he everyone...I got a bonded pair of tiger gobies today thanks to lmforbis notifying me there was a pair online for sale...so anyways today I put them in my 90 gallon cube and I also have a pink spot watchman so I am trying to keep an eye on them...my pink spot has a home right in the center of the tank and my 2 tigers made a burrow on the left side of the tank about 12 inches away but clearly visible to each other...they are all fairly uncomfortable acting together so far...my pink spot comes out of his home and opens his mouth real big at the tigers and once in a while scurries after them but doesn't really give chase...I realize there is a risk with these two types of fish but since I am keeping an eye on them I am giving it a shot...I guess I just am not sure if this is your normal everyday adding a new fish and other fish doing there "lemme check this new guy out for a day or so" problem is the tigers are a little spendy and I don't wanna wait until its to late and have one die...I don't mind taking out the watchman if I have to because he was kind of a mistake anyways...

anyways just wanted to share that I got a couple new fish and maybe what your opinions are thanks:D

I now put a rock wall/fence in between them so they don't have to stare at each other at least lol

I will post a pic in a bit here...my little tiger is hiding in the burrow that the 2 of them made and is a little afraid to come out with the other guy lurking around...

but yeah its not like the watchman is chasing them all over the tank...u can tell theres tension in the tank though...the tigers have stopped sifting and are a little paranoid lol...I will keep an eye on all of it and post a pic in a bit after I eat...

forbis...do they offer the same warranty where I got these as the other part of the website does? I mean obviously they can't replace it because there aren't anymore...

Horrible pic but the little one still will not come out of hiding...I just hope they will be ok overnight while the lights are out :(...I really can't see the watchman chasing them all over the tank during the night...considering it's not like he is out patrolling the tank right now looking for them...it's only if they come within sight...image.jpeg

Once the lights are out they will all bed down in their hidey holes. They may forget they have a problem by morning.

yeah I just have all the curtains in the living room open so when the sun goes down it slowly gets dark instead of my tank light just going black and the new guys not knowing what the hell to do lol

well that didn't last long....found them both on the floor dead this morning...I guess this is why you don't use egg crate...I can not believe this happened they were happy as ever when I went to sleep sifting away together and showed no signs of wanting to get out of the tank...the only thing that comes to mind is the watchman possibly chased them around until they jumped through one of the crate holes...such a shame ive been waiting for these fish to come along for a long time now :(
