[stevo01]

@NHreefguy brought a sweet mushroom colony over yesterday. Thanks brochacho! Went to Plymouth, got purple acan and sexy shrimp today. Yasha and pistol been hiding since I moved the rock and added the mushroom last night. About to feed tho, so maybe they will come out.

 

[NHreefguy]

Anytime! This tank is turning out to be pretty sweet. Can't wait to see it a few months from now

Added one of my Pagoda's from 20G and a new Gold tipped torch. The Dendro walked into the glass and pulled in. It's fine.

Well done.

I voted and then continued to look down and saw you got the yasha! which i voted for haha! That candycane looking picture with the shrimp and yasha goby woulda been a MUST for me if i were you.. I can't wait until neon dottybacks finally become available to my lfs again so I can have my 1 and only fish for my pico!

The color is spot on. I really wanted a candy cane but my Yasha was already bonded with a tiger. It's still very cool to watch them together.

I put the green Pagoda back in my 20g. The clown goby was hosting it and it's just too sensitive. New additions today are a yumma, a discosoma, zoas, and a 2nd sexy shrimp.

I realized after the pictures I needed to wipe the glass...sorry.

Got a mushroom taking a walk.

Under the blue light this mushroom has a green mouth and skirt. Looks like I'll have 2-3 babies from the move. Also note the hydroids on the rock right in front of the mushroom. Hmm.

I really like how this came out.

Sunkist zoas

Looking good dude. Can't wait to see the new goodies in there!
