Yashi Hashi Goby

[Guest Undercoverdork]

I bought a Yashi Hashi goby from fins and feathers 3 weeks ago. i read that they will hide for a long time.

Do you own one? if so can you tell me about you experence?

What a cool fish it is, but i wish he would show his face! I hope he is ok...

I have one. They do tend to hide alot, mine did when I fist got it. How big of a tank is it in?

He is in my 20g tall. I think he might have paired up with my pistol shrimp, but not too sure. When i dropped him in the tank he went to the exact spot my pistol has caves. I just hope he is eating the food i put in. do they eat pods?? cause i have a million of thoes in my tank

I'm a fan of the store, no matter how many Seans are there, but I had bad luck with the Yashia\Pistol combo I bought. The Shrimp never came out, no matter how hard I tried to feed it, and I found it dead, lasted about two weeks.

The yashia was incredible, and made my wife decide she liked the whole fish thing, even doing the daily feedings in the nano where it was. It would stick its head out of a small rock cave it made, and chase down pellets or mysis when dropped in.

Sadly, it disappeared and I found it a few days later behind the tank stand. Somehow it had jumped through egg crate and onto the floor to some kind of death. At least I know I don't have mice in the basement I guess. He\she is on the right, in her cave.

 

 

If you haven't seen them in a few days, and food doesn't lure them out, I would shake up the aquascaping, to make sure it is moving around and OK. I paid $50 for one month's rent on that combo.

When I got my orange banded prawn goby... roughly the same size and type of fish I didn't see him for oh a good week and a half, and now I only very rarely catch a glimpse of it. This being in a 55 gal with 100 + lbs of LR.
