    Default Neon Goby

    I picked up one of these guys Saturday, acclimitised him as usual (float 20 mins, add a cup of water every 5 mins x 3 ) then net into tank.

    I saw him that night hovering around my pump under the rockwork and have not seem him since.

    Are they shy, or has something nasty happened to him?

    regards,

    Greg

    I wouldn't bank on seeing him again Greg, only fleeting glances as you catch him whizz behind some rock.

    They are a small shy fish, and in a tank your size will probably never be sat out on show.

    Never know though, you may get lucky.

    as stated they are a shy fish so you might only see glances of him among the rockwork if at all.derek
