SDartifex Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Man, there are so many amazing trimma, eviota gobies.... Why only few in the trade...... #bitchySaturday oh anyone know great fish stores in the west LA area? Good luck, pygmy gobies are a pain to track down.. I've been working on a few for a Couple months now with no luck. Quote Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I suggest buying from Liveaquaria whenever they're on sale. That's how I got 6 eviotas and 2 trimmas, all of which cost a pretty penny... Quote Link to comment

HAHAHA I know i was lucky that I found my trimma at a LFS! they are kinda rare to find around here I suggest buying from Liveaquaria whenever they're on sale. That's how I got 6 eviotas and 2 trimmas, all of which cost a pretty penny... I got two of my red spotted trimma at a LFS, and I LOVE THEM. I wish there are more pieces in the trade whether wild-caught or tank-raised... I think they are amazing fishes. I love your gold neon eviotas!!!!!! I read somewhere said that they change sex, do you have a mated pair? How do you like them? I'm thinking of getting 2 (or maybe I'm just wishing LOL) Quote Link to comment

I just checked LA, and they have the eviotas in stock. My group is apparently a harem, or at least some sort of pecking order, with the largest one (it has longer dorsal rays) being the leader. I like them since they are not too active except when feeding. I show warn you that the leader actually picked on one of the trimmas (same type you have), even though the trimma was bigger.

Why only few in the trade...... #bitchySaturday oh anyone know great fish stores in the west LA area? I agree...there need to be more available. I was wanting some red-eye gobies, but after some research, quickly squelched that dream. They are VERY rare to pop up in the trade. Maybe someday we'll have more pygmy gobies to choose from. Did you discover any great fish stores in our area? I'm still looking for that perfect store. Quote Link to comment

The only store I think is the best that I can find is Vivid Aquariums; however, their fish selection is underwhelming comparing to corals!!!! It is quite a drive for me tho, up to 30-40 mins in traffic.... one way. For small gobies, I have better luck at the Aquarium in Culver City; however, that's pretty much it LOL. We need connection to the wholesaler so we can snatch the rare ones or licensed diver hahahaha but that's more likely to be in my dream.... Quote Link to comment

mattclark82 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 There is a guy that is at art shows around here (you probably have a local variety) who does the spacey spray paint art. For your star field background maybe you can do something like it, minus the whole wacky pyramid or space ship. Quote Link to comment

I'm assuming you would have to hang it onto the wall instead of the glass panel since you wouldn't want paint sticking onto the back glass haha. Quote Link to comment
