Be sure you figure out a way to get some food down to the goby. After he's sifted all the sand for goodies (one of my favorite aquarium behaviors) he's not very good at competing with others (like that beautiful wrasse) during general feeding time.

I had a good time feeding mine by pumping a turkey baster of mysis/brine/krill beneath the sand where the tangs, clowns and others couldn't reach it. That is, until a two-week out-of-country trip had my wife doing the feeding. "I tried to do that turkey baster thing," she said when I returned to a goby looking rpetty enemic, "but I don't think I did it very well." The goby died a couple of days later and I had to say, "No, I don't know *what* happened to him."

Anyway, they really are a lot of fun, but need a little more effort than the LFS usually mentions.

Yeah, you should'a seen the little guy dig down in the area I "seeded!" :yay: I kind of drug the tip of the baster beneath the surface as I squeezed the bulb. That way the sand "seals" itself back over the food keeping the big boys from getting at it.:lol2:

One of the clowns used to swim around as if he kinda knew what was going on, but couldn't do anything about it.:doh: Maybe a bit of work, but really a great deal of fun as well.

Did you trade off that monster engineer we brought up?

The engineer got stuck in the pump while the rock was in the tub
