I must be a gluttin for punishment. Looseing 1 goby wasn't enough, I wanted one in my tank. I went to Home Depot and purchased the white plastic grate for the top of my tank. Fitted it - and about 4/5 days later I purchased a second goby. Well, this weekend I come home from the fish store and there in front of the tank on the floor is the second goby. The holes are small, the grate feels too heavy. Can not believe it could get out by the little opening where the wire for my powerheads are.
I was told I do not need to place a glass top on my 90 gal tank.
So, yesterday I went back to Home Depot and we purchased a metal screen wire, with very small holes. My husband is going to build a frame for it to fit around the top of the tank.
Maybe I'm not ment to have a goby.
