Friskaburger Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Sorry to go a little off topic here, but what kind of black sand are you using there? And does it get dirty easily? I'm just curious it looks really great! Link to comment
raleej337 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 sorry this is not really about the topic and not really hi-jacking your thread. Do you guys keep a close lid? I'm planning to get a yellow goby but my tank have an open top. Link to comment
isogashi Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 sorry this is not really about the topic and not really hi-jacking your thread. Do you guys keep a close lid? I'm planning to get a yellow goby but my tank have an open top. I keep a closed lid. As it is, I have had to fish my orange spotted guy out of the back chambers a couple of times. Of course both times he landed in chambers that were full of media and no real water for him to swim in. He is just lucky that I was next to the tank when he decided to take the leap both times otherwise he would be in the big fish tank in the sky! They are really fun to watch as they are always busy. Only thing is that I got him after my tank was established and I guess I didn't think that he was going to burrow the way that he does and my landscape is now a good three inches lower because everything settled to the bottom because he is buiding so many burrows!!

nd12nc Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Sorry to go a little off topic here, but what kind of black sand are you using there? And does it get dirty easily? I'm just curious it looks really great! It's called tahitian moon sand. After a while you can start to see bits of shell and stuff in it but i think it looks pretty good even after a while.

xJoshx Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 He always ###ed off lookin lol theres a piece of LR that has Hole allway through it so he sits on top and if i make a sudden movement he's down the hole lol! Link to comment
Cshradr7 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Got this guy about a week ago, he's still afraid of me so he darts back in the rocks when i walk up to the tank so it's difficult to get a good picture. I'm still trying to get him to pair up with my pistol shrimp who never comes out of his burrow either, on the otherside of the tank. Link to comment
yota924x4 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 also hoping he pairs with my pistol, its been a few days and the watchmans bolthole is 3 inches to the right of where the pistol set himself up Link to comment
nicDH Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Im about to get a pistol and goby pair.. hopefully a hifin candycane (is this a normail one, a hifin with red stripes instead of black? sorry for the dumb question, but everyone elses hifins are black, and their not called "candycanes"). I already have the pistol picked out just havent taken him home yet. he's not even an inch, just like yotas.. but don't know whats the best goby for him in a 5 gallon with no other fish..
