reasons for brusing on goby

[siglap]

my goby died today. i bought it 3 days ago.on the first day after i released it . it immedistely started to dig and sift sand. on the 2nd day it continued its rountine though at a lower rate. at noght i saw the burrow it used as a shelter was occupied by my blue damsel and the goby was out in the middl eof no where. and the following day it lay died with bruising all around its mouth. are these doings of the damsel or some other creature.

pls help

By the looks of it...ur damsel could be the culprit...

But muz gather more evidence first

But is ur goby small?

[siglap]

he is bout 1.5 x that of the goby. i think is the damsel as well .need to get a trap. know where to get?

[mAriNe_enthusiast]

Not sure abt the trap...But dun add fishes for the time being.

And goby actualli do get harm by crabby and bristle worms when they are in their hole and get stuck in there...

People who normally dun have luck of gobies

1) People who own aggressive fishes

2) People who fill their tank to the rim..or only 1-5cm from the top of the tank.

i think that sums it up. i have only a 2 footer. cant afford less water
