With how I moved the rocks, there are now 5 beauties visible on the left where the cave is. I think there are still 2 or 3 more in there that are hiding bc I've been a pain in this tank's butt for several months. They will be very happy now that I will be more inclined to keep my hands out of the tank.
I'm sure they will show their faces soon. I need to get some of them, love how they look. But here they cost 2 arms and a leg to buy and the colours are no where near as nice. ohhhhhhh Canada, lol

RFAs for days!
Each one thanks to @RiptideAquaculture
The newest one came in today, the gorgeous red and blue one just behind my bouncy mushroom.

@i cant think I have a question for that fabulous noggin of knowledge of yours!
TSM was able to get a pair of yasha gobies for me in trade for a bunch of the BTAs that came out of Felicia's guardianship. Josh says he was only able to get 2 females. They are currently housed in an 8'' cube together.
If they are indeed both female, will I need to eventually separate them as they mature?
I do currently have 2 large pistols in the tank living happily together.
Would each goby pair separately with each shrimp happily in a 20g? Or would I be better keeping 1 shrimp/goby pair in this tank and placing the other pair in my 55g?

Felicia's current tankmates are the 2 pistols and Lorna the firefish.
 

i cant think

Gobies of all species are hermaphroditic so you could have the pair and one would transition - the one that’s larger will become a female.
As for the pistol shrimps, you may find one will fight the other in the long term however it may not fail as I’ve seen things that shouldn’t occur work and in fact I have several things that shouldn’t work working in my tanks :)

I hope this answers your questions.

Also, I can't see this thread without hearing this in my head

I'm sure Felicia is sweet and wouldn't bother a pod, though!

My nem started hosting yesterday, and with it, came the biting. I, a 6'2 180lb man, yelp and jump every time.

A human sized clownfish would rule the world with an iron fist.
Well, I'm a 5'5" 110lb mermaid, and I yell, jump and usually drop something into the tank and splash myself. Every time, even if it doesn't hurt, she always catches me off guard
