gena Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I was really cracking up at my little goby, be was dive bombing these two and nipping at them. I expect hell calm down thoThat's just crazy! I would never expect a YCG to have the cojones for that . I really like my banggai cardinal. I had two but they ended up fighting so one had to go. Hopefully you got lucky with a pair . Link to comment

They have been in the store togethere for a few weeks, I'm going to add a 3rd, as I've heard that's the thing to do. I called the wife down and just sat there laughing, he's been in the tank by himself for 6 months, so I guess he just decided he's the boss. He's left em alone for a while but they went from checking out the tank to hiding in the corner Link to comment
markalot Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 My yellow clown can get into it with the Basslet at times, who is 3 times his size easy. You need a Pygmy Wrasse as well, great little fish with a funny tail. He wiggles it like a stinger at times, then can open it up and it's quite attractive. Not sure exactly what the purpose of it is.

I really like the red of the pygmy, that'd be great for color. What's the process of mixing wrasse? I'm pretty new to fiah, I've only had a few in all my past tanks, so I'm learning as I go. I'm beginning to see this little goby as a chihuahua, he thinks he 12", not 1/2" Link to comment

I have a sixline in my 150 which is one of the worst. I keep a mirror up at all times on the right side so he doesn't pick on my Ruby headed wrasse. Link to comment

I keep a mirror up at all times on the right side so he doesn't pick on my Ruby headed wrasse. I almost over reacted about these clear little flatworms, which I haven't seen since the tank swap, and got a 6 line glad I didnt, in as small a tank as I've got I'm afraid it'd be a complete terror Link to comment
Chris! Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 What's the process of mixing wrasse? What wrasses do you want to mix? That would be perfectly fine. If it looks like a male, it is a male they start female and turn male.... IMO if you really want a show, get 2 or 3 different flashers... like the mckoskers, yellow fin flasher, and dot-dash or blue flasher. Add them all at the same time to avoid issues, and try to get them similar sized and already male. All those max around 3-4" and will provide alot of nice color especially with them flashing their fins at each other all the time. 2-3 males of different flasher wrasses would be fine... they will "flash" each other alot but damage should be minimal at most. Oh yeah already talked about it...... Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Pipe fish- love them-that'll be sweet! like the new fish additions- do they ever separate? Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pipe fish- love them-that'll be sweet! like the new fish additions- do they ever separate? Not yet, I'm hoping they might have paired up in the store, it'd be awesome to see some breeding behavior I vote that you call the Goby Napoleon. I'll run it by the wife, the fish are "hers" Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pawning the fish off on the wife- that's my ploy too- keeps her interested and on the day time feeding schedule? Link to comment
Chris! Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pawning the fish off on the wife- that's my ploy too- keeps her interested and on the day time feeding schedule I wish mine liked reef safe fish it'd make things easier lol Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pawning the fish off on the wife- that's my ploy too- keeps her interested and on the day time feeding schedule? she's still screaming for a tang, I just told her that mean a bigger tank in a year or so LOL I wish mine liked reef safe fish it'd make things easier lol It worked out well that she picked the YCG first, she said she wanted a harlequin tusk, I said he'd eat her goby... "what a dick, he's not even that pretty anyway, mean ####er" Link to comment

NorthGaHillbilly Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah mine likes groupers, tusk, butterflies, lions..... Basically if it eats coral or other fish she likes it lol Seems like a theme developing, I've got several friends with fowlr tanks now because of their wives. Kinda weird us manly men want to grow under water flowers and our ladies prefer flesh eaters. As everyone one can probably tell I'm big on diy and getting equiptment used, but I broke the theme today and put in my order for an Apex Jr and the wireless adaptor to take this thing into the Internet age. I would like to have more controllable sockets, but as I'm not looking to add a ton of probes or do dad's the Jr was the way to go for me. I'm going to just run my lights on timers as it seems over complicating things to have sockets taken up for such a simple, and not immediately necessary, process. Link to comment

Kinda weird us manly men want to grow under water flowers and our ladies prefer flesh eaters. Yeah she was all set for getting a couple HUGE tanks when we moved because she actually wanted a shark & aggressive fish tank and I could have an equal sized reef if I wanted.... then she talked me into staying here and remodeling Link to comment
