I have open top tanks now,but when I was using eggcrate I had a firefish jump through and onto the floor.Same fish knocked himself silly a couple time by trying the same trick.
Also if you find the eggcrate blocks light,turn it over.One side is slightly smaller than the other.You want the small side up if I remember correctly.

My vote is that something was harrassing the goby. What else do you have in there that might be a bully?

Sorry, Mike That sucks. At least it wasn't anything you did.....your tank seems to be doing very well.

Yeah when my wife called to say we lost 2 fish I thought the tank was crashing or something. I have seen the goby thats paired with my pistol shrimp chase the diamond around when he gets to close to his territory. That may have been it but there are so many rocks and caves to go in I thought it was a bit weird that he would go strait up and out if he was being harassed.

Here is a pic of the other goby (you can see a bit of the pistol shrimp on the left)



I would love to get another diamond goby cause they are neat to watch and do a great job on the sandbed. But I'm not to sure if I can.

I think I cursed myself by posting in your thread today :O I was downstairs after coming home tonight and after dinner just staring into my tank any my purple tang came up quick on my sleeper goby and he made a dash from the sandbed to get away and went straight up and out over the side of the tank and onto the carpet. :O If I had not been downstairs beside the tank at that time he would have been a goner!

I hope this thread hasn't started a trend! Good thing you were right there. I'm thinking this is more justification to set up a webcam so I can monitor my tank from work

Sorry for your losses. I had a cinnamon clown fish chase a zebra goby out of the tank, along with herself
