Digger, my diamond goby died two days ago.
I have been feeding my tank just a little every day sinking pellets, I started to get some hair algae on my rock, the figi rock is okay, but the kind that looks like a pine cone I am having a booger of a time with. Usually I restrict the light for 48 hours turning it on to feed 1-2 hrs. at the most then off again. and usually the cuc takes care of the algae. So on day two I found Digger in one of his spots breathing hard, kind of floundering. I immediately tested the water, everything normal, everyone else normal. I scooped him up in a cup and to a hsp tank. and tried to offer him pellets and mysis shrimp (thawed). he of course refused to eat, I moved him for fear that he was dying and if he went deeper into one of his holes I would not be able to get him out. Digger Died a short time later.
My sand is starting to look like crap again with him gone. But I am afraid if I did something to cause his death by ignorance, I don't want it to happen again. He had been sifting sand and eating pellets. I had him for only two months, my blenny did chase him, he was thin when I bought him but he always ate. I have two stars, serpent/brittle and various snails/crabs as my cuc. tank is 28G Nano. should I avoid a Diamond Goby?
