what is it about these darn diamond gobys that make them wanna jump to there death all the time.I bought 2 at different times and each one of them leaped to there death within a day.So finally i got fed up with them and talked to the lady at my LFS and she suggested getting a dragon goby they do just as mich work but are a lil bit more fiesty so a lil harder to make them feel uncomfortable.Best purchase i have made so far.He works just as hard and gets along with all the other livestock

Good thing I read this post because I was looking at a Diamond to add to the tank. Will have to check into a Dragon.

That's the only problem with some of the fish, they all try to commit suicide. My firefish jumped out 3 times, survived the 3 times but the fourth it was a gonner. I use egg crate which helps but the firefish was tiny and did the jumping at the times I had the egg crate off for maintenance. My watchman never has tried to jump...these guys are so fun to watch.
