My Mandarin goby likes to hop over the black wall of my NC 24 into the overflow/filter area. I've tried using plastic cloth over back and nothing keeps that fish in the main display! Well, tonight I fished him out of the overflow and when I put my hand into the main tank to let him go guess what! My neon goby, who has been missing for ~a month, was also in my hand! I thought for sure that little guy was a goner! My little goby is my second favorite fish in the tank (next to the black clown that I've had for 2+ years) and I was sad he was gone. I'm thrilled to see that he's back! :D Just had to share my enthusiasm :lol:

I would refer you to Live Aquaria, but they don't have them in stock. I'll be buying another one for in my pico tank, but trying to find one may prove impossible :(

SWF has them in stock for $16 for a group of two-cheap shipping as well. If someone was interested in a small group buy of these, I would be interested.

I'll need one in about 2 weeks if someone can wait till then and hold the goby until a Friday so that I could pick it up on my way home from Mizzou.

they would have to move quick I feed mysis that big to my copperband and fat Clarkii Clowns. One of my Clarkiis found my new pistol shrimp about 1/2 inch had it in his mouth was like watching a 10 dollar bill being eatten by a dog. The thing lived don't know what a gobies fate would be?
