    I love my diamond goby. Keeps my sand in beautiful condition. And he has a great little personality. Nice looking fish!

    he/she is looking good. my pair have mated frequently in my tank. one of my gobies disappeared for about 4-5 days and then on the last night she (i think) opened her burrow and released the fry into the water column to be greeted by my filter and other hungry fish :( havent saved one so far. the quest continues...
    good luck with yours
