Can a mod please remove the part of my title that says (new barnacle blenny pic's Jan 29) Thanks.

Got some new friends and new pic's

Blue stripe pipefish


Red spotted goby


New green brain coral which I got a sweet deal on because it was mislabeled at the store


pic of my green birdsnest, which I added to the tank for my green clown goby to host in, which he ignores of course.

Branacle blenny in his home. After moving all around the tank the first week I had him, he found a spot on the top arch way rock, and this has been his home for awhile now. Very glad I epoxied that rock into place.

Ya the dumb bristle worm did get him 2 days after I added him to the tank. Freaked me out cause there was a lot of bristles in Barny's mouth and he couldn't eat. However after 2 days all the bristles were gone and he was fine. Thankfully in his new home there aren't any bristle worms around him.

Finally the pic you've all been waiting for

Yasha with candy cane pistol shrimp (you can actually see him in these pic's)





I had been taking a pic of the new red spot goby when I saw the pistol out and quickly got these pic's before he went back into his cave.

Thought I'd give a bit of an update. First off my frogfish is still alive but he still is floating around and not eating frozen anymore, broke down and got chromis for him to eat (one a week) the past 2 weeks he has been eating them Don't really feel good about it but I couldn't sit around and watch him starve.

On a happier note here's some pic's from the 34g cube

Peek-a-boo


My newest goby a green banded goby

Those gobies are cute beyond description! Haha.

Sorry to hear about the frogfish. Such a cool fish. Hope he pulls through. ... Have you thought about mollies for food? There's this store in Calgary, dunno maybe you've heard of it already, that sells SW acclimated mollies for this purpose.

Doug brought some coral up so I thought I'd post pic's however I was lazy and the glass isn't as clean as it should be

Ya that totally sucked. I do plan on getting another one though, just have to wait a bit.

Unfortunately he died about a month ago. I posted it in another thread but forgot to mention it here.

After my experience and from hearing about others not having much success with frogfish I doubt I will ever try one again. Any frogfish would definitely eat wrasses. I saw film of a frogfish eating a lionfish in the wild, it was pretty crazy to watch, they are a species that need a tank to themselves.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard that they'll eat anything that'll fit in their mouths. The only tank I have that I could put him in where he'd be the smallest occupant, he would probably get eaten (I'm "fish sitting" a stonefish, and I've no doubts he would eat the frog at the first opportunity).
