bamsickle Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Sounds like a green clown goby. Here's a pic of one of mine. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...?threadid=42486 Link to comment

Dr. Saltwater Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 The green clown goby (Gobiodon atrangulatus) is a carnivore so it eats on meat. Try to give it meaty teats like brine & mysid shrimp. Link to comment
abernier Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 would that all be frozen food? what kind? Link to comment
Dr. Saltwater Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Living & Frozen is both oK Try to vary Link to comment
bamsickle Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 When I first brought him home, I tried to squirt the food in the area he was hiding. Now I just dump it in and he comes out if he's hiding. Most of the time he's out hopping around tho. I use frozen mysis or brine. I cut off a piece, put it in a dixie cup and add a little tank water to thaw it. My turkey baster is one of my best friends when it comes to my tanks. B Link to comment

heffe1st Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 six line wrasse correct? if so watch for his attitude toward any new fish in the tank.... I added some gobies to my tank before .... ( yellow watchman ) and the wrasse attcked the crap out of them almost the instant the fish hit the substrate ! I love those little wrasses but I took mine out of my 29 gallon reef due to his poor attitude ! Heffe Link to comment
