LOL im assuming there was suppose to be commas in between them? if not then you just made a superfish lol. Anyway, im thinking 2 banggai cardinals or a flasher wrasse. anyone have any other suggestions?

 

[Swimzebras]

Yes to the commas, not sure what happened. Love flasher wrasses, they're so colorful! But two bangaiis may be too few , I think they need larger groups.

 

[classklown90]

they are happier in groups yes but a mated pair will do fine. yea i know i love flashers too, very cool

 

[Swimzebras]

Oh I didn't know that about pairs. How will you find one though? I've never seen a pair before...

 

[classklown90]

ive seen em around me, not aot but i have

 

[Swimzebras]

Oh! Great then! I'd still go fror the flasher wrass though, much more active...

 

[classklown90]

whichever i find first! haha im focused on corals tho, i have nearly none in there

 

[Swimzebras]

Sounds good! Standing by for pics

small update

first coral in the tank(besides a small shroom) beautiful toadstool leather

 

[iDream]

Nice! I plan on getting one eventually, gotta get it small so it doesn't cover any other corals for light

 

[classklown90]

yea I reccomend it, very cool looking

 

[classklown90]

saw some corals at lfs that i liked and they are having a 15% off weekend. I was just wondering which ones I can and cannot keep under this lighting.

purple plate coral(short tentacle)
trumpet coral
green lobo
red lobo
Galaxia
Acan
colt? i think

 

[Gregcoyote]

The Glaxian coral will burn everything around it. The trumpet coral needs lots of light. The colt coral is easy to keep, but give little warning if water quality isn't making it happy. No idea about the others.

okay thanks

In case you are still looking for a goby that likes to dig holes, you might think of a Diamond Watchman Goby. I have one and it is fun to watch him keep his area just the way he likes it. He has a cave that is his, and he keeps the entrance covered up with sand so only he can get in. When my small hermits get too close to his cave they get a free ride in his mouth to the other end of the tank. It's great.

 

[Gregcoyote]

One of my favorite all time fishes. Buy some shrimp pellets that sink to the bottom of the tank...they love them.

 

[MBliss81]

Thanks Greg. I'll have to get some as a treat for him.

 

[classklown90]

Haha ill have to check him out! I have the pellets already too. Will he fight with my two spot goby??

 

[Gregcoyote]

Good question, my tank is big enough to prevent some of those wars. Usually these fish just threaten each other by who's mouth can get biggest.

 

[MBliss81]

They are only supposed to have problems with other fish of the same species. I don't know if that would mean all gobies, or just other diamond watchman gobies. I'm sure it depends on how much space they have in the tank.
