Any weird ticks I should know about a Dragon goby? (banded sleeper goby)

[ReefsandGeeks]

I just got a dragon goby and I was wondering if there are any werid things that he does that I should know about. I have a tendancy to find out about things after I get a fish and worry aobut them. For example, when I got my foxface I hadn't read anywhere that they change colors, so I was pretty worried when I put him in my tank and he turned black and white.

Any advice or fun facts(like color changing) are apriciated.

I've had one for about a year now, and don't really notice any special activities. Although I've gone to hate the fish dumping sand everywhere!!

I don't think I'll mind the sand too much. I find it quite entertaining watching him sift sand so far.

What do you do to supliment his feeding? I got some small mysis for him and am hoping he will eat that. Do you need to bury it in the sand a bit or do you have luck with yours eating in the water column?

Also, Just curious how fast do they grow? mine is about 4 inches long now. I wanted to get the larger one at my LFS, but he seemed much more shy and didn't sift andy sand in the 10 minutes I watched him.

I don't think mine has grown too much in length since I've had him. Started about 4 inches and has maybe grown half an inch if that. I usually do feed 2-4 times a day. Takes everything from flakes, pellets and frozen. It will eat in water column as well as off the sand. Not really a demanding fish
