I moved from a 14gallon biocube to a 32. When i moved could not find my goby, thought he stuck to the rocks and moves that way. Unfortunately never saw him fast forward to today. Was cleaning out the 14gal and i found him!! Poor guy has ben in dirty stagnate water. I do not have a separate tank to be able to put him in. He is currently moving and breathing. He is a little skinny but he is okay.

What should I do? Should i keep him in the 1 gallon jug for a few days? I can put some rock in there to help him destress.

Why cant you put him in the 32? I would put a small air bubbler in there at least

I just wanted to see if people thoughtI should isolate him. He can 100% go in the 32 if that is the best course of action.

Put him in the new tank? Otherwise add a a bubbler for air like said above.

The only other option would be to put it in QT to fatten it up

As long as it is safe i can drop him in.

Do you think he needs it? He is swimming super happily right now.

Was there something wrong with the last tank? Or any reason you’re not wanting to add him to the 32?

No just wanted to upgrade was all. No real reason, i just wanted to make sure he would be safe to add back. If there was any risk involved.

Added him to the 32 going ti turn off the lights for a few hours then feed when the lights come back on.

Looks good, I’m sure it will fatten back up

Hopefully he finds his pistol shrimp buddy in there soon as well.
