One of these guys is really beating up on the other. He's very aggressive towards it. I can't move him yet either as he would be lunch in one of the other tanks.. My last one wasn't aggressive at all, I guess it's only towards the same species?
Show me your gobies!

I too had a goby for quite some time. He never got any wider then a pencil and only about 1.5" long. One day he just disappeared. I think that the tinfoils finially got him!
Gobies are awesome and seem to take a genuine interest in what's going on outside the tank. It is so cool to see them prop up on their fins and check you out! They can be lightning fast and love to hang out in the plants. They will also eat food whole that seems WAY too big. There seem to be alot of different types out there too, and exist in fresh, brackish, and salt water.
Sorry the picture is so bad, but this was actually a picture of the entire tank. I just cropped the rest of it out. By the date of the photo, this was over a year ago. I hadn't realized that he had been gone so long...
That's a darter, Etheostoma sp., not a goby, though they do resemble them.
