Jumping Issues w/ Dargon or Violet Gobies2007-11-24 23:37:57

I have found that I had to create a secure cover because my Dargon Gobie Has a Habbit of jumping out of the the water. Why I don't Know , but I have noticed it is happens more often when the weather is pre-stormy.

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this strange habit.

Thanks

Egg crate (sold at large hardware stores to diffract the light from florescent lights in buildings) can be an extremely cheap aquarium lid.

He is probably figuring that the rain will provide a better puddle for him to live in. Are you using freshwater salt for him? You may want to consider marine salt as it will do a much better job of maintaining the water hardness, alkalinity and pH.
