My harlequin tusk, Raymond, is an otherwise very mild mannered and even clumsy fish. But he seems to have a thing for diamond gobies. When I first got him and added him to my 260 FOWLR that had a diamond goby already in it, all was well for several months until one morning my daughter woke up to find poor old Gus the Goby in the process of being swallowed by old Ray Ray. I decided it might not have been Raymond's fault because I had been feeding fairly sparingly and he was probably hungry. So for the last year-plus I have been feeding my fish generously and despite a heavy stocking level, I really haven't had any aggression or other issues, especially not involving Raymond. Several months ago I added another diamond goby to help turn over the sand and keep it clean.
Recently, I decided to try to cut back on the feeding slightly to keep nitrates from getting out of control. Well, yesterday ol Raymond had a relapse:
If he weren't so darn handsome I'd be really upset, but good looks will get you everywhere.
I might need to find a new way to keep my sandbed clean.
