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

Yasha with candy cane pistol shrimp (you can actually see him in these pic's)





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 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

Peek-a-boo


My newest goby a green banded goby

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

What store would that be 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.

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.

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