Your tank looks to be covered adequately how did he manage that?? I had a tank covered with black egg crate and had two different diamond goby’s manage to jump through??? So yeah I wouldn’t say it’s tank parameters necessarily.

It's amazing how fish can find that one tiny opening and end up on the floor! It certainly could be that he got spooked. Hopefully he's back in the tank and will soon get used to his new home.I just got a diamond goby this morning, right before I was going to sleep, I hear a flop on my floor. All of my parameters are good, 0 ammonia, 8.1ph. Any tips to prevent?
Just out of curiosity, what are the temp and salinity?

Temp is 77.8 and salinity is 1.024, I once had a yellow head goby and every time I hear the swishing noise of them going around it’s instant ptsd. I also believe I found the source of the spook, I found one of my emerald crabs dead with a massive piece of shell schucked off of him.

I with I knew how he managed to do it, I found a emerald crab with a chunk of its shell taken off so I assume they got into a fight. I hope so…

Sorry about the crab!

Not really sure. I just taped up the feeding holes in the corners.

Thanks, but I kinda hope that that was the reasoning for the jump, so I can assure there is nothing wrong with my tank.
