Yup, more professional. Heee

Yup, more professional. Heee

I thought they didn’t allow name changes. You’re lucky I guess :D

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Now I'm in big leagues, with success of my children of the sea. I promise, ,I won't forget all the little people made this possible. Heeee

Beautiful!!!! Feed those babies!!! Give them something meaty and they’ll get great PE. I’ve noticed chunks of squid and octopus go well.

BTW, it seems you’re trying to outdo me now. I may have to go get a new colony. :eek: ;Hilarious

That’s why I won’t keep them either. I have weighed it forever. Still thinking in fact. Maybe I will use that nano I have tucked away... ;Meh

It was a joke, I have 3 large ones, 3 or 4 babies and a chili. :)
... because they said I couldn't do them in a mixed reef, they are open nearly all day and get target fed once a day. :)
I have a few gonis as well. :)

Oh nice. You can do it. But perhaps it’s trial and error. Do you feed them often? Are the gonis photosynthetic? I really want one of those but can’t find healthy ones. Most LFS set it and forget it.

They get fed once a day but I have an engineer goby so there are bits in the water column.
I feed frozen once a day also which has lots of fine bits in.
I have 4 different gorgs, all nps.
