Adventure Of A Red Stripe Goby!

[Matthew5664]

Well the little so and so I thought was dead in a cave in of his hole until the pistol shrimp dug his way out. However with no sign of Goby I was still very worried, kept an eye out but still nothing. 3 Days went past and still nothing now I have given up hope. Then just before I left to go to the Isle of Wight I found him! In the return chamber of the sump! He would have had to get over the other side of the tank where he never goes in down the weir through a ball valve and into a micron bag full of carbon. Chewed his way out and into the first sump chamber missing the input to the skimmer! Through one set of baffles across the fugue through another set of baffles and then miss the input of the return pump! What a day the little fella had! Then to top it off he had to starve for two days before being chased around by a net, finely to be reunited with his good friend shrimpy.


They are back together now happy as pigs in the proverbial

I did think it was funny that the micron bag had a hole in it! And now I know why!!

My sandsifter did the same thing Matt. Somehow ended up in the sump... I've got an even more elaborate series of events mine would have had to go through cause of all the eggcrate I use. I still dont have a clue how he got into the refugium, but there he is. Happily munchin away on sand underneath all my cheato

Glad you found yours too

My only experience was a while ago with a FireFish.

I was doing a water change at the time, I was in the kitchen & heard a plop, initially I thought it was my Puppy as when I went into the living room he was looking into the container that holds my Freshly Salted RO, when I looked into the container, thinking he dropped something into it, there was one of my Firefish, he must have jumped out the tank & landed in the conatiner, lucky little toe-rag as my puppy would have ate him given 'alf a chance

I check for parachutes but couldnt see any must have been a suicide attempt
