Diamond back gobie
Well,
Track record was perfect for never losing a fish since starting my reef tank in December 2006. One of my favorites stayed under his rock for most of a week. He came out emancipated and eyes glassed over. I noticed even when healthy a month or two ago that as I spot feed and drop pellets right in front of him that he was somehow losing sight? Do diamond back gobies have poor sight ? How long does this species survive in aquaria? Where does 3.5 years fall in the spectrum? I've moved to my refugium as I just can't flush while still alive.

That seems like a pretty great record to me. Not sure how long that fish can be expected to live in captivity. However, if you haven't lost a fish since starting your tank 3.5 years ago, you are certainly doing something right!
Where are you sourcing your fish? Do you put all fish through quarantine? |
