Fish behavior...

[Krzydmnd]

Hi all! I recently picked up a yasha goby and he's a beautiful little fish. He's been in a tank for about a week and is eating fine and looks good.

What I'm seeing is that he spends 90% of his day parked on top of his reflection in the bottom of the tank. I've tried covering the area bsck up with sand but he swishes it away.

I'm wondering if he's obsessed with himself (he is Beautiful, I get it), posturing his reflection, or comforted in a companion.

Any thoughts?
