Banded goby

[Leedowlrods]

Ok so it was fish shop Friday and I came home with a banded high fin goby, he was a very young one, ie about one inch long.
I acclimated him for an hour then dropped him in.
Happy with my new mate I went to the pub and hoped he found the juvenile pistol shrimp (hitchhiker).
Today I woke up and I swear the bugger is not in the tank,
I've fed tank and done a part WC.
I know you can't help me, but where the hell has he gone?!

He`s either on the floor or hiding in the tank. They are jumpers so check out the floor all around the tank and if he`s in the rocks then just wait hor him to show up.

Update...

I just resisted the urge to buy another one,
I got home and got my torch out, with a bit of neck craning and a contorted body I spotted him tucked away... I'm sure he was laughing too.

Glad to hear you found him!

One of my LFS had one yesterday, they even had some Spanish Dancers. Maybe this site will help depending on where your located.

He's very shy at the mo but at least he likes feeding time
