Awsome little guy. How big is he? Looks tiny.

The gold neon evita goby is less then half an inch and the other goby is about half an inch maybe a bit bigger. Both are pretty tiny but super cute and cool :mrgreen:

Do you ever hear the shrimp clicking at all?

Yep, he's only around a half an inch in size but I can hear him no problem when he clicks. The tank is in my living room and my dinning room is just above where the tank is and every now and then when I'm at the table eating, I'll hear him loud and clear :biggrin:

Gold Neon Eviota Goby (Eviota pellucida)A dwarf goby of some sort, the lfs said it's a pink stripe goby, one pic on the internet said stripe head goby :noidea: I call him my upside down goby because he hangs out upside down under the rock and swims upside down.

I had one of those Eviota's before, can't remember what happened but I don't have it now. I saw those stripped guys, they've been there for quite a while. I believe they're a species of nocturnus goby. I keep meaning to go over and grab one. Do you happen to remember if they had anymore when you grabbed yours?

Nope, I guess it isn't a nocturnus. I'm surprised...it's a trimma species. It's called a Stripehead Goby (Trimma Striata) http://sheric.ru/fish/atlas/577.jpg

Cool thanks for the ID. I know on boxing day big als had two, I got mine on Jan. 14th and I can't remember if there was still 2 or not and I haven't been there since so not sure if they have any now.

Just spent a lot of time tetris"ing" the rock on top of each other until I could press down on it without it being too tippy.

Ok so my tetris rock scape wasn't the best idea.....awhile ago I found my top rock on the bottom of the tank :eek: Couple of wads of epoxy later and I feel better now :biggrin:

I also got some needle point mesh screen from wal-mart and modified my overflow so little gobies stay out. Worked for my yasha, since I've add it I haven't found him in the overflow. However the other day I found my stripehead goby in there :evil: not sure how he got in there :mmph:

"Nano goby fence" -as Doug calls it :mrgreen:

I've had to do that on a few tanks too. The mesh is a pretty tight weave though, you'll need to keep on top of scraping the algae off.

One idea I'd consider if I was in that situation is I'd make a little frame out of acrylic that you can just plop on top of the overflow. Ie., an acrylic lid with say eggrcrate glued to that spaced so that it sits close to flush on the inside of the overflow's eggcrate, and then zapstrap the mesh to that eggcrate. That way when it comes time to clean it you just lift it up, take it to the sink, and plop it back in place 5 minutes later.

Doug: before you get your panties in a knot, I can look, so long as I don't touch. Isn't that the rule? :biggrin:
