metrokat Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 New Video Was much better quality till I allowed you tube to "stabilize" it. Oh well. 12 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Goby is cute I love these little guys, I want, but I'm afraid someone will eat them in my tank. They aren't much bigger than the PE mysis lol. They have the 'cleaner stripe' on them so they'll be left alone. Even groupers don't go after them. 3 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 What's the deal with the cleaner stripe? Basically all 'cleaner' animals have stripes. Neon gobies, cleaner wrasses, cleaner shrimp, other misc wrasses that are cleaners as juveniles, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Goby is cute I love these little guys, I want, but I'm afraid someone will eat them in my tank. They aren't much bigger than the PE mysis lol. My little neon is kept constantly busy cleaning fish, they line up for him and fight each other off to get next in line. The shrimp handles one alcove, the goby the other. Event the sixline, the crazy sixline, gets cleaned by the neon goby. So that's Yellow Tangs, Foxface, Kole Tangs, sixline. He wants to clean the little cardinals but they are scared of him. The Anthias prefer the shrimp. The male hogs the cleaner while the female has found the peppermint and doesn't understand why they won't come out to clean. 3 Quote Link to comment

hypostatic Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 IM Gourmet Defroster video At first I was like "meh" when I saw the pic of it, but the video really speaks lengths about its usefulness. It looks like you can really use it for a slower more continuous feeding throughout the day, which is what most fish (I think especially the anthias) really benefit from. 1 Quote Link to comment

Threw in some hard to soak flakes this morning, it swirled it around for a while before they sank and went into waiting mouths. Miss Kat that's a nice new video of an entertaining tank to say the least. Thank you, it's entertaining for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'd agree I just did a new video myself yesterday. Although not as busy and colorful as yours haha. 1 Quote Link to comment

You know, I do have a lot of color, but I also think not having my lights blow everything up shows up rather well. The sand is the whitest brightest thing, my rocks are covered with corals and coralline so they don't show up as stark points in the scape either. It's a composition of everything I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment
