from my understand goby dont like their same kind unless it's male and female..

that's why only buy a goby will do...

too much sand shifter will upset your sandbed and thus might result in a tank crash...

eaquarist has them .. yishun aquST@# oso hv .. i find them more effective & less KA JIAO than golden head ... the way they did it more gracefully ..

[giantbicycle]

saw one just now at Cl@me*ti selling at $12 ..Quiet EX leh...

I had a diamond watchman that jumped out of the tank into the overflow box TWICE! Could it be the bar (dragon) goby that I also keep? Were you refering to goby of the same kind or any goby in the goby family? Thanks..

How much is this? I heard quite expensive right? And it only last for 2 months or so?

Hi Giantbicycle,

I used to own a golden head glider. Its a very hardworking goby but the fact that it scoope up the sand and spit it through the gills everywhere messes up any corals that may be left on the sand bed!

In any case, I have try twice, both died because there isnt enough alage to sustain them (I have a 2 feet tank).....died due to hunger!

So take these into consideration. Just like my mandrain...died of hunger inside my 2 feet.....

If you do not have enough infauna in your sand bed, an alternative would be to supplement them with sinking pellets.

just bought one gloden head goby...It is not picking up the sand leh??

[ben]

u had said just bought so its still new

[giantbicycle]

It might be hiding somehwere below the LR. It will surface eventually, unless kanna attack and die there.

[giantbicycle]

[alanseah]

try to use mysis shrimp to bring him out to the open...

[Yellowbelly]

My Blue Streak Goby was happily shifting the sand for one month then suddenly vanish without a trace
