Yellow Watchman Goby

[dinGdinG]

Dear reefers~~~!

Just wondering if any of you keep a yellow watchman goby? Care to share your experiences with it?

I had mine for close to 2 months and i have only seen it out of its cave twice... When it is out, it will behave aggressively on its own, seems to be fighting itself right in front of the tank (I assume it is seeing its own reflection..)

It was my first fish and I have since added a firefish and 2 clownfish, all 3 of them very active and eating very well but i have never ever seen my watchman eating (although it looks fat when I have the luck to see it that 2 times..)

I have even rescued it from my IOS once!! Totally no idea how it got there

I purposely overfeed all the time and leave pieces of mysis and pellets just outside its cave, probably thats why it is still fat..

Any fellow reefers with similar experience? What should i do to encourage him to be more sociable like the other fishes I have currently?

Mine took about 2 months before it started venturing out of its hideout. Maybe just give it more time?

Hardy guys and excellent jumpers. Paired up with a pistol and they're amazing.

Mine was a pair and were readily eating after 2 days. It would venture far out and compete with aggressive eaters like yellow tang and flasher wrasse.

Pity tank crashed from high nitrite and nitrate.
