New tank

[paularchibald8]

So I have set up a my new planted tank I ended up using black sand and put a good amount of plants with driftwood in my tank. I ended up putting in 2 pea puffers a peacock gundgeon and a male and female gold spotted goby ( they are a silvery metallic goby) and so far worst that's happened is pea puffers were chasing each other a bit, but the peacock gundgeon has been doing a lot of hiding and the gobies not as much but still hiding a good amount any suggestions on how to get them to be more active and out? I know gobies by nature can be skidish

With more plant coverage/hiding places and with time, they should be less shy.

Thanks man and anyone personally have experience with these gobies? Not found much on them online and I like to know everything I can about them

Pictures of Planted Tank

So in the pictures below are the pictures for the tank I was refering to, if anyone has any suggestions on how to keep everything or move stuff around to make my tank more active let me know I really love my new gobies and want to see them more

Nice looking tank but puffers are very territorial and love to nip fins. Peacocks are a little shy anyway. With added aggression it's no surprise that it's hiding. I know nothing about your other gobies though.

I would keep an eye on those puffers. As said above they are aggressive and can rip up fish find like none other.
