I thought he could be a hitchhiking mithrax.

Caught that crab. Heroically I might add.... Sitting in a little tank until I figure out what to do with him.

So then what happens?
Sitting in front of my tank with my fish trap trying to catch my Goby (found a local buyer)... What do i see?

ANOTHER CRAB.

I give up.... I mean... really?

I literally don't do know where it came from.... I just dont understand! Invasion of the crabs!

Oh it was heroic alright....
I slammed my hand into the tank ripped out a piece of rock that he was on and then threw it in a small plastic bin.

Wish i could get a pick. He's long gone. (Crab number 2 is the one who molted)... (Crab number one was crushed and trashed. Since I had no where to put em.)

Good for him and the green banded go bits : )

nawilson89 · Jul 21, 2014

They were so happy they showed me the "dance of their people"

Naiad · Jul 21, 2014

nawilson89 · Jul 21, 2014

Thinking of going with a Neon Goby for my new fish. Thoughts?

Or a clown goby... not sure. but i want a goby!

nawilson89 · Jul 21, 2014

I also want Sea-Grass, but having trouble finding some in stock. Anyone know any place I could get some?

You can always try the high finned red banded goby. :bigsmile: Seriously, I love mine and he's never been aggressive but will hold his own against others. I have a bi color blennie that always hangs out right near the goby/shrimp cave is and they've never had a problem.
