Very sure it's not. This one is only 2cm long.

Yellow banded Damsel? Not sure if it is. Kite Butterfly finally eating live freshwater worms.

Still trying to get a damsel, dark coloured one, when it's young, it has a blue spot and blue lines at the head. Just for info, you can get some yellow tail damsel fish at the labrador jetty during day time. Go to the far end of the jetty, use small hooks and drop line near the jetty pillars.

Anything i feed it with. Very greedy. Eats blood worms, flakes, shrimp meat. Occasionally i will feed it live food.

It has moved from my 1ft when it was very small to my current 2ft and in a month's time when my 3ft has completed the cycle i will move it there. When it gets too big i will either let it go or ask if anyone wants it.

Batfish, been with me for 3 months. Has grown 4 times since i added it and not a clear picture, Sargent Major added also about 3 months ago.

can we be sure the sea water shops get are not from our local beaches? I visit Labrador very often for fishing and i have seen lots of people going there to get sea water, and it's by the truck load. Of course these people could be from sea food resturants, i'm just saying it's possible sea water sold in shops are from local beaches.

Instead of catching it, is there some other special food that i can feed it with or encourage it to eat?

Tried to catch it out but cant, eat time net go down, it goes into hiding. I have a bad feeling it will starve to death very soon. Sigh....

Correct it's the Parachaetodon Ocellatus. it's picks at the blood worms and then spits it out. It's swimming naturally, not stressed and constantly looking at the corals, just not eating what i am feeding it.

Hi any advice? My batfish, rabbit fish, gobies and damsels are eating what i give them, but the butterflies are not. I have tried dead brine shrimp, live brine shrimp, live small prawns, dead finely shredded prawns, blood worms, tubiflex ( spelling?) worms, shredded fish meat, nothing works. any thoughts?

Yeah very small hooks. both gobies are about 10 cm long. try east coast near mac. cast out about 60 meters. prawn meat as bait.

Got it with my fishing rod. Very hard to find these fishes along the shore line.

I caught this at east coast beach. Looked it up in the reef fishes book and the closest match i got it "Singapore Shrimp Goby" It has a pink banded body with white/blue spots on the face and light yellow fins. I caught an even prettier one at changi same body structure but black with no bands but bright blue dots all over.

These are my 2 Gobies, they are always together in the same hole...never fighting. Wonder if they are a mated pair.
