I have a high-fin red-banded goby that seems to go thru strange fits of madness. It usually stays in or near its pistol shrimp burrow, but every few weeks, for a few days it stops eating, acts drunk and swims like crazy around the tank, sometimes ending up in a filter chamber. Every time it happens, I usually give it up for dead and wait for the inevitable, but somehow it finds its way back to the burrow, disappears for a while and then shows up just as healthy and hungry as ever. I have never seen any sign of parasites or disease, just some thinning out. Any ideas?
