Crazy Yellow Watchman Goby turn White Striped??

life135 · 02/04/2009, 10:41 AM

I had a pair of Watchmen Gobys white w/ striped and blue spots on there face for about 3 years fat and healthy. One died when I moved about 6 months ago. I guess he got stress with the move, the only fish I lost. However I was on RC and I seen someone's thread with a frag and there was a Yellow Watchman Goby. I was like I have to have one, he looked so cool. So I go to the LFS FishMax that I always buy from. Because I can get it straight from the wholesalers and he will not put the fish in his system. Leaves it in the bag so that I can pick up. Yellow Watchman does great eating every thing and getting along great with the White w/ striped one I have had for ever. They even hide in the same hole they looked cool together. One yellow and one white hanging out. Had it now for about 3 weeks guess what color he is now? "WHITE" What happened?

i think one is a male and one is a female. i have been reading about these fish because i want to get one. i know one turns light in color when the mate up or are going to make some babies... i was reading a thread from somone who was breeding them by the name of nicolec i think that was the user name. anyhow i did a search on yellow watchman gobies and lots of things came up..
