Fire Goby

This is the second fire goby I've had in my tank. The first one jumped out of the tank - I came out one morning and found both my cats holding a "wake" over his lifeless body on the floor. He had jumped out the prior week, but I was near the tank and rescued him.

It was the strangest thing - I placed him back in the tank and he was in distress. The blue damsel swam over and fanned his tail very quickly in the fire goby's face - almost like he was giving him CPR. He recovered, but jumped again that fateful night when I was not there to rescue him.

This fire goby doesn't jump as much as the original one did. He is the neatest fish - his eyes follow every move you make - he is very friendly and will take food out of my hand.
