    I bought a yellow watchman goby/tiger pistol pair, no signs of the pistol anywhere. Watchman is now the biggest (in length) in the tank. Has only shown aggression toward shark nose cleaner goby while feeding. Should I be worried?

    how big is your tank, how long has your tank been up and have you checked outside of the tank for your other goby. I have had a couple gobys commit suicide by jumping out of the tank, there might not b enough pods in your tank

    No carpet surfing yet. I have a lid that covers most of the top. Tank is 20 gallon long, its been up for probably 3 months now.

    UPDATE: Goby is great, pistol is alive and well. Goby is territorial, which I'm told is normal. So I think I'm safe!
