cpu933k September 3, 2018 Author Share September 3, 2018 Added this bella goby a few months ago, but it went right into hiding. I don't see it very often and when I do, it usually darts right back into it's burrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpu933k September 8, 2018 Author Share September 8, 2018 (edited) The reason the bella goby was out and about more recently is becuase I added some anthias - 2 bimaculatus and 1 fathead sunburst. One of the bimacs took over the goby's burrow. The anthias were hiding for about a week, but are now swimming around a little bit more, but mostly hang out in the bottom corner. I can't get over how colorful the bimacs are. The borbonius anthias harasses them the most. They are intimidated by the other larger fish but those fish don't really bother the anthias. I started out with 3 bimacs, but 1 didn't make it through QT. I have another one in QT now. I may be done stocking after that 3rd bimac.

GOSKN5 September 9, 2018 Share September 9, 2018 How do you like the fathead? Did it come with the colors that vivid? I see pics of them online with awesome colors.. like yours.. but when I see them in stores they are dull Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the colors really come out more in the DT lighting vs QT lighting. Maybe that's why they look dull in LFS lighting. But even in QT lighting, his colors were more vivid than some bartletts I had (but not as vivid as the bimacs). He was really timid in QT and I hardly saw him until around the 4th week or so.

cpu933k November 21, 2018 Author Share November 21, 2018 (edited) Added the 3rd bimac anthias: They don't really hangout together, but caught a few pics with them together: [ Added a juvenile male bluethroat trigger (thanks for the suggestion BowieReefer84!) Yellow margins on the fins haven't fully developed yet, but the blue throat is starting to come through: Then added my last fish - a baby dogface puffer. Wanted to keep the theme going with a yellow belly dogface puffer, but after searching for one for several weeks with no luck, I came across this cute regular dogface puffer at Capital Aquarium and couldn't resist buying him. He does have some faint traces of yellow on him though I think he's still a little stressed (dark) as he just made it out of QT and has only been in the DT for about a week. He looks much better when not stressed. Even though these two are mellow and smaller than the bullies in the tank, nobody messes with them at all. It's like it's programmed into them to know not to mess with puffers and triggers. Biggest bully of the tank. Nonstop harassment of the goldflake and borbonius (who grew quite fast - maybe as a defense mechanism).

cpu933k January 25, 2019 Author Share January 25, 2019 Maybe I'm projecting onto him, but I think he enjoys it. He just swims off when he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpu933k February 20, 2019 Author Share February 20, 2019 FOWLR no more! Did some major trimming in my reef tank today and decided to try them out in the FOWLR. Butterflies were doing some serious nipping, but I think more out of curiosity, as they eventually stopped. I tried before with some small frammer frags, but they decimated those. I think with a larger colony, it spreads the nipping out until they get bored and stop. We'll see if this can last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
