animalmaster6 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nice barnacle blenny. They are a definte for the 7.5g once it's up. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nice barnacle blenny. They are a definte for the 7.5g once it's up. Yeah I saw him in his shell at the LFS and could not leave without him. So interesting. And tiny. No idea where he went today but I'm sure he's fine. Eats mysis like a champ. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 yeah they are some of the coolest fish! Link to comment
castiel Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Cute! How about some updated pics of the rest of the tank? It has been almost a year ... =0) Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Cute! How about some updated pics of the rest of the tank? It has been almost a year ... =0) Wow I didn't see this sorry. The tank is a macro'd up and is kinda boring other than all my sponge growing. Look at this monster! I have to sell it cause it's too big and it deserves NOT to be chopped up. Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I think I had that species of sponge, or very similar, have you IDed it? Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah it's Colospongia sp. Hard to get more exact than that. Most people give it high light and flow but mine grows like a vase under really stupidly old CF lights and minimal seahorse tank flow. Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 update? I have not been adding stuff in here lately. Just growing tons and tons of my sponge. It got up to be 15" and I cut it back and its back to 13". Plus my other pieces are all over 6" or 7". I have a giant peppermint shrimp in there which I am starting to suspect may be a different species than the average Lysmata wurdmani. Might even be a Klukenthal's Cleaner Shrimp cause he is huge. I'm pondering an Orange Spot Filefish Pair. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Could use a trio of T.Tevegae, IMO. Then again, I've never heard of orange spot file fish. According to google, they look great but they munch Acropora all most exclusively . How would you plan to feed them? Train them on to frozen? As with most things on your threads, I'm intrigued.

Jacob042426 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Can you post pictures of the tank? Link to comment

If I got them I'd get a pair from DD which they say eats frozen already. Theres no coral in this tank to eat anyways. Can you post pictures of the tank? I will in a bit but remember it's pretty much a fuge and there is a fair amount of not so pretty algae. But with my sponge I like it. It's truly a textbook cryptic fuge IMO. Oh and I'm getting 4 female reidi seahorses soon! Captive bred. Very excited! Link to comment
Vort Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hey Bongo, I hate to do this, but I think you could give me an awesome answer. I'm looking for a couple of fish for my biocube, but I've got a maxi mini, anything you'd recommend? I've been watching your youtube channel for the past half hour or so, pretty awesome stuff. Are those adorable little cuttlefish still doing well? Link to comment

Are those adorable little cuttlefish still doing well? Don't hate to do this. The point of the forums is to ask questions and I welcome all of them. IMO a maxi mini is not something that should limit you in terms of fish. 9/10 times if a fish is found in a maxi mini it was either sick, dying or already dead. Just don't put pipefish or seahorses with them because those would be hurt or killed. Anyways, most fish know to stay away. Glad you are enjoying my videos thanks! I lost the cuttlefish after about 5 weeks. Not sure why since they were eating and the water was fine. It could just be related to the whole "hundreds of eggs and one or two survivors". I would have gotten more but mysis are very expensive to have to order sometimes twice a week. Link to comment

Thanks for the advice, I guess I'm just paranoid, he's only tiny anyway, probably 3" around or so. Whats next for the millionaire playboy bong shrimp? Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Whats next for the millionaire playboy bong shrimp? That not an accurate description by a long shot! What's next? I don't have a next. For this tank I'm just growing lots and lots of purple sponge. Link to comment

teemee Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I know you have posted here in ages. Just wondering if you still have the chironepthea and if so, how its doing. I picked up 2 today. I've had a lot of nps in the past, so I'm hoping I can treat it well. Can you let me know about placement? It looked really happy in the pictures you posted. thx! Link to comment
Bongo Shrimp Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I do not still have it. It was in really low flow and I assume it opened up as a feeding response. It most likely wants high flow and I can tell you it always opened when I fed small frozen foods like cyclops and ova. I would give that a shot. As for this tank I have completely redone it (no new rock or anything) and its cleaned up quite a bit with some tree sponges which I believe may actually be keepable. Link to comment
