Hello everyone. I have been lurking on this forum for a few weeks now and finally decided to make an account and ask for some help.
I have a 31 gal tank with 2 Mickey Mouse moons, a dwarf frog and a violet goby. I have had this tank for a few months now. My first fish were the violet goby and a goldfish.. The goldfish died about two weeks ago, probably due to a spike in the temperature on my tank.
Anywho... My issue is with my violet goby (or dragon goby). I have had alot of trouble finding food for him. But just today I purchased some shrimp pellets and put a few near his little cove. I just checked and they are gone. He is usually very lazy, and sits in his little cove nearly motionless. Since the water change however, he has been floating vertically against the glass of my tank, almost as if he's dead. I poked him with my net and he began swimming around the tank almost as if he is in panic.. I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with these guys. Could he be reacting badly to the water change? Maybe the food he recently ate?
Thanks in advance
