Who has a Yellow Watchman Goby?

[steve fedyk]

I have Yellow Watchman in my 120, he lives with a pistol srimp. The two of them dig all the sand out from under my rock. I put ther the rock in first then added sand, so they should be safe. They will hide in the back of the tank for weeks, and then come out for weeks. They just push the sand around in one corner of my tank and make piles. My sand bed is 1" in the front and 3"-4" in the back.
I feed the reagler frozzen food and pellets. I don't think they will jump out of your tank.
A shy little fish.

I have a Yellow Watchman in my 90 gal. He lives with a Blue Gudgeon (kinda weird). He's a great little fish (my wife's favourite: she says he looks just like Bert on Sesame Street). He is quite timid of the larger fish (Fox Face, SF Tang, Coral Beauty, Ruby-headed Wrasse and 2 Fasle Percs) and spends most of his day in or around his den under the rocks. He is not a big sand sifter or jumper, and has never shown any interest in the inverts.

Well, he does look like Bert! Ours is called "Toby the Goby".
Oh, and he eats anything I give him as well.

- 1 for not sifting but a big
+ 1 for not eating the sexies!

I have a Diamond Watchman Goby which is pretty much the same thing as a Yellow Watchman. He is inseparable from the pistol shrimp and they make a great sand sifting team without displacing to much sand like a Sleeper Goby would. They've done such a great job that their little patch has been the only part of the sandbed that hasn't had any cyano issues. They live about a foot away from a pair of Sexy Shrimp and the goby has never shown as interest.
