Woooo whooooo!!!!!

Any tips on how to get some food to him? After trying to get some frozen food down (which dissolved too fast) I tried a small piece of table shrimp. I got it fairly close to the hole but by then I think I scared him... So pistol shrimp ended up getting it.


Or should I just wait until he comes out?

I would get a turkey baster and gently squeeze some food into his area

Yah I tried doing that but after releasing the food as close to his hole as I could it would just go in the wrong direction. Even with the pumps off.

Keep trying! They arent likely to come out of their area for a meal unless they know the routine.

Got the lights and got them hung! :mrgreen:


Here's a few pics:

Moonlights:

And those wondering about the actual life in the tank... The goby and the shrimp (not paired up :grumble:) seems to be doing fairly well. The shrimp is always making tunnels in the sand and the goby pops out of the depths and grabs the food I put in there every day. So right now I'm pretty happy. :D


These odd color of the lights along with the optical effects of water are really going to test my photography skills...

 

[little_fish]

looks good! and im glad to hear both the shrimp and goby are alive and doing well!

 

[Sir Alex]

Finally! Got some decent pics of my little goby friend.

A couple new friends I picked up yesterday:

I also got 2 peppermint shrimp but they where both like 1/2" long so chances are I won't be seeing them too much...
