Got a few new fish today from Tri-Mar (thanks Monty)!!

First up is a Greenbanded Goby (Gobiosoma multifaciatum), three pics of this little fella.

Here he is still in the bag warming up after the trip from Cornwall. (The red is a bit of cyano on the outside of the bag.)

The next one was listed as a Firecracker Gobie but I couldn't find anything on the web about him. Having had a look at this photo of him in the bag I think he is a Green Clown Goby (Gobiodon atrangulatus).

Whatever he is I love the colouration.

Also got two new clowns and some FW shellies, pics to follow.

Cheers, Eddie

Those two are quite the lookers! I like the way that gobies are shaped and how they move.

Mmmm - nice. Sounds like a red striped gobie (Eviota sp.). Fairly rare find apparently. They are gorgeous and I was very tempted to get one of them.

Whereabouts did you see it as they obviously have good fish stocks?

Cheers, Eddie

Eddie -- It was @ Dobbies Garden Centre in Atherstone.

Marine Section was Amazing, Tons Of different Fish. Tangs, Clowns, Shrimp, Anglers, Gobies, Butterflys, Eels, Dogfish, Huge Coral/Anenome Tank, Starfish, Cucumbers, Slugs, Rass', Pipefish, and Many More.

They had 1's that looked like tiny black and white clowns.
