    I think my diamond goby is stuck under a rock!! I havent seen him in 2 days now. He usually comes out everyday in his burrow every time i start giving the other fishes food. Now all the holes in the burrow is closed up w/ sand. What should i do?? should i lift up the rock and see if he's there?

    i've look around the aquarium, thinking that he might've jumped out, but he's nowhere to be found...

    i guess you can lift up your rock if your really worried or it looks like your rockwork has shifted. but my guess is he is either hiding or he jumped out. diamond gobies are jumpers. but youd be surprised how good fish are at hiding

    I hope he was at the back of the tank... so i dont have to worry looking for him..
    I think i'll just lift up the rock and see if he's there... a lot of work though:angry:
