BLAME MEOWZER!!!!! You should be thanking me LOL
the little guy is very cute :) definitely some sort of goby....do what I said with the bowl of sand
Yes Thank you Meowzer! Yes I will do the little bowl with sand in it for the little guy. I was just shocked to see it in my tank.. I was like I didnt buy any fish tonight and I didnt put any fish in the tank. Thats the only thing that I can think happened that he went inside of the hole in the rock then the girl there was messing in the tank.. He has little blue spots on his sides and the only goby that I can find that looks like it is the Bluespotted Watchman...

It's definitely a watchmen goby and yes, he needs a bucket of sand. It's either a stressed out yellow watchmen (mine is barely yellow, more gray in color) or a blue spot watchmen, just watch over the next few days and see if the color becomes more pronounced.
YOU HAVE LIVESTOCK! WOOHOO

Yeah I am going to keep a really close eye on the little guy.. I was thinking that too about being a stressed out yellow Watchman also.. I will have to wait and see.. I was so nervous when I saw him in the tank, I went in to Research mode and went and look up many many different Gobies to see what it was.. Then I went looking at what he needs for food and then I saw about borrowing in the sand and I was like OMG there is no sand in the tank. Then I remembered reading somewhere on here in a thread that someone said put a bowl of sand in the QT tank for them.. LOL I was totally not prepared for this but I guess I will have to be...

HEY......what do you mean reading somewhere...... :(
Yes I know that you told me in a PM just now but the one I thought I read about it was a blue spotted Jaw Fish sorry Meowzer. I just remember someone talking about the bowl of sand, but I needed conformation from someone and you gave it to me.. I just didnt want to do anything wrong with the poor little guy that hitch hiked into my barren QT tank. LOL What would I do without you guys I would have been totally freaking out.. lol

it might have been me. I have QT'd three blue spot jawfish and used a tupperware container full of sand and PVC for them.
