gena Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I just sold one of these cute little picotopes! Looks awesome! Maybe someone mentioned it, but what about a par30 bulb? I have one for sale . Link to comment
patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I just sold one of these cute little picotopes! Looks awesome! Maybe someone mentioned it, but what about a par30 bulb? I have one for sale .Evansville actually mentioned that but I decided to go for gold. I want a fancy light and knowing me, I would rather start off right instead of flounder a few months and then break down and purchase it later on. Lol. What else you have for sale? Evanski *** Tomorrow I need to drop off some papers to my permit investigator, stop off at Walmart, and hopefully get some sexy shrimp in here. I also need to re arrange some stuff around the room so the tank can be put on the bedside table without the clock and crap behind it. I'll try to actually clean the salt creep and sand off the sides and take a picture of it. One thing I suck at is taking pictures to show how my tanks grow. Link to comment
patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 If anyone wants a flaming prawn goby let me know. I didn't know they were so damn expensive.... Just picked one up for 18 bucks and they had 3 or 4 more at the store. Link to comment
evanski Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Evanski *** Yes? Like the black NB buy...its what I have over my two tanks. Link to comment
patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yes? Like the black NB buy...its what I have over my two tanks. That was just my lazy way of fixing autocorrect into calling you Evansville. I actually just noticed the light I have on my tank now is the deep blue solar flare, 5x 3 watt leds. Okay... So reasons why I shop for fish in the ghetto.... Playing prawn goby a for 18 bucks, check. 2 ricordea for 15 bucks, check. Getting to see a dr Seuss soap fish in person at 2 different stores in a week, check. Reasons I shouldn't shop in the ghetto.... Extremely packed parking lot due to the free food signs they have posted. Getting yelled obscenities at every time I drive past one of the homeless people (there's usually a dozen or so sleeping in the bushes, (it's sad really) seeing some guy beat the shit out of a crackhead who he ran into outside the fish store door because he apparently robbed his house. Dr Seuss Flaming prawn. He even went exactly where I wanted him to in the rock work. Link to comment
evanski Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Those are VERY cool fish. Can't believe you got one at $18! The usually go over $100. Only problem is they hide a lot, most folks I hear from hardly ever see them. Link to comment

Gotta love a good steal,I got my ruby red dragonet from petco for 9.99 cause they had it labeled scooter blenny,I also had a $5 off coupon. So $80 fish for $4.99 Link to comment

So $80 fish for $4.99you see, I didn't know those were that expensive either. The same store sells those for about 15 the last I asked. The store looks like absolute garbage, but the people are real nice and they practically give stuff away. There were some nice yellow zoas with blue mouths but I skipped on those. They said they were asking 21 for them and it was a real hefty frag, almost colony size. Those are VERY cool fish. Can't believe you got one at $18! The usually go over $100. Only problem is they hide a lot, most folks I hear from hardly ever see them. I figured I have a 3.5 gallon.... I'm bound to see it once I a while. Lol. My favorite part of the tank is looking close to see life you normally would glaze over. I initially went in for sexy shrimp but they were all out. Link to comment
patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hey guys.... How long does t usually take ricordea to hold onto rock work? I've never had any before that weren't on a thin sheet of rock or sand that could be glued down. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hey guys.... How long does t usually take ricordea to hold onto rock work? I've never had any before that weren't on a thin sheet of rock or sand that could be glued down. I would do it for at least 24 hours. Rubber band method or mesh method work well, or you could put it in a cup with rubble. I try to avoid "floating" ricordias, but that worked for me twice Link to comment

I try to avoid "floating" ricordias, but that worked for me twice with an mp10 in this small of a tank I can't let anything float around. It'll be sure to get chopped. Right now I have my stainless steel feeding tongs applying light pressure on them as I forgot I had no way of attatching them. Link to comment

patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 About a week pattycakes.....nice fish, man! Them sexies will eat yo coralz. Thanks. The damn thing is tiny. Like the thickness of a toothpick and 1/4 the length of one. I know that sexies like zoa skirts but I love sexy shrimp. Best shrimp out there I think besides cleaner shrimp that actually clean. Jack you think the stainless steel will be okay for an extended time in a tank? They have some surface rust so it's not a very good quality. Edit:Agh whatever. Guess I need to stop being lazy and pick up some rubber bands and put them on thin disks. take notes jack. Link to comment

patback Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 You got a flaming prawn goby for $18? I really really want to pick the other ones up but I've spent around 450 bucks this week on a 3 gallon tank. Lol. Link to comment

jack1978 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Supposedly best singley or in a pair, but.... Ehh. Lol, so dump all of them in....and eventually you'll have a pair......or one :^ ) Link to comment
patback Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just rubber banded a ricordea to a thin frag plug. One of them was actually attached so I left it alone. After I'l glued it I think I want to move it to spread them out. Lol. Pictures tomorrow. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm pretty sure that rubber banding it there will aggravate it and make it move lol. I always put them and some sand/rubble in a petri dish and put a mesh cover over it and let them attach on their terms Link to comment

I was told tight enough to hold them in contact, loose enough that it doesn't actually put pressure. Link to comment
