lmao! ok that is the funniest fish I've ever seen! love it!

Ya they're definitely different and comical looking. They also move faster then the speed of light to grab food. Very cool little blenny one of my faves for sure.

Looks like Barny is being stalked by a big arse Bristol worm in a couple pics there Laurie

Right there to the right of Barny.

thats funny.....I was on the phone with her when she was taking those pics and she was like "wow, there's a big arse bristleworm!":lol:

Can a mod please remove the part of my title that says (new barnacle blenny pic's Jan 29) Thanks.

Got some new friends and new pic's

Branacle blenny in his home. After moving all around the tank the first week I had him, he found a spot on the top arch way rock, and this has been his home for awhile now. Very glad I epoxied that rock into place.

Ya the dumb bristle worm did get him 2 days after I added him to the tank. Freaked me out cause there was a lot of bristles in Barny's mouth and he couldn't eat. However after 2 days all the bristles were gone and he was fine. Thankfully in his new home there aren't any bristle worms around him.

Finally the pic you've all been waiting for http://jukekartel.com/jkforum/images...es/drummer.gif

I had been taking a pic of the new red spot goby when I saw the pistol out and quickly got these pic's before he went back into his cave.

Thought I'd give a bit of an update. First off my frogfish is still alive but he still is floating around and not eating frozen anymore, broke down and got chromis for him to eat (one a week) the past 2 weeks he has been eating them :neutral: Don't really feel good about it but I couldn't sit around and watch him starve.

On a happier note here's some pic's from the 34g cube

Those gobies are cute beyond description! Haha.

Sorry to hear about the frogfish. Such a cool fish. Hope he pulls through. ... Have you thought about mollies for food? There's this store in Calgary, dunno maybe you've heard of it already, that sells SW acclimated mollies for this purpose.

I just buy freshwater, and acclimatize them slowly, although if he eats them right away, then less acclimatization would be needed. I have 2 adult mollies and 4 babies in my sump (saltwater) that I got as freshwater.

Ya I'm a sucker for super cute gobies, I love having a little tank full of them :mrgreen:

What store would that be :lol: j/k I had thought about bringing some mollies home but wasn't sure if he would still be alive when I got back home so I didn't bring any back with me. Good news is he's still alive. Surprisingly the little chromis that's in there with him (#3, been in there about a week now) is still alive too.

Sean at AI told me about Metronidazole by seachem and mentioned that it might help, but I don't know to much about it so I haven't tried it yet.
http://www.seachem.com/Products/prod...onidazole.html

I've thought about this but didn't want to set up a separate tank just to breed saltwater mollies when I'm not sure how much longer my froggy will live for.

S.O.B.!!!!!!!!!! :bad-word::bad-word::bad-word: Went to Calgary this weekend and I just got back today and I walked by my 34g and saw a shrivelled dried up thing on the floor......upon closer inspection I realized it was my yasha goby :censored::censored::censored::hurt::cry:

R.I.P. :rip: Picture I took just before I left on Friday

your Yasha goby???.....thats sucks baby:sad:

Ok so maybe it was supposed to have been your yasha :redface: I guess technically I got it as part of your christmas present :wink: Either way it definitely sucks!

Doug brought some coral up so I thought I'd post pic's however I was lazy and the glass isn't as clean as it should be

Laurie,
That really sux!!! It was such a beautiful fish. :sad:

Hows your froggy doing? Big Al's ha a warty one that I want, but I havent got a tank for him, and I'm pretty sure he'll eat some of my wrasses.

Ya that totally sucked. I do plan on getting another one though, just have to wait a bit.

Unfortunately he died about a month ago. I posted it in another thread but forgot to mention it here.

After my experience and from hearing about others not having much success with frogfish I doubt I will ever try one again. Any frogfish would definitely eat wrasses. I saw film of a frogfish eating a lionfish in the wild, it was pretty crazy to watch, they are a species that need a tank to themselves.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard that they'll eat anything that'll fit in their mouths. The only tank I have that I could put him in where he'd be the smallest occupant, he would probably get eaten (I'm "fish sitting" a stonefish, and I've no doubts he would eat the frog at the first opportunity).

Ya a stonefish would eat a frogfish and vice versa, but definitely one or the other would get eaten. Also remember that frogfish's mouth's expand quite a bit and they can usually eat fish twice their size.

So as I mentioned my froggy died and after a month of my 10g sitting empty I decided it was time for new life in there.

Just after I finished work at my full time daycare job AI called me and asked if I could come in, I said sure. They just got a fish shipment in today and this guy (blue spot jawfish) followed me home :redface:

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...g/DSC_0279.jpg

Seems to be doing good so far (all the fish are getting along well) and he ate 15mins after being added when I fed the tank:mrgreen:

Love that new favia Laurie!

Thanks, it's Doug's though....sadly most of the nice stuff in there is Doug's. However I was at red coral Edmonton today and Steve has frags of the same favia for sale and I'm sure AI could get some in :mrgreen:

http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...g/DSC_0307.jpg

Favia is looking annoyed at the paparazzi there ... :p

it does kinda have a grumpy face doesnt it?:lol:

:lol: totally does!

Doug took his coral back and I added some new coral and some new fish so I figured I would update this thread with new pic's. On a sad note my Blue spot jawfish died, found out they succumb to skin disease in warmer temp's. They need a colder tank 70-72, wish I had of known that before I got him :sad:

Radiant wrasse (bought him for Doug however his leopard wrasse kept picking on him so he got moved into the 34g) He's doing great and is only 1 1/2 to 2" now but eventually the tank will be to small for him and he'll either go back to Doug's tank or into my 80g.......or maybe I'll upgrade to a 60g cube :twised:

After numerous tries (he hides 80% of the time) I finally got decent pic's of my gum drop goby http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...DSC_0131-1.jpg

doze is some pretty sweet fish pics there babydoll.......no news about lighting?:wink:

Thanks hun :biggrin:

I have to say I love working at AI but it's getting hazardous to my wallet :lol:

They put a kessil led light above the nano display tank at work and I loved the look of it so much I let Dawn and Ron talk me into getting one for myself :wink:

So for the record this is all Dawn and Ron's fault! :razz:

I debated for awhile on the 150 or 350 and went with the 350, I figured if I ever upgrade this tank to a 60g cube the 350 will work on it.
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...g/DSC_0005.jpg

Got it set up last night and I love it! Great colour and gives off a nice shimmer effect :mrgreen: I have it turned down to about half way until the corals get more used to led lights.
http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/i...DSC_0004-1.jpg

Unfortunately the lights don't come on until later (they are on a timer) so I'll take more pic's when the light is on. Also while at work I saw some coral I had to have so I'll take pic's of it too later :biggrin:

New fts under the new Kessil light :mrgreen:

love the gobies, this is exactly what i want to do with a cube , tons of small interesting fish. Youve got all the good ones and that wrassse is fantastic.

Thanks I have to say I love my little fish, very entertaining to watch and perfect in a small cube tank.
