I have a diamondback Goby and a fire shrimp currently in a 20g QT.
Tonight the Goby was going over the shrimp and opening his mouth really wide, the shrimp would move away a little, the Goby did it again, big wide mouth, keeping it open and then the shrimp started touching the Goby's face and eyes for a second, then took off to the top of the tank where he's been hiding behind the hob filter.
They aren't going into the same tank after this, so hopefully they aren't bonding, I know pistol shrimp and some gobies bond.
Anyone know what this weird behavior is? I didn't know if the Goby wanted to eat the shrimp or have his mouth cleaned!
