Default Goby gone under???
I've had a goby for over a year now, and he was just fine and healthy looking on Saturday. But since I did my weekly water change on Sunday, he's been awol. Anyone have a hopeful words like this isn't abnormal, or mine's done that too? I'm hoping he just went under for a few days and will pop up soon, but....

Couple questions, do you turn off the powerheads during water changes? And, do you have any brittle sea stars? If they get too hungry, they'll go after slow fish.

Let us know when he pops up, hopefully still kicking!

Yes, always turn the powerheads off. I do have a Linkia Star but no others.

why does it matter if powerheads are running when doing water change?
