Yellow Clown Goby Hiding for 3 Weeks

[MetaKnight101]

Hi, I have a Yellow Clown Goby that I added to my 75 gallon he's been in there for 3 weeks and is hiding in a rock ,all he does is come out for like 5 secs everyday then dart back in. When he was in my 13 gallon nano, he was always out and swimming. Now hes just hiding Ina rock, same with my Diamond Goby too. Any ideas why is he doing this? Has he not adjusted to the tank yet?

1 - Yellow Tang - He's small but will be moved to bigger tank so no worries

If there aren't enough fish out and about, small fish can stay hidden.

Clowns are site oriented, so aren't actively swimming throughout the tank.

The concept of dither fish is prettt well known. Their activity may be enough, but not for your gobies.

You could try feeding more frequently.
