I was hoping to get some money applied to the 60g setup from my boyfriend for valentines day but he wanted to buy me a new desk instead. It literally WAS falling apart but I kinda wanted to get the tank and stand soon. Oh well, looks like it won't be til the last week of February when i get money. The new desk also meant that I had to move my biocube to the spot I have reserved for the 60g. We actually pushed the cube across the pergo floors, I didn't even take any water out. lol But now I can't see the tank like I used to, the mandarin used to swim right by me, not 6 inches away.
So since I am somewhat stalled for now, at least til more goodies come next week I figured I'd throw some stocking ideas out there. This is just a practice run, I haven't totally researched each fish yet so it's my first draft pretty much. I have been thinking of moving the B&W clowns from the biocube and putting them in the 90g, not so sure i want fish that big in the 60g. LOL I also have the engineer goby that is currently in my 20g rimless. He is about 4 inches now and growing fast so i need to move him. I was thinking the 125g or the 90g, no idea which one he'd be happier in. Anyway, here is the list, it's long but these are tiny fish for the most part.
From the cube i will be taking: citron goby, blue mandarin, scooter, yellow watchman goby and a firefish.
from the 20g i will be moving: Barnacle blenny, neon goby, yellow and green clown gobies.
What I am looking at adding:
Black clown goby
Brown clown goby
Greenbanded goby
red headed goby
Hi fin banded goby
Tail spot blenny
canary blenny
black sailfin blenny.
As far as inverts I have the following already: 1 cleaner shrimp, 5 peppermints, 1 porcelain crab, a turbo snail which I will probably move to the 90g soon and misc snails and hermits. I don't plan on any snails in this tank as it's rimless and I just know I will find exploring snails on the floor. LOL
I want to add a fire shrimp and another 2 cleaner shrimp. I'll probably go with about 20 hermits and I need 2 more emerald crabs. Just found one dead in the biocube today so he definitely needs to be replaced.
Any other small or micro fish you guys can think of? I really wanted a catalina goby but they are cold water fish. other than that I think I may have them all listed. lol
