el_dante Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I just got a new camera and I'm like a pig in s@*t taking pictures of everything. Figured I'd post a picture of my new fish. Link to comment
el_dante Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Just testing this thing out. Here's another of the same. Link to comment
Blownpony Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 How do you like the Goby? I want one for my 10g. Link to comment
el_dante Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 He's great. He usually hides with his head sticking out, but he's fun to watch. I'd say he'd do fine in a 10g. Link to comment
Blownpony Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Do you have a pistol to go along with him? Link to comment
el_dante Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 No, but I'm thinking of getting one. I actually accidentally killed (not intentionally) a shrimp hitch hiker that I thought was a mantis and it turned out to be a pistol. Pretty horrible story. Link to comment
Blownpony Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I have a little shrimp in my tank now, he is about 1/4" long. I've only seen him once and he was to small for me to tell what he is. I'm scared he is a mantis, Hopefully its not. What do you feed the goby? Never been able to get a good answer on it. Link to comment
el_dante Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 That's exactly what happened with me: I saw a small shrimp, thought he was a mantis, fresh water dipped the small rock to get him out, it killed him, and I found out if was a pistol, not a mantis. Sux for me. I throw in flakes and pellets, can't remember what kind off hand, and he goes for both. He seems pretty happy so far. Link to comment
Blownpony Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I've read a couple ways to catch a mantis so I'll try them first so I don't kill something I want. Link to comment
mane3215 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I think I just found a small pistol in my tank. Not sure. He is burrowed under a rock I watched him bulldoze the sand out in front of the tunnel. He is about an inch long and solid white, not one but of color on him. I dont know if I should worry or not.
