Default My Goby is screwy

I thought watchmen gobies sit at the bottom in the rocks?!?! I just put him in main last night and he's swimming all over and he's ended up in the overflow 4 times now. LOL

Fish never behave as advertised hahaha

haha..

My watchman goby is in the sand allllllll day long. You don't have sand do you? Could be a factor as to why he's swimmin' all over? I'm sure he'll smarten up sooner or later. But I think sand would help him feel more at home.

Maybe he just adapted to the QT tank conditions, and now that he's in your display he needs to re-adjust. I still think some sand would do him some good. After a bit of research and what not, I decided when I upgrade , if I go BB I have to get rid of him so he can live happily in the proper environment. But, if I choose to keep him, then I'll need to put some sand in my new tank. They love sifting through the sand with their mouth (at least mine does) Really cool fish... and they're super tough.
