Meet the gang...a prickle face lime green coral goby and a black coral goby

Tequila - so called because he's lime coloured and there's salt involved - I could call him Jose (Cuervo Gold is the best YUM YUM)

See his desperate dan chin stubble?!

Darth

he's hiding under the heater at the mo

FTS

I've just laid the moonlight leds on the glass lid at the moment as I need to work out where to fix them permanently.

I bought some red macro algae today which has added a lovely splash of colour to the tank

I have another purchase in there somewhere but they are in hiding at the moment so I won't spill the beans until I can show photographic evidence of them being there

A mini frag of the sage green zoas that's opened out nicely

Tequila and Darth are happy

well i know jenny loves her gobies. jen, how have you found clown gobies? green and yellow?

i had one a few years ago and i would like another two in my next tank (i want a yellow and a black or green..really i want a green )

i found mine hard to feed, so i resorted to feeding little and often and it worked for a while and then he got skinnier and passed away

i fed:
plankton
he ate pods
mysis
chopped mussel and prawn
krill
brine shrimp
he would only eat, one of everything about 3 times a day. and i want to be successful this time and seeing as you love your gobies i wondered if you have any tips?
EDIT
OMG its a black coral goby! what i was planning! OMG he is a stunner!!! he is SO cute! i thought that was the suprise but its from friday

you just made me laugh so hard Truck It was so funny reading your thought processes as they occurred

You're getting warm on the goby trail....not a clown goby though

reading that back to myself had me on the flour

you have a green clown goby in the nano dont you? how is it on the feeding side.

i wonder if its a neon goby ...small, cute.

 

[jennybugs]

My green goby is a prickle face goby but I can't find out the latin name and stuff. I'm still hunting it down

Neon goby? COLD!

 

[Anguilla82]

just seen your goby in you pics thread, he's soooooo cool
gotta love the stubble!

 

[jennybugs]

The stubble is fantastic isn't it?

I didn't realise how prickle faced he was 'til I got that shot in. You can't see the prickles with the naked eye...mind you I should try looking at him with my glasses on

 

[Truck]

by green clown goby i mean norman lol, what does he feed on?

 

[jennybugs]

He likes gut loaded brine shrimp that's for sure. He's also nibbled on New Era Marine Pellets that I crumbled up

i had yellow and he wouldnt feed i want one in my next system, i just hope the next one will eat

 

[jennybugs]

My miniscule baby YCG in my other tank wouldn't eat for ages. They're reknown for that, but I fed the tank a mix of brine shrimp, mysis and rotifers and he started eating again He was so sunken of belly I thought I was going to lose him but they all seem to like the pellets I mentioned He's not quite a fatty yet, but he can't get sucked up into the surface skimmer any more i am delighted to say.

More shopping and I came away with a few baby frags of other bits - one giant green button polyp frag and some brilliant orange zoas too for the tank and a turbo snail.

When I put them in and fed the tank, I was rewarded with a visitation...

and the turbo has plenty to chomp away at for some time. I only got one as the tank's small

R2D2 perhaps?

Not the normal standard of pics but I had to act fast as Gobi-wan and Ken-obi weren't in the mood for a set of closeups annoyingly :laugh: I'll be waiting the...I'll get them
