Fish of the Week... small gobies (Trimma, Eviota, Priolepis etc)!
- Thread starter gregr
- Start date
Hey, just a newbie here!
I have a Yellow Watchman that I wanted to get paired up with my pistol shrimp. They may be from different regions, as they don't seem to want to hang out together...they are oblivious to each other. They are both still very cool seperately. The Watchman is only about 2" long and he enjoys tasting the sand and digging little holes for himself.
When I brough the Watchman home, he was a beautiful bright yellow...as seen here:
Then as time wore on...he changed color...to this...
I'm not sure of an explanation for this...I've been told that maybe the Red Fairy Wrasse pestering him may have made him turn to female...if this is even possible.
Figured this would be an interesting addition to this "little gobies" thread!
Sorry my pix aren't working...I can't quite figure out why???!!! Anyone got suggestions?

Gary,
which fish is that on the first picture with the Alpheus randalli? Looks very small and I am not sure what it is. Amblyeleotris?

I'm not quite sure what the fish is, Peter. I agree that it seems to be some type of Amblyeleotris.

There are a fes more in Singapore who keep them. BTW I don't spot the Alpheus randalli burrow on your pics? You are aware that this goby lives only with the Alpheus?
