So far nothing had changed with this tank, Im probably going to pick up some sexies if I can find them anywhere.
What do you suggest I drop in there Aquariumgirl?

From what I have read about these gobies they do not do very well in our tanks unless you plan to run a cooler tank. They come from Catalina Island region around LA so they are used to a cooler temperature. If you go to Steve Weast's cold water tank he has them in there and they are very cool but not for a typical marine tank.

Well I finally decided on an inhabitant for this tank.
I picked up a green mantis shrimp today. He is quite small, I have yet to get a pic of him. So stay tuned.

I just dropped 2 little tiny hermit crabs into the Mantis tank.
Well the carnage was instantaneous. He began smashing the second one of the crabs came out of its shell. The second was soon to follow.

some more pics of my mantis

This a very nice little damsel which I also placed in the mantis tank. I know its a risk, and the mantis watches the damsel like a hawk. I feel the fish is fast enough to stay out of harms way. I am sure the inevitable will happen though.
