Recently got a blue cheek goby. Had one in my previous 4 foot tank for a couple of years and it dis a great job of keeping the sand turned over and got on with everyone fine. In my RSM 130D its getting nipped by the larger of my two clowns and chased by the red spot blenny. Seema un damaged but can't imagine itll be to impressed. Thought all the fish i had were pretty peaceful. Any onw had this with these fish before?

Thanks

My clowns are jerks, especially the female. Nips at my Springeri Damsel all the time, but the damsel is quicker and more agile. I'm setting up a bigger tank now, still not 100% these clowns will make it into the new tank...
 
Their growing at an alarming rate as well! Will have to keep an eye on them. They get on fine with all the other fish. Odd! Never had aggressive clowns before
 
Unfortunately the lil guy didn't make it. Can't decide if it was the clowns or the red spot blenny. Saw the goby out about an hour ago and the blenny was literally taking chunks out of his fin. So i moved him to a holding tank, Was breathing really heavily and shortly later died :( im assuming thats what happened to the disappearing chalk goby too. Had all these same fish in my 4 foot. Guess this tank just isnt big enough for everyone to get along. Hopefully no more issues, will have to invest in a different sand sifting option :(
