metrokat Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Apparently a Wheeler's goby? Really?! Coz I wanted one for him but wasn't sure they would pair. Quote Link to comment
East1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, but I'm not 100% cus I can't find a source, I may have heard it at my LFS. also, Randall's is a possibility, here. God I love that fish Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Does your jap pistol kill stuff? Mine ate up my cuc like crazy and made a graveyard to show he means business 3 Quote Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Kat search for gobies of Japan/Sri Lanka. I'd imagine they would pair fairly well with any of those. Unfortunately I have no experience with this species of shrimp. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Does your jap pistol kill stuff? Mine ate up my cuc like crazy and made a graveyard to show he means business I thought I saw your posts about that. Have a picture of the shrimp? Kat search for gobies of Japan/Sri Lanka. I'd imagine they would pair fairly well with any of those. Unfortunately I have no experience with this species of shrimp. They pair with yellow watchmans, because this guy was originally paired with one in the tank he came from but i don;t care for those fish. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pinner Reef Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Best options I can throw out there are (listed from "coolest" to "meh") Wheeler's, Candy, Dracula, Tiger, Bluespot. Again I may have no Idea what I'm talking about in terms of pairing capabilities. Edit: Woah! 1 Quote Link to comment

Hmm Quote Link to comment
plainrt Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yep started slow than went postal. But I'd still try another. I like the jap cause of the size. Atleast you can see this one vs others. Now you got me wanting one again 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I had 2 pistols in the sump, the japanese guy and an A. Armateus who only likes curlicue anemones. The japanese pistol lived in my skimmer compartment snd the other in my fuge. I don't know what happened when but they switched places with each other. So now I have the Japanese shrimp in the fuge and the armateus in.the display. At least it explains how Sam the mandarin was able to go in and out of the shrimps cave without being hurt Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thankfully Geowgee is still in the barnacle but this picture was taken yesterday when he was plastered to the corner This was at the LFS on Sunday. I arrived at 4 minutes to closing time and they let me take my time browsing their tanks. They like me in that store. Anyway, why can't I get a straight shot like this at home. sheesh Side view, very cute basslet I couldn't get a good picture at the store but they had a juvenile dragon wrasse. I have never seen it before, it was so amazing, what a beautiful fish. But not reef safe and gets very big. And this. This is one of my holy grail corals. I've been watching it growing at the LFS, painstakingly slow. The glass must have my drool on it from all the times i stick my nose to it and just stare at the thing. I've made them promise they'll give me at least one polyp of the darn thing. 7 Quote Link to comment
