    ;D ive had my engineer gobies for almost 3 years and ive only ever seen there heads out to eat this morning 1 came out completely for about 15 min i havent seen the whole fish since i put them in as 6 inch young ones. hes about 14 inches long and a very thick body. he stayed on the right side of the tank im hoping this wasnt a 1 time deal if he starts comming out maby both will. talk about a shy fish 3 years to finally show himself. im glad i FINALLY got to see at least one of them

    I have a lot of gobies and they used to hide at first. People use to ask me "where's the fish?" Now they take turns coming out. Enjoy

    Wow, 3 years and some inches longer, that's pretty neat! I hardly ever see my tiny crab, been about 1 month and a half now.
