jgpico Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 That pistol is too cute. Still want a link to the frag tree and the alien paly. Thanks metro, I love candy cane pistol shrimp. You can find the frag tree on thriveaquatics.com and I have been meaning to send you a pm back about the alien paly. I promise I haven't forgotten about you Link to comment
jgpico Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 anyone know what kind of zoa this is? looks kind of like a magician but I dont think it is a magician. Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Does look like a magician just a bit faded. Link to comment
gena Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yep...looks like magicians to me too! That's a yellow watchman goby, right? You had put ymg so wasn't sure if it was something else!!!! Cute couple Link to comment
jgpico Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Does look like a magician just a bit faded. Hopefully it colors up. The one reason I was thinking it wasn't magicians was because the speckles around the mouth are so uniform and in a perfect circle as opposed to the speckles being random and all over. Yep...looks like magicians to me too! That's a yellow watchman goby, right? You had put ymg so wasn't sure if it was something else!!!! Cute couple Thanks for the ID. It is a yellow watchman goby. My fiance brought the couple home the other day and they are awesome! I had a hi-fin goby/candy cane pistol shrimp pair in my 3 gallon and loved them. Their is nothing like the symbiotic relationship between a shrimp a goby. Link to comment
jgpico Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Haven't been here in a while so I figured I'd post a couple pics I snapped. nothing special, thanks for looking. FTS Link to comment
ecogirl22 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 did they include the adapter to mount the frag tree on the side? The one on their website looks like it sits on a stand. were plugs included too? the x-mas tree design of that floor standing model is sweet, I really like it! $20 is a great price too (and i cheap!) I've given up on "pro" suction cup frag racks. oh wait, I'm seeing two different models. the one you have you can actually buy, the one on their website i don't see for sale anywhere. Looks like they really improved on the design! Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I must be the only person in the world that has a shrimp and goby pair that chose to make a burrow inside a cave around the corner utterly out of sight. forever i hear Luger snapping all the time, and I see Charlie come out for morsels every now and then. But never see them together. Link to comment

Looks like they really improved on the design! Sorry I totally missed your post and I always forget that I have this thread lol. the frag tree that I have is the one you suction cup to the side of the tank. Im not sure if the other model is available yet. It is a pretty cool design but I dont know that I would want an actual tree of frags in the middle of my tank. The frag trees do not come with any frag plugs you have to purchase those separate.

But never see them together. My ywg and pistol shrimp made there burrow on the side of my tank out of sight as well metrokat. I hate it because when I had my goby/pistol pair in my 3 gallon they had an entrance right in the front and I would see them all the time. Im hoping they decide to move the burrow sooner or later.

lljdma06 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I didn't know you had a biocube. I've got one too. It looks really good. L Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I didn't know you had a biocube. I've got one too. It looks really good. L Thanks a lot L. Yeah sometimes I forget I have a biocube since I try to focus on my 3 gallon. This is really the lady friends tank but I do all the maintenance. Whenever I see a coral I have to have but it wont fit in the 3 gal I throw it in here. Your biocube is lookin good btw Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 for the longest time I have thought that my candy cane pistol shrimp was dead. I always see my ywg hanging out by the burrow the shrimp dug for them when I first got them but I havent seen the shrimp in forever. I kept listening for snaps from the shrimp as well and heard nothing. Finally the other day I fed the tank and all I heard was the pistol poppin shots off. Its a good thing it did that because I was planning on buying a tiger pistol the next day. Link to comment

Params are great, sps is growing a lot. Rest of the inverts & the gramma is fine. Bleh... Glad yours is ok. Gives me hope that mine will show up. I like your tank. Haha, makes me want a bigger cube!

Right now their are tons of corals scattered on my sand bed and it's driving me crazy. Link to comment

Right now their are tons of corals scattered on my sand bed and it's driving me crazy. That's how my 36g is starting to look right now and my old 8g whenever I have to move corals for a reason. You're tanks are awesome. I learn a lot just by watching all of the tanks here, but I have my favorites. L Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Finally got a pic of the ywg. Not the best pic but you get the idea. Link to comment

jgpico Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 How long has it been since you haven't seen him? Link to comment
lljdma06 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 How long has it been since you haven't seen him? Over a week. Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Over a week. Does it have a pistol shrimp pal? Link to comment
lljdma06 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Does it have a pistol shrimp pal? Yep, I stopped hearing him click a few days later. Link to comment
jgpico Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I thought my pistol was a goner for 2 weeks and I very rarely ever saw my ywg but now I hear the shrimp amy occasionally see him and my goby has started coming out of the burrow a lot more often. Keep up hope because they might still be in there. Link to comment
jgpico Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 I took the mp10 off this tank and threw a koralia 240 on since I kinda thought the mp10 was a little over kill. The nem looks happier and for some reason the tank just looks totally different. I am going to save the mp10 for my 120 gallon tank since I will be able to put it to work a lot more than it was in this tank. I snapped a few random photos. Here ya go. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey, if you need some one to baby sit the MP10 until we get your 120 up, I have a few ideas. Need to keep them running or they'll...explode or something. I heard it from this guy at this store once. Super cereal. Your 'nem is looking great, can't remember any frogspawn though.
