Mine loves everyone in the tank and does his own thing! They are a lot of fun to watch and have great personalities, just make sure you have all your rock FIRMLY planted....you'll understand why they're called "Engineer" | |

They are awesome fish/eel, they get along with most fish except their own kind. Becareful with any shrimps that you may have. My EG ate my paired Harlyqiun shrimps and every peppermint that I have introduced. The only shrimp he hasnt eaten(yet) is my cleaner shrimp, I guess he's too big. _________ 9YR OLD 90G/55g custom sump/refug Mag18 Aquac 180skimmer 692w MH AC jr,yel&kole tang,midas&convict blenny,B&G chromies,Blk/yel fin chromie blackcap,nemo,neon goby,6line; Blastomussa Merleti,Acan ,BUBBLE,Torch,LTA, Acropora(2) Moon, assort zoas, yel& G star polyps, P&B ricordia, montiporas, cup&candy corals, xenias,B/G mush,flower ane(2), cherry red mussa, dusters,cleaning crew..  | |

My engineer has never bothered anyone in my tank I think he is great make sure you get some food down to his hole so he will come out to eat and like the other guy said make sure your rock is down to the glass because they love to dig like crazy all the live long day. |

I love my Engineer goby a interesting member of my reef for sure he has mad a huge network of tunnels in my deep sand bed. Also the symbiotic relationship between the engineer and the pistol shrimp is really cool to see they bot share the same home too.
