some pictures
I think those little guys are jumpers, I could never keep one past a couple of weeks.
Sometimes,
They’d jump first day, and my dog would eat them, caught him in the act once.

I had one for several (can't quite remember how many) years. My favorite of the gobies. They sift some sand, but most of their food needs to be from prepared foods, unlike the sand-sifting gobies.

Feed meaty frozen foods, like Mysis and spirulina brine, and flakes/pellets at least once a day. Twice is better.

That’s my new addition… he is big but he is the only one

Dang, I thought that was a shark at first….
I might’ve been confusing this for a pink diamond spotted goby, those are for sure jumpers. How big is your tank, and have you considered starting a build thread?

Well my tank has like wired thing ontop and then I also have the glass lid it came with so he can’t escape lol and he looks really mad all the time and what’s a build thread?

It’s like a journal for your aquarium, and it also helps for other members to have a look at your tank, and help you out. You get to meet some pretty interesting people, and sometimes get invited to some really cool events i.e. frag swaps, Frag bbq’s, even some special invitation events.

I bought a kit off of eBay. Just type in Sump baffle kit on eBay for whatever size breeder tank you’re using.


This link Should help you get started.

Ohhhh okay I was just going to make it out of pcp pipe and a return pump and a small tank in the bottom but yours look better lol

it makes a difference adding the kit honestly, puts everything in place.
