I have had 2 of these now and, once acclimated, both spent allot of time out in the open. I have also seen that adults can be teritorial with other gobies, and even blenies. I would say a search of your tank is in order, either to verify that they are both ok or, in the worst case, to remove a dead fish that may pollute your tank.

Good luck, I hope you just have a shy one that likes to hide.

i did a search but i could only find the one

is there a chance that he is still in hiding or do pairs usually swim together

Nobody knows how they life, mine where soemtimes together. Don't start search actions, that will only make more trouble. Get used to the fact that you only see them once every few weeks

These are the good sand-sifters right? I was thinking about getting a pair from Vivid. I read somewhere that referred to these as "shrimp gobies" that would pair with a pistol, but most references don't mention this...anyone know for sure?

you can go days without seeing them. Just let them get use to the tank.
