Default Some really low quality photos for your enjoyment...

Hosted by the company I don't work for anymore!



The goby lives under these GSPs.

Aquarium Illusions had him eating and past the 21-day quarantine* period or whatnot, bright colours, etc., looking very good, so I decided to go for it. Good or bad decision, still not sure. I've had him for about three weeks.

While he's been in my tank he's had a nip taken out of his tail, as did the goby. I expect it was the female clownfish, who has since calmed down. Both are healing nicely.

* Quarantine is hardly correct in my opinion. The tanks have gravel substrate and of course there are numerous fish of a variety of types in the tanks. Regardless, it at least gives you a chance to watch the fish adjust to tank life.

I don't think they are fuzzy. You've seen my photos, thats fuzzy. At first I thought you had pairs of everything. Kind of cool how all the pairs seem to mimic each other in a mirror like fashion.

Well you know how it is shooting with a flash. The goby was ok, didn't need flash, was able to use macro because he doesn't move too much. But the rest, fat chance. Had to the do the sideways shot thing. Someday I will have to get Alan to come take some proper photos of my setup.

Oh, and the clown *does* have a mate. He hangs out on the other side of the tank a lot though. He stares at a single rock all day.

Oh, and you can see my bicolour blenny in the third photo, right below the angel, sitting on the rocks. Just a little purple and orange blur. He finally started eating nori the other day.

The tang is definently more at home now. He has started eating OSI pellets, which is a good thing, considering he wasn't touching anything but nori and algae on the rocks.

Not sure what you see that looks like a gourami, what you see there is an Atlantic blue tang, Acanthurus coeruleus; a Potter's dwarf angelfish, Centropyge potteri; a Bicolour blenny, Ecsenius bicolor; an Orange diamond goby, Valencienna puellaris; and a pair of Black saddleback clownfish, Amphirion polymnus. The blenny is really hard to see on the rocks. I expect you're looking at the angelfish. He is a really nice fish.

Jon you can't get out that easily, I'll find something for you to fix. Maybe you'll have to help me cull the GSPs, I swear they've grown by 1cm on each side since I got them.

Good to hear about the tang. So I assume your happy with him and going to keep him?
