Bored....so I thought I would do some photography. It is good to just shoot the tank every now and then for no reason as it helps me to watch the growth.

It is pretty hit'n miss on pairing up a pistol and a goby. They can be pretty specific and there would be a chance that the smaller one would end up being eaten by the larger.

You might be surprised. They are nocturnal and hide very well during the daytime in spite of their size. In a tank that size, I'm not surprised you haven't seen him lately. I lost mine for weeks...

See if you can white balance away some of that overall blue-ness. What you'll be left with is just the flourescent colours. Quite surreal. Here's an example. I would be very curious to see what...
