Largest fish, in tank, hardest to see (most of the time).

The hunting pictures are amazing! I have always liked the gobys. Is that pH test bottoming out? Or do you think its a true 6.0?

you are probably familiar with Peninsula State Park. I used to catch those gobys all the time off the pier there. There would be loads of them laying on shore, as you are required to kill them. I found it interesting that native fish were not that interested in eating them. I tried using them as bait with no luck but had plenty of action on similar sized shiners.

It may be the test bottoming out, even though its the low end API test I could probably use the pH 2-5 version. The pools had a 6" layer of rotting leaves, and lots of vulture droppings, all suggesting pH may be somewhat lower.The hunting pictures are amazing! I have always liked the gobys.

The smaller shrimp are smitting
images of the parent, but almost transparent.
Again today, a face down position, but in another area of the tank, so the Goby morphed into a slightly different color scheme to better match foliage, and terrain. (maybe why it is sometimes called the "spotted Goby)
Other fish pass by within strike range, totally oblivious to the menace.

The Goby is definitely in a ambush position. This is the first time I've ever seen any species of Goby display that behavior in anyone's else aquarium.
patience may yield large rewards, although this may be too large.
Really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe one day we can expected a little video of the hunting action?
