Thoughts on Engineer Goby
| General |
Great beginner fish that you will not grow tired of. The morphing of its lines as it matures is breathe taking everytime my gobies came out of thier burrow me and my wife rushed to look @ thier new lines(as they mature they line on thier body change). They start small but grow quite large with in 3 months mine grew nearly 2-3 inches give or take. |

Sand shifting abilities. The "aww" experince when you see it appear. Will except any food you throw at it. Will eat pellets, krill, mysis shrimp, and chopped sea food. If you introduce they will eat it.

The miner Goby
| General |
This is a very attractive fish that grows fast. You will not see him much if you have deep substrate and alot of rock and coral. When he does come out it is an impressive show, he will spit out your substrate and literally move large shells and small rocks around. I have never seen mine eat and he has doubled in size in the two months that I have had him. very rarely do you see his whole body. The tunnels he creates are both neat to see but makes it difficult if you have to move anything because you are never sure where he is and you do not want to trap him under anything. The Engineer Goby has become a favorite in my tank. He is miked with a spotted Hawk, Ocellaris clown, Foxface, Spinny box puffer, Damsel's, Blue Chromis, Keyhole Angel and a Scopas Tang. Overall this is a good fish. |
