Christopher Marks Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Welcome to the community @Geneve! It looks like you're off to a great start with your pico reef, you have quite an impressive coral frag collection going already! Any photos of your banded goby and pistol shrimp? I bet they're quite the characters. 1 Quote Link to comment

I bet they're quite the characters. really hard to take pics of them together lol they are unpredictable. and when they are indeed together out and about, im always not ready with my filter lens. so here’s a snapshot from a video clip. i had to rearrange the rocks because almost all the sand under the rocks have been dug out 3 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Haha good capture, I'm sure they're really tough to photograph! 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So cute I love shrimp/goby combo (sounds like a lunch special). They definitely are landscapers. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

I totally understand. I was out of the hobby for almost 5 years, then I went from having just one freshwater tank to adding 4 more tiny saltwater setups within a few months of each other...lol. All under 10 gallons, haha 1 Quote Link to comment
