I bought a second diamond goby to hopefully pair with the one in the DT. I bought the goby and put him in the DT (I don't do this anymore). I didn't see him after I put him in tank. After talking to the LFS that sold him to me - they said they had some deaths with that shipment. After I didn't see him for about a week - I assume dead.
Then my fish got velvet. Lost most of fish. I only had 1 clown, 1 lawnmower, and the original diamond.

I could not catch that diamond, so I bought a trap and waiting like 1 hour for him to go in. I finally caught him and now my tank can go fallow!

However, to my surprise the next day I see the second diamond just having a great time in tank. It was first time I've seen him since the day in put him in tank! I was shocked to see him alive after one month of him hiding. I assume he was hiding from the other diamond. So if I can catch the second one, I should probably separate the two diamonds in such a small QT tank? I'm I thinking right?
 
I'd separate them or use a critter cage of some sort. Hard to say, I had 2 that hated each other for a few weeks but are now buds.
