I didn't think that neon gobies were burrowers but...apparently this one thinks he is..
So today i glanced over at my little pico tank and saw all of this sand falling from the sky it looked like so I started watching, and I am observing my blue neon goby picking up small mouthfuls of sand and spitting them out in a different part of the tank. It seems to be cphollowing out a little crevice between the Galaxea and a rock, where she likes to perch and rest. After he spits out the sand I can still see a few grains of sand in gills and mouth until he spits out another batch, or until after a while later. It's really annoying haha, he's spewing his sand all over the place, on my corals and everything
But aanyway, is this normal behavior? I've had the goby for around a year and have never seen anything like this before... What's up? He only theory that we could think of is that he is a she and is wanting to make a nest., or something along the line of that.
Any help?
Thanks!!
