Goby's are awsome!

I just got a goby, those guys are BOLD!!! He's gone off on my cleaner shrimp- keep in mind that he's at the most an inch long and not even as big around as a pencil and my cleaner shrimp, well, he's cleaner shrimp size! He's been fending everyone else in my tank away from a dying mussel. Quite comical, and even more amusing trying to watch him suck down a piece of mussel that was as big around as his head!!! He's a pretty amazing little fish! I think its safe to say that he's laid his claim to the bottom portion of the tank. My b&w clown rains supreme on the upper portion of the water column!!! Made MANY attacks to my boyfriends hand while he was rearranging the rocks. I think someone's damsel side is showing!

I've always liked my gobies...while I had them. Be forewarned, many gobies are jumpers. I've had at least 2 leap to their demise, even with eggcrate over my tank the buggers somehow found a way out. Just be extra vigilant.

Thanks for the warning! Will have to keep an eye out for him.
