    I am thinking about getting a Yellow Watchman Goby.
    Are they easy to keep?
    Do they jump?
    Are they finicky eater's?
    I have a crushed coral substrate would that be okay for him?
    How big do they get?
    You have a pic of yours?
    thnx

    Great fish, only thing to keep in mind is that they will burrow under rocks, so the rocks need to be secure.

    Crushed coral may be bad... it wont sift
    I had an orange spot in crushed coral.. stayed fairly skinny.. ate frozen.. when I had my ammonia issue it was the first to go b/c it was weak

    Needs sand substrate. I owned one for about 2 months. Jumped out of the tank....Luckily I was right there that time and scooped him up and he jumped into the overflow nighty. Then his tail got sucked into the overflow and damaged it. Then he died without a tail....

    Awesome fish though. I can promise you that it will jump out if the tank and overflow aren't covered. Considering they eat anything from flakes to pellets to meaty shrimp, you would be able to keep him alive, but he won't be very happy without being able to sift and burrow.
