Hi, My parents recently purchased this Mandarin from an LFS that is known for pests in my books. My parents picked it up and decided to surprise me with it on Sunday. I closely examined the fish before it entered the tank and it didn't have any visible diseases. I did a normal acclimation, I let...

So i already starting to buy everything i need for my easy low tech tank set up. I already bought a 60*30*30 cm(24*12*12 inch) tank, waiting for lamps to arrive, and also looking for tank gear in LFS'. For rock I'm going to use live tank rock and sand. Sand and salt will be from Aquaforest...

Hi all, need some advice please. I have an aquaone aquareef 300. Current sand dwellers include 5 cerith snails and a sandsifting starfish (which is well over a year old and thriving). My question is, I really want a diamond goby, but will it compromise the starfish? When aquascaping I tried to...

I’ve just bought a watchman goby and a pistol shrimp. They’re the only 2 creatures in there aside from a few corals and a hermit crab. They’ve dug a pretty extensive network of caves all under the rocks. I now kind want to move them rocks or add another rock, will they be okay? Should I go about...

My yellow watchmen goby has been in my tank for over a year now, and the past 2-3 weeks he hasn't come out as much and I havnt seen him eat. Today I saw him for the first time in about 6 days. I had feared the worst that he had passed away and his pistol shrimp partner had eaten his corpse. But...

Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get a watchman (or any kind) goby and pistol shrimp to dig at the front of the tank? I'm getting a Red Sea Reefer 750 and I'd hate it if they end up at the back of my tank and I never get to see the pair...

I got 2 bluestreak sleepers about 1-3 weeks ago. Suddenly my girl sleeper (Thinking its a girl, She looks like one a lot!) went hiding. These 2 sleepers are mated, and sleep together. Yet when I try looking inside their little burrow (under a rock) the boy goby always runs back and hangs out...

So I have this pair of gold head gobies. Is there a way to tell which is male and which is female? Typically I would guess the larger one with the brighter colored head is the male? I’m planning on feeding copepods regularly and my substrate is a few inches deep so I hope they’re happy. I’m not...

Hey all, this is my first time starting a post but figured I'd look for some feedback on my reefing plan. My current fish stock is 2 snowflake clowns, tanaka's pygmy wrasse, and a tailspot blenny. Plus a cleaner shrimp and small clean up crew. I plan on getting sexy shrimp and a goby. Possibly...

Pair at my LFS made me have to get them
