To make a long story short, I called this morning and I was told that there was GSP's in stock, when I get there I see Figure 8's in freshwater with like tumors sticking out there sides...... The blithering idiot I spoke to is obviously new and has no gosh darn idea how to tell the difference. He tried to sell me Dwarf Puffers and told me they go good in High end Brackish.....It was my girlfriend that restrained me from cursing him out.
I walk down the isles and behold I see a freshwater tank full of "Dragonfish" and Plecos. It was the Dragon Goby's.
I was like " I WANT ONE!"
So they gave me for like 8 bucks.
He was dripped acclimated for like over an hour. After he went in he was like "Crap, this place is huge" I went to drop off my girlfriend back home and when I got in he was running up and down against the current from the return tube of my canister filter. He was swimming freely all over the place and was making friends with his new tank mates.
I was cleaning his tank last week and accidentally knocked sand in his "house", he looked at me, I think he said a few four letter words, and there were plumes of sand coming out of there! The first night I had him in the FW tank he took refuge behind the intake for my filter. Next morning he was no where to be found! I visually searched in and around the tank and even tore down the filter, still no goby. Three days later I'm feeding the tank and I see a little movement from under a flat piece of slate I use for a base for a piece of drift wood. I looked closer and all I see is a pair of beady eyes and big mouth snarfing down flake food. He tunneled under the slate slab and the bottom glass. There was only about 1/4 inch space for him under there but he was happy as could be! I can now hand feed him. He is the most intriguing fish I have ever had the privilege to raise.
