Problem resolved itself, thanks anyway. Dini is doing good, I guess it just took a couple days for the water to be up to his standards.

I have a violet Goby who is typically very calm and usually hangs out on the bottom of the tank. However, lately he's been swimming back and forth across the tank, going to the bottom and then coming back up in a circular pattern.   I've added prime to the water, and stress guard, and his SG is...

Hi everyone, newbie fish owner here.  Several months ago, I rescued my violet goby Houdini from his previous home (which was horrible). He's been doing much better since then, though I had him living on gravel for a few months. Finally, I was able to change the gravel and get him some sand. I...

Hi everyone, I've posted here a few times and have yet another question.    Currently, my violet goby that I rescued a few months ago is doing a billion times better than he was when I rescued him. He has been living on a gravel substrate, which I know is not ideal, so I'd like to switch it to...

He did well! He's back in his tank now and doing fine. :) when I traveled with him, every time we made a stop I untied the bag and refilled it with new air. Probably unnecessary, but it made me feel better lol.

Wish me luck guys, I followed all of your directions. Houdini is in a large bag meant for fish, the water in it has been treated and it's the right SG as well. I have a bit over half filled with air. He's in the dark and I have the bag in a bowl with some padding so he doesn't get too jostled...

By then I'll be out of school, so it won't be an issue. I only have 1 year left of school, and I plan to get a tank that's nice and big to accommodate him.  This traveling thing sure is a bummer, but I'll only have to do it this year. After that, he'll never have to travel again.

Thank you! This is really helpful, I'll keep him as comfy as possible.

The summer, so about 3 months. Would I need to use brand new water, or use his tank water? He's been through a lot already, I just don't want to stress him too much. So you think he'd be alright in a sealed container (like a bag) for 16 hours, provided there's enough air for him? I could attempt...

I'll soon be heading home from college, which is about a 16 hour drive. My LFS said that I could bag my violet goby as long as I made sure that there was enough air in the bag for him during the trip. I'm not sure I want to do that, because I think it will stress him out a lot.    If he's going...

Well, unfortunately I don't have much of a choice at this point. It's the seachem brand, same as the Prime. I do frequent water changes anyway, not to mention the fact that I've been testing the water lots and as of yet there's been no significant yoyo.    The pH wasn't really the point of this...

It's been 4 days since I posted this thread, and his tail looks exactly the same as before. Hopefully it's just coloring.

Alright, I'm now actually able to give more stats because I bought the tests.   Keep in mind this is after many water changes, so ammonia definitely was higher.   Ammonia = .25 Nitrate= about 10 Nitrite= about .5 (but he's brackish, so I think the salt helps him from being affected by this?)...
