Maybe I’ll find a LFS in Denver with a whole bunch of them! 😂 A girl can dream! 2 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I heard back from KPA. He said they never stocked them! So I remembered wrong. I have no clue where I got those five green-banded gobies. Now I'm thinking it was an Ebay seller. 1 Quote Link to comment

Uploading a couple pictures for reference later. This is after my trip to Denver! 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a second colony that isn’t as plump. a few more pictures of the picotope. I need to do some trading to move some of the GSP of of this tank. As beautiful as it is to watch the long strands flow in the current, this is the branching variety and is rather aggressive so will easily take over a tank. I still have one rock in my large tank that I just need to pull out my hammer and break the rock apart to pull it out. 5 Quote Link to comment

The light is a Hipargero 30W purchased on amazon. 3 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 My GSP from jack1978 is the branching variety too . I'll deal with it when I deal with it . Maybe it will be a really good excuse to upgrade! That goby is just too cute! 2 Quote Link to comment
Merthynia Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 The heater in this tiny tank decided to freak out 2 days ago. I came home to the tank sitting at a toasty 94 degrees. I cooled down the tank and did some large water changes, however little sprinkle did not make it. I saw we have a contest getting started so I may tear this tank down (what is left) and set up my little 5 gallon tank as an entry. Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 ^ Sorry about the heater. Another entry is always welcome. 2 Quote Link to comment
