Well most likely it went down the overflows, and it thought the skimmer intake was a cave. Dumb move in his part. CHOP CHOP!

i gave up on gobies early on in this hobby.

I had a couple nice high fin ones that jumped through my BRS 1/4" netting that covered my tank. Two $45 gobies lost within 2 days of owning them.

I agree.. Said to the wife last night, I give up on ALL small fish, too much money lost when they just dissappear. Very expensive wrasses, just gone, and others that are able to swim through the egg crate barrier I have on the overflows.

Never had a problem with bigger species, glad I have a big tank for them! So will have to stick with that.

I ended up using matala filtration media after seeing an expensive blenny attempt to go sumpster diving. Way better than egg crate.

Oh man that's awful Poor thing and sorry for your loss.

I'm amazed at the loyalty you've shown to that skimmer though ... I'd have given up on it long ago!

That's some pretty damn good aim to jump through that.
