I purchased a yellow watchman goby a week ago and he kept jumping out of the tank. He did it once during the day and three times during the night. I ended up putting syran wrap over the top of my tank during the nights to prevent it, but unfortunately I came home after work today to find him all dried out.
No one in the tank was harassing him or even looking at him funny. I did have the lid of the tank on, but the tank I have is a rimless design and the lid has about a 1/4 -1/3 inch gap around the edges, as it sits on inserts around the top of the tank. Does anyone have any past experience with this kind of thing from a watchman goby? I'd hate to get another only to find it's something they are prone to. And if they are, does anyone have any suggestions for another small bottom dwelling fish? Thanks!
