thirdchild Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I have a Randall's Goby (white), False Percula (orange) in a 40g breeder. I see the goby maybe once a day. So the tank's looking real empty with one fish swimming around I'd like to add a tailspot blenny (misc), filamented flasher wrasse (red) and cherub angel (blue) in this order with a few weeks in between. No fancy shrimp, but I do have a clam and coral. Will this work? I've heard the dwarf angels are ok if they're well fed. Thanks! Link to comment
mjames6688 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 That's a good start... Get a Pistol Shrimp. I got a Candy Cane Pistol (?) and it and my Randall Goby paired up in a matter of seconds. It's pretty cool to watch him dig, dig, dig... Pushing sand and rocks all over the place! Just make sure your LR is on the bottom and not siting on the sand Link to comment

joy13 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The cherub angel fish might nip at the clam so keep an eye on that and have a backup plan. I have heard of angels being fine then one day decide to clean up on corals and clams on guy said he lost a trust fund in corals. Link to comment

I decided the red spotted blenny at the LFS looked better than the tailspot. So now I've got one of those :-) Clown's looking a little stressed and slimey though. This might turn into a sad thread.... Link to comment

Started swimmming funny and a white film appeared on it's body. Looked like it's fins were nipped pretty well too... The new blenny doesn't seem to want to move from one corner of the tank.... it also seems to be breathing heavily. Link to comment
Rollermonkey Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Did you QT the blenny? It sounds like it may have brought in some disease... Brooklynella perhaps? Link to comment

No, I was dumb and didn't do the QT. Sigh. I bought on impulse... If it was brooklynella, does this mean the remaining blenny and goby are doomed? I mihgt be able to catch the blenny but the goby is not coming out unless I tear down everything. Link to comment
