Knight goby

Post by Srkoe »

I have a knight goby with my f8's...they don't bother him at all but he stays in his cave almost constantly. He only really comes out to "attack" one of my f8's that like to wander into his territory. I actually find it a bit amusing...he's such a grump! He is absolutely beautiful and I would love to see him more. I know they are aggressive with there own kind but I have also heard that they may become braver when kept with more of their species. Does anyone have any input on this subject? Should I get another, or will it just likely hide constantly as well?

I started with 5 and the only time I ever really saw them was during feeding, now that 4 of them committed suicide, the one that is left seems to be way more active now and I see him all the time.

He doesn't even come out during feeding!!! I have to squirt worms in his cave. Between him and the BBg's I don't know who is harder to feed. He will come out and eat clams when I drop one in for the puffers. I might have to pick another one up next trip the lfs.

they are nocturnal probably not feeding him right time of day
The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.
