Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Oooh Lolita. Glad you named when young. Otherwise I mite wonder???I name my fish too. But I can't post some of their names. . are they or something? Nice Midas Blenny Thanks! Can't wait till you get some fish for your tank. Are you considering harlequins for your tank, by any chance?

animalmaster6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Possibly. I don't really want to feed them starfish. That's the problem. Maybe Bumblebee Shrimp instead There will definetly be predominantly small inverts and gobies. Link to comment
yoshii Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Georgina? Funny thing, I only name some of my fish. Well, all of them have names, I just don't use them for some, like my clowns are just "the clownfish" but my YCG is Sunshine(named after my aunt's dog actually, and he's a very bright yellow) Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 AM: I felt guilty when I first got them and fed them the sea stars . But I got used to it because I realize it is little different than feeding mysis to your fish or eating a chicken sandwhich. You should still think about them, they are really neat. Buying seastars does get a little expensive, but really, it's not that bad. I don't really name my fish either, and when I try too, well, I'm pretty bad at naming fish...Doggy... . Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 That's the problem. I feel bad about the starfish but I haz no money And the money I have/get I need to save up for gobies. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 That's fine then. There are plenty of other neat inverts. Quick math: $5-$7 per choc chip sea star, shrimp eat 2-3 stars a month...that's about $120-$252 a year. And I have had the shrimp for almost a year. that is way more expensive than I thought... but they are worth it . Link to comment
Kazooie Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Why not chop the stars instead of buying new every time? Also, your torch is about to explode. Send it to me so that I can make it safe again. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Stars don't grow their legs back fast enough to keep up the shrimp's almost endless apatite. I think I will keep my torch, see how big it gets before it explodes. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ooh I pay 4$ a pop for a decent sized one. My boy Greg at my lfs buys on bulk and keeps the pretty ones for peoples displays. All the rest are chow for harlequins. I pick up like 5 at a time with my 80+ gal of water. The more often I go there the more I spend. 00 O Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 I can only buy 1-2 at a time because of my small fuge. Bub $4 a piec still comes out to at least $96 a year. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 You are correct right about a been a year. Worth it to me. +1 these shrimp eat quicker than a star can regrow a limb. I'm lucky to have a 20l sump to keep em in. When I had my biocube up that's all I could do as well. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Here are some not-blenny-related pics: tentacoolz this head is splitting, you can see if you look closely looks like a clown and nem pic but the clown actually likes to host this sometimes fuzzy peppermint pic i would like this shroom to take over the space underneath the torch shrimp and goby i think this guy is growing pretty nicely Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Your tangora almost looks like a sand sifter. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 He sometimes takes in a little bit of sand like a sandsifter would. Wish my camera had a decent macro setting. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I can't wait for my girl to come home she just got a cannon t2i!! I'll put some good pics up when that happens. Great shots by the way. I enjoyed them. Link to comment
