Most of you know that we have a huge football size derasa clam (if you didn't-come see it).  We bought a neon goby a couple of weeks ago.  It decided to live on top of the clam and nip at it.  My family came for Easter and said "what's up with the clam?"  (I didn't even think they noticed!)

 
So...the goby is now in the nano.  We have NEVER had luck with gobies.  This is the third species type we have had to remove from our tank.
 
FYI - if you have a clam and want it to live, don't get a neon goby!

I had no idea they didn't get along with clams. Has anyone else had this experience?

If any of you want to get rid or your neons, I have been looking for one or two and I don't have a clam for them to harass...

It's in my nano now where there are no clams.  Adam, thanks for offering to take it off my hands.  We found ours at Petco in Bountiful for $10.
