Pearly Jaw and Tailspot Blenny pictures (Room Pics)

[shrimpchips]

yeah, they have a lot of personality. When I upgrade I'd like to have a whole bunch. I've seen a few pictures of mated pairs hanging out together in their hole and it's super cute. Hopefully I can get some of that action going on - I think I have two males right now :P

Mine like to cover up with a few pieces of rock rubble I've supplied them with. They carefully arrange them every night, and in the morning they arrange them around their hole. If you move one of the pieces during the day, they'll go looking for it and bring it back, then stare at me as if saying "WTF did you do that for?"

Here's one of my little guys trying to eat a hawkfish:

My guy with his friends..citron goby,neon goby and geometric hawkfish.Yesterday I placed a half cup of crushed coral at the end of the 12 gal tank and he moved it in one day.I keep giving him new building materials and he keeps on adding to his burrow.

Picked up a pair of Purple Firefish on the weekend. Very beautiful fish. Not timid at all, ate right away. Great fish.

One of them (cell phone picture, quality may not be great):

Nice looking fish you have! I love that hawk! How is he with the other fish? I guess all hawks are known jumpers?

So far..he's still pretty shy...doesn't bother the other fish...they say it is more related to an anthias than a hawkfish.

I have a geometric pygmy hawk as well. I never knew hawkfish were considered jumpers, the ones I've had never showed any signs of wanting to jump. My geo hawk is very shy, he hid in my tank for 2 months before I saw him again after I first got him. Now he stays hidden about 90% of the time but at least I usually see him a few times a week for a few minutes each time.

In my experience they have been and I hear that all the time but it would depend on the species I guess?

I don't know too much about hawks. Only had 2 and both actually jumped

Some nighttime pictures with the lights out (with flash).

Tailspot Blenny...he should be sleeping!



Pom Pom Crab...Never see him much in the day other than feeding time but every night he explores the tank.

How do you focus if the room and tank are not lit? Does your camera have the little light that assists with focusing?
