jgpico Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 How goes Binny? Binny unfortunately is in clam heaven. Once he started showing signs of pm I wasn't able to reverse it. I dipped and put him in qt but he wouldn't get well. My other clam is still doing great though. No more clams for a while. Link to comment
owlbassboy Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 3 masked gobies would be fine in there i reckon Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 3 masked gobies would be fine in there i reckon really? You think 3 in a 3 gallon would be ok? I got crap for wanting to put a pair of red striped gobies in here before. Link to comment

You think 3 in a 3 gallon would be ok? I got crap for wanting to put a pair of red striped gobies in here before. Masked gobies are very small. Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Masked gobies are very small. You think 3 would work out in this tank? I never even thought of it being a possibility to keep 3 fish. That would be awesome if I could make it work. Link to comment
siwelk Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think I need to re-up on Clear Fx Pro... Link to comment
KeyboardWarrior Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hmmmm have you ever considered a pair of blue stripe pipefish? Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think I need to re-up on Clear Fx Pro... clear fx pro is the shat! my water is crystal clear. Plus another thing I like avout it over chemi pure elite is that it took maybe 5 minutes to rinse out as opposed to 30 mins. Hmmmm have you ever considered a pair of blue stripe pipefish? I would absolutely love pipefish in this tank but I have asked around on NR and everyone says they dont recommend them in a tank this small. which makes sense since there is no way to have a large enough food source for them to live happily and healthily....is healthily a word? oh well Link to comment
boxboy Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 oh wait, THAT was Binny?! I thought your other clam died. Awww. Masked gobies are very small. What about Elacatinus dilepis aka orange side goby, super tiny. and look cool Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 What about Elacatinus dilepis aka orange side goby, super tiny. and look cool Never even heard of those. I'll check them out. Link to comment
boxboy Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Never even heard of those. I'll check them out. Do you have any info about dwarf or pygmy gobies? Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Do you have any info about dwarf or pygmy gobies? Not a whole lot other than the info I have seen about the readily available species. Why? Link to comment
boxboy Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Not a whole lot other than the info I have seen about the readily available species. Why? Looking to find super small not the norm types of gobies. Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Looking to find super small not the norm types of gobies. I absurdly loved my red headed goby. He was active but also just hung out and wasn't shy at all. Link to comment

jgpico Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 This is red head goby? Yup, that has been my favorite fish. I had him for over a year and then he decided to jump out of the tank. I have thought about getting another one for my 3 gallon but I'd really like to try something different. Link to comment

I have thought about getting another one for my 3 gallon but I'd really like to try something different. Dwarf goby list I made so far to research and hopefully find. Photos of each SP is in the linked post at bottom of list. Maybe we can find some sweet looking types? elacatinus dilepis (Orange side goby) Eviota smaragdus (Ear-spot pygmy goby) (Red head goby) Trimma Sp. Gobies Bryaninops dianneae (Fiji sponge goby) Bryaninops yongei (Seawhip goby) Gobiosoma illecebrosum (Barsnout goby) Luposicya lupus (Yellow sponge goby) Pleurosicya sp. (Pink sponge goby) Trimma benjamini (Benjamin's goby) Valenciennea decora Valenciennea puellaris (Orange-dashed goby) Valenciennea strigata (Bluestreak goby) Here is the source link for above info: http://www.ryanphotographic.com/gobiidae.htm Link to comment

jgpico Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 I just learned from zephnyc in the albertthiel thread that there is a company that is aquaculturing pipefish and he thinks I would be able to keep one in my upcoming 5.5 build. I might be able to have a pipefish sooner that I thought. Link to comment

jgpico Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Your getting a dwarf pipefish? Not sure if it will be a dwarf pipefish but it will be a pipefish that is aquacultured and trained on frozen mysis already. Link to comment
