This is gonna be a weird question, but do shrimp gobies get depressed if their paired shrimp dies?
for a while now I’ve had a tiger pistol shrimp/ yellow watchman goby pair. They were doing fine for the past several months. Within the past few days I noticed that my goby was out of the cave more than usual. I then noticed that the usual den entrances were gone. Yesterday my goby was hanging out towards the top of the tank instead of hiding in the rock work. This morning I couldn’t find him till I was literally writing this part of the post. (Thought he might have died and gotten eaten by my clean-up-crew) he’s farther away from where he and the shrimp built their home leading me to believe that the shrimp died for some reason. He’s still behaving oddly. As I just looked up to see him in the upper back against the side of one of my power heads.
will gobies die if their partner shrimp dies?
