check out my new resident
Went to the lfs to get some snails and came out with this bad boy. God its tough going to the store and not buying anything. I hope the substarte is small enough for him to sift. I think it is though. I know it looks a lil ugly I might have a small case of cyano

its supposed to be an orange spotted goby. I think it might be a mislabeled diamond watchman since I think the eyes on the orange spotted are supposed to have black spots around it |

i met a guy that has had one in his tank for about a year and says he's been doing great. Hes the reason why I wanted a goby. So far this ones been great but hasnt really sifted anything, I figure hes still getting used to his new home. Plus he basically has to get hazed by the gang in my tank. Then theyll all be friends

another lfs mislabel 
yeah its a diamond watchman goby. ive never had either one but from what i gather the diamonds are sand sifters while the orange spots are shrimp gobies that dig a tunnel without making too much of a mess.
