EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 And yes I know that two may not get along in an aquarium of this size, but I was just gonna give it a try. I’m adding them into the tank at the same time, so that’s a start. If they don’t, I always have my main tank for one of the clown gobies. Quote Link to comment

I’m just letting the algae grow wild, so I have an ample supply of food when I decide on what crab to get. I want bad crabs, but no one seems to have any😂 Quote Link to comment

I value my time more than that,and its not constructive. I was genuinely interested in the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

I mean it’s not everyday that someone makes a tank that looks as dirty as this😂 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I changed the aquascape of the tank, I made the front more open and I like it better than what it was. It has kinda like two trenches leading off to the left and right. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Grow back macro 🙏 Save ethan from the hair algae! You should toss some pest caulperla macros in there and let it get all jungle 2 Quote Link to comment
TatorTaco Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Tagging along. I’m also setting up a pest/nuisance tank. Getting baddies is harder than expected though since everyone dips their corals to get rid of them first. Cant exactly order many pests online. Ya know? Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment

It’s so annoying. Anytime I order something online, I ask them if they possibly have any hitchhikers to throw in. It’s always worth a shot. Quote Link to comment

Might go back and ask if they could tear some off and I could buy it for the tank. I don’t have super strong light, but it should be enough for Macroalgae like Caulerpa. It’s a cheap 40 dollar light from my LFS. It’s made by aqueon. Led. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Ya it's probably fine I mean a 10 dollar par bulb from home Depot would grow it so I don't see why it wouldn't...it's growing gha just fine! 2 Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ok, so I have an update. The two green clown gobies just came in. They are both the most adorable fish I have ever seen. I’ll try to get a picture of at least one, but they are scared of their own shadow. Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Next week, I’m leaving for a diving camp in North Carolina, how should I keep stuff fed? I might be able to get my girlfriend to come over here and feed them for me 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Ok, so I tried to target feed the little guys frozen brine shrimp, and they were so scared of the thing that they kept running away and weren’t interested. So I put some frozen brine shrimp in the water stream and it’s floating around in the water stream, hopefully if I let them be, they’ll see it and hopefully go after the brine shrimp Quote Link to comment
NaturallyKait Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I feed our YCG small amounts twice a day, I could probably do once but I’m a sucker haha. He really likes the Hikari mysis that’s in the little cubes, it’s really tiny. I just let my son squirt it into the water column and he chases it down and eats, although he’s not scared of the pipette anymore either so I could probably target feed him now. At first he was really skittish and hid when he saw it. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Are these in a QT? I find it easier if you get them taking live foods. (BBS, Copepods and Rotifiers) from a pipette, they will eventually recognise this as food tube. Then when I add frozen (rarely now) I use the pipette to push it down and break it up. The fish sees the pipette and starts ripping into it. (When I havent added too much Xantham Gum) or defrost it and deliver by pipette. Downside to this is if I am target feeding corals then benny thinks it's his food too..... Quote Link to comment
