Are Goby's supposed to be bitter and anti-social?

mine is. everytime i come up to the glass he turns his back to me and uses his tail to kick up sand to me- lil punk ass!
and everytime the other fish swim near him he gets all pissy and tries to chase em off.
is this normal for them?

Most of the gobies that I have ever had, have been suicidal! They have jumped out of the tank and I have found them on the floor the next day!!

my goby is as mellow as they come. Has been kept with sharks and did fine, and doesn't bother any of my tame little guys. But they all have different attitudes, just like people.

cracks me up. Our first clown was the sweetest thing when we got him. Then he/she got really big and very mean. When cleaning etc. in tank, it always tried several times to take a chunk out of our arm. It finally got too mean and agressive (we have a fairly tame tank) we gave him to a friend of ours with a 125. And would you believe he tried to run some tangs around. After a few days that mean dog ran back to his porch. :D He just hangs with his anemone now. ;)
If you get the web cam up, that would be a hoot to see.

My watchman goby is anti social. He stays in his borrow and opens his mouth wide when someone gets too close. Still cool to watch.
