    i was thinking about getting one of these guys too! But i still havent made the decision yet... i am worried about all the people i have heard who say they are nocturnal! Is it still able to feed and get the nutrients it needs to survive? some people have said they are shy for like the first 3 to 4 days and then others say they stay nocturnal... is it a hit or miss kinda thing? let us know how it goes with it ingtar_shinowa!! ;D

    Personally i though he was dead lol. He didnt look too skinny last night but then again i tried to target feed him and he didnt go for the food. I figure he is eating pods anyway. Ill update you in 2 weeks when next i spy upon him lol

    UPDATE He was out swimming around a bit today, my female unit spotted him and he was out for about an hour, very wary of the yellow tail but couldnt get any food to him

    This discribes my yellow clown goby "Willie" to the "T"! One of my favorite fish. He even likes the flakes I feed when I'm in a hurry

    that is definitely good news to hear! hopefully you will be able to get him to eat soon! do you soak your fish food in any type of garlic or garlic based additives? This might entice him to come out to eat sooner! I personally use garlic guard...
