Hi guys,
First of all, I hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you a happy and healthy 2014 for you and your wet pets.
Went to the LFS today with my brother, who is over from China for the holidays, and he bought me my Christmas present
. He's a very lovely brother, and we came back with a huge feather duster, who I'd had my eye on last time, but my salinity had got a bit too high and they wanted me to get it down before getting anything new. It's fine now. Most excitingly, I have got a goby and lobster pair.
The lobster has made himself right at home. We had to go out almost as soon as I'd acclimatised and released them, but by the time we came home, he'd made himself a burrow under a rock (obligingly) right at the front of the tank, with two entrances/exits and deposited a heap of sand in the middle of the 'beach' in the middle.
The goby, however, was hugging the grill that leads to the compartment that contains the heater. And now he is in it. I assume if he got in, he can get out, but since the Royal Gramma is also a slim fish and I lost him after a week and never saw him again, I'm a tad concerned. I've made a few half-hearted efforts to get him out, but I don't want to stress him, particularly if he's just going to go right back in again.
Do I need to worry?
They were a symbiotic pair in the LFS.
Thanks in advance.
