Will gobys jump out of the tank?

I have a blue spotted Goby. It's a cool fish. They really don't leave the sand bed. so They won't jump out.

I think you should get 7 Powder Blue tangs.

Just kidding. I have a lawnmower blenny in qt right now. Pretty cool fish.

Yellow watchman, yellow watcman, yellow watchman! Can you tell I am partial to these? I love mine. get a pistol shrimp to go with it and they will entertain you for hours. Wonderful relationship.

I love my Yellow Watchman....I'd like my pistol shrimp if I ever saw it....they still haven't noticed each other.

Yes that is the same fish, and yes the engineer goby also goes by the name convict goby. It is normally refered to as the engineer while it is still young.

I have read many different sites about it now, and it seems that the max size can range from 9 to 13 inches.
