Hey,
I just have a quick quetion for any of y'all that know a bit about this fish.
well I just bought a nice 7" from my LFS...and he's doing great....just as I expected....except for this morning, when i woke up, I found he had dug a pretty large hole underneath one of the big rocks.
I say 'large' cuz the hole is literally 7 or 8" in diameter and is about 1" to 1.5" deep......i was amazed at this, since nothing I read hinted that these fish were very good at digging holes..only that they seek out dark hiding spaces and rest there for the most of the day...
the hole basically is underneath a load-bearing rock..so i'm a bit concerned....heheh..jeeze if the rock slips into the hole i won't be surprised...i'll have one very, very flat goby to take out! ...but in any case I think it is fairly secure for the time being.
so...is this normal behaviour?? is he digging for proctection?? or is this digging activity just normal stuff?? i guess he prolly just wants a place to call his own, eh?
thanks,
Zach.
