    I believe its yellow watchman goby that is stuck in the 3rd chamber of biocube, because I have all 3 fish in my display section. Anyway trying to catch it with my hand for 2 hours have failed, and net dosnt fit, and I tried to suck it out with air hose but also have failed, and my final move was 3reef.

    What can I do to get that thing out of there?

    This might be a bad idea but you could drain the chamber all the way or almost all the way that might make him easier to grab.

    I thought of that, but its impossible to drain the chambers with water in display tank, I may need to take out all the water? Unless if there is any other way.

    Do you think he will be safe in there for couple of hours? Im at my work now, and wont be off for like another 4 hour, including buying the net time and such.

    yup, he'll wait.

    I had a false perc disappear ... assumed he just got eaten, or died ... like 3 weeks later found him in the skimmer chamber of my sump, just hanging out lol.

    good luck!

    LOL

    I had a cardinal that lived his whole life in my overflow and a psuedochromis that lived in my sump. He's fine.

    arg i was so close to catching the yellow watchman with my small new net i bought. But suddenly it dissapeared? Now Im flash lighting the whole tank and been looking in display tank with 100% rocks all in bucket, and chceked the floor, but no sign of watchman. Can yellow watchman teleport? =p

    I guess i just gotta wait....arg..this is such a pain..is there an item or something i can do, to cut off the display and filter area? like block?
    Im so pissed biocube didnt think about this problem! curse you biocube!!!
