so we thought this watchman goby was dead because we didn't see him for about a month. we got a sand sifting goby to replace him that lasted about 3 days till we found him outside the tank. He made a break for it but sadly didn't know about land. so another couple of months go by and I was going to wait to add another fish until I got my nutrients balanced. i was dealing with a cyano outbreak. bought a UV sterilizer and a new protein skimmer. Also replenished the copepod population. any way long story short, everything is back in balance and this guys re-emerged!

Ha! I had a Randall’s goby disappear for about a month and a half, I was getting ready to pick a new fish and walked by the tank one day - there he was, fat and happy in the front of the tank. It is certainly weird when they do something like that!

I'll see mine for the first part of the day. After that, back to his hole, where I won't see him, haha.
