Grr, the shrimp is backordered. I wonder if it will still pair with the yellow watchman goby if not introduced at the same time?

Ya dont worry it should. Just drop him infront of the gobys cave and you should be fine

 

[scottayy]

Okay thanks. In that case I'm going to get the snapping shrimp instead of the red banded snapping shrimp. If they will let me.

 

[scottayy]

Livestock!

gotta look close for this one

 

[needmorecowbell]

great!!! i love the goby lol

 

[scottayy]

lol yeah he's so cute
he keeps going behind the rocks where i can see his tail only and i keep thinking he's dead

 

[needmorecowbell]

theyre hardy, i think youll be fine. they come out within a week. my blenny came out the 2nd day and was sucking up all my pods lol

 

[TigerBarbs]

Are gobies active?

 

[scottayy]

All three of them are gobies.
The firefish is pretty active and has been out on display all day.
The watchman goby has been pretty active, but likes to sit on the sand or rocks.
The clown goby has hidden all day, but from what I've seen at pet stores they like to sit or hover around rocks or the sand.

 

[TigerBarbs]

Forgot that firefish are gobies lol. I'm sure the clown goby will come out once he settles in

These dwarf ceriths are killing my diatoms! It's amazing what they've done in one night.

I added
20 x dwarf ceriths
2 x ceriths
2 x nerites
1 x red legged hermit crab

 

[needmorecowbell]

lol i have about 200 now. just got them today. its pretty scary. i only asked for 20 ceriths.

 

[TigerBarbs]

Are they eating your sand diatoms too?

 

[needmorecowbell]

I dont have diatoms, they are nibbling on cyano though..

 

[scottayy]

They are eating my sand diatoms yes. Either that or they're churning the sand so I can't see it lol.

 

[TigerBarbs]

O okay lol sounds like nassarius haha

Well just decided to top this thread off for a while with a couple macro shots and a full tank shot.

I won't be able to afford a lighting upgrade and corals until after april when I pay my taxes.

Not bad macro shots for a cell phone camera on auto settings lol.

 

[TigerBarbs]

Cool tank!! That yellow watchman is a cool brownish color with nice blue spots!

 

[needmorecowbell]

If I ever get the chance, I'm going to get that goby from somewhere. It's just such a cool looking fish lol. No room as of now though :/
