What to do with Diamond Goby just gotten out of tank.

[MichaelFreedman]

Saw an opportunity to get the Diamond Goby out of my tank and took it. Did a fantastic job cleaning the sand, but am afraid mandarins will starve. My problem is that I have nothing I can do with him till tomorrow afternoon. What can I do till tomorrow afternoon without putting him back in a tank.

cant put him in the sump? refugium?5 gallon bucket with a PH and heater? ect..??

You should be able to float it in a bag as long as there is ample room for gas exchange. They go through alot worse when being shipped. Just don't turn the lights on or you will cook it.

do you have anything you can make a in tank holding cage with? even a small plastic container that you can cut holes all through so it still has water movement

 

[MichaelFreedman]

I do have a container I can put in my sump, I was worried that there wouldnt be enough water flow though... do you think it will be ok till tomrrow afternoon.... anyone looking for one of these?

I'd take him.

You can get one of those hang-on net breeders and cover it with a large media bag. They're about 4wx4hx6L".
Minus the media bag, that's what I used to house a pair of shrimp for a few weeks until I found a place for them. Works like a charm.

PS. You can also use this if you're doing a pooled order and someone can't pickup their livestock the same day.

>anyone looking for one of these?<

I'd take him to if you deliver to Wakefield. PM me. I have a tank with a huge sand bed that he'd have a ball with.

Sorry I didnt read these last night. Anyone have something neat to trade that can pick it up in Stow tonight?

Why would a diamond goby compete with mandarin? Does it eat pods by shifting the sand? I thought pods mostly live in LR

 

[Scott G]

I have hundreds of pods living under one of my anemones
