Engineer Gobys need a new home

Mz. Fix It · Sep 1, 2020

As much as it pains me to do this I need to find a new home for my 2 engineer gobys. They have been in my tank for a little under year now and are about 6 to 7 inches long. Although I felt they would be a great addition and keep my sand bed turned I had no idea how much sand they can move in a very short period of time. I had a beautiful hot pink plate coral sitting on the sand and they finally killed it off with their daily burying it in the sand, me digging it out, them burying it again until finally they won, $750 coral bit the dust. They are stunning to watch but I suppose all my little guys, watchman goby, blue spot jawfish, twin spot, etc have just about had enough of these bulldozers tearing up their sand hiding spots and are starting to appear stressed out a little more each day. Therefore, now is the time for me to rehome these guys and get my tank settled back down.

I am in Woodstock, GA area so if you live nearby and would be willing to give these guys a new home please let me know. I don't wish to ship them anywhere so please do not ask if you are not within driving distance.

Sorry to hear that, but they can be menaces.

If you want to drive down to Premier Aquatics in Marietta, they would give you credit for a trade in.

Or if you join the Atlanta Reed Club forum, someone will take it there.

I am a member and have posted on ARC forum. I may call Pure Reef in Alpharetta to inquire and also check out Premier Aquatics. Thanks for the reply. You live in Atlanta......you sure you don't want them?
