    I am literally as we speak watching him tear the chromis to pieces. My digi-corder died so sorry for no video. I have NEVER seen an EG act like this.

    He looks exactly like that. You can see a quick clear glimpse of him in the first video i linked above.

    if he did in fact actually try to go after them i would get rid of him and get another one, maybe you got a goby that thinks he's an eel :laughing0

    Okay, I know I already talked about this problem, but now my engineering goby has killed his fourth chromis. I have NO F****NG CLUE how or why he is doing this, but it seems that every night my poor green chromis go to sleep, my goby tries to get a midnight snack... There are only the chromis and the engineering goby in the tank. Unless my turbo snails are playing transformers and morphing into lionfish, I have no idea whats going on.
    In a way, I am not too mad b/c the chromis were only needed to start the cycle weeks ago.

    BTW, when the goby does come out to play and swim he cares nothing at all about the chromis swimming around him.

    maybe something else is in your tank you dont know about, and he is taking the blame??? that still sounds iffy.
