Default Found Missing Goby.

So I found my little yellow Goby that went missing about 2 months ago. I was working on my tank and decided to do a slight modification on my wet/dry filter. I removed the skimmer and heater and was just getting around to putting it back when I noticed a slight movement and 2 little eyes looking at me..Little bugger was in the wet/dry..Grabbed a small net and scooped him out and placed him back in the tank. Can't figure out how he made it for so long in there.No light, no regular food, no hope of escape."Poor little Bugga"
So I have now put in some filter media in my overflow to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

"Poor little Bugga"

It's amazing what they can survive on if anything. Great story with a happy ending. Thanx

Be careful with that if it plugs up it will overflow.

I had a missing neon goby for probably 3 months. I found it in my overflow box when I was redoing my return. I'm sure glad I like to tinker with my system!

Default Son of a ........

So I returned the little Bugga back to the tank. I get up this morning and go to look for him and there is a little carcass on the floor. The little guy found the only opening and went through it. Maybe his new found freedom was too much to take...Stupid Fish.
