    I do want one. Is one type better than the other? I also need to find a place to get one. I have not ordered live stock on line. I am open to suggestions.

    There is clicking in my tank that I have never found the source of. Maybe I already have one but I would have thought I would have seen it at least once.

    When I got my first ywg he got sucked into the intake and stayed near the top of the tank for the first week. then I got him a pistol they hung out and made a burrow within 2 days.

    To bad I lost him durring tank move as they hid in the substrate.

    my kole chases my bi color blenny as long as there's hiding spots he should be fine as blennies and gobys are pretty fast swimmers

    Nope. Sometimes you never see them LOL.
    We put 2 in 2 months ago, and I just "saw" one of them last Saturday. Not sure if the other one is still alive.

    Maybe give it some time after getting the goby & see if the possible pistol you have and the fish find each other. We have 2 gobies, and neither of them has found the shrimp (which was the whole point of buying the shrimp).

    The 2 we bought (out of several) were sharing a burrow at the LFS. We put them in opposite ends of the tank. For all I know, there are 2 in the burrow now, but the hole is so small I can only ever see one (with a magnifying glass, at that).

    Well the Goby has gone missing. He seemed have started to thrive but I haven't seem him in 2 days. I know I have some Brittle Stars in tank I have been blaming them since they are under the rocks that the Goby was hiding in. I still want to add 1 more fish at some point. I think a Angel fish would hold up well against the Tang. I like the flame Angels and coral Beauty's.
