I have had a yellow headed jawfish and a ywg in my aquarium for a while. They both set up burrows on the same side of the aquarium about 8 - 10 inches apart. Both are very docile and friendly fish. Well I woke up this moring and found my jawfish in the ywg's burrow. I thought oh crap the jawfish which is probably 3 times the size of the ywg beat him up and took his burrow. Now the goby is hiding somewhere in the back hurt and homeless. But as it turns out this is not the case. I kept checking the aqaurium because of this odd happening and actually found 4 eyes staring at me out of the burrow. Then both the ywg and the jawfish came out and are actually sharing the burrow. Now I find this bizarre as my ywg flips out anytime any other fish goes near his burrow. But, as of now both are actually peacefully co-existing in the same hole. I will try to post picks later, but has anyone ever had this happen before.

maybe the YWG figured if you cant beat 'em join 'em :D thats pretty unusual. my pinkspotted goby will only run out my coral beauty from his cave. any other fish, or invert is a welcome guest in there but not the CB. gobies seem to be strange creatures LOL i guess thats what makes them so enjoyable in the tank.
