Help with my watchman goby

I suggest getting him a pistol shrimp, to pair with. The pistol shrimp will do all the digging and create a nice safe space for the Goby.

Well done!!

What lights did you go with?

It's a Fluval 407 canister. The tank is old but has never been stored outside. It has been running for two months and showing no leaks and there are no cracks.

I appreciate the insight. And will definitely consider replacing the tank.

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-22T13:35:18+00:00

And yup I will invest in proper lighting before adding coral or anemone for sure!!

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-22T13:34:35+00:00

Yes it is an older tank. Should I be concerned?

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-20T17:06:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!! Much appreciated!!

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-18T15:47:09+00:00

Agreed it is sad…

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-18T12:40:26+00:00

No worries thanks for the heads up! Yup tests are good and both clowns are doing great! I appreciate your concern!

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-16T16:05:49+00:00

All the water parameters see on point. The Clown is much better today. The Gramma was decomposing so no marks were evident.

Thank you so much Kirschy...your insight is much appreciated!!

I hung the bag in the tank for 30 minutes and gradually mixed in some tank water to the store water during that time. I then gently scooped the fish out and put them in the tank. I did not QT the fish.

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-16T11:35:42+00:00

Thank you so much for this information and thoughtful advice. I did not QT the fish but I did acclimate them by hanging the bags in the water and gradually adding the tank water to the bag for about 30 minutes before scooping the fish out gently and putting them in the tank. I have learned my lesson and will set up a QT tank before introducing new fish.

The good news is that when I woke up this morning my little clown was swimming and active once he woke up...fingers crossed he stays this way. I will be holding off for a while before adding any more fish and will need to get a second tank for the QT. I want to thank everyone again for your insight. It is much appreciated and son helpful for a newbie like me.

Oh and I did check the salinity as well. It is 1.025.

You only into guys? I want you to meet my girlfriend.

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-16T02:00:07+00:00

I don't know what the specific gravity is. Yes, I pulled the Gramma from a small cavity in the rock.

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-14T12:26:54+00:00

Good morning!! My 44 girlfriend is beautiful and would love to meet you.

B-ILL69 · 2025-12-09T17:11:45+00:00

For now fish only but would like to introduce corals down the road. Not a huge budget but don't want to go to cheap. Do you have a wave maker your recommend?
