+mcallahan Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 is he in the same tank with your lion fish? If so, you don't need to feed your lionfish for a couple of days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 They will create a burrow in the sand bed where they can retreat to at night or at signs of danger. So if he is in the tank with the Lionfish. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart032 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 when i got my pink spotted i didnt see him for a couple days till i fed the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Mine started digging when I first got him and i was afraid a rock shifted and crushed him. Then he started appearing on rare occasions, hiding when he saw me. Now he's out almost all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 That carpet nem made you hard Mark. I've seen nature rip away lives in a dime. I've seen families of fish in a tank destroyed in seconds. Time wears on a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiLS Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) try feeding the tank.. see if he comes out fed the tank today and he hasnt came out at all only the other goby, and i know he didnt jump out cuase i dont see em, so im guessing he dug a wrong area and a rock crushed him but none of my rocks seem like theyved moved dang i liked him alot too Edited July 18, 2009 by LiLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a new name for this board please. We all have a sense of humor but I have to agree. Since your new to the forum and you say "You're his friend".... make it aware that it was meant as a joke.
