LoL...all pistols are born to dig..

The pistol about 1.5X larger than the yellow watchman. I don't find pistols any threatening. Except for their ability to destabilize rockwork. Anyway, my female sri lankan pistol releasing larvae soon. Can see the eyes of the fry under her swimmeretts.

Look what my purple firegoby did to my firegoby....

If you do not have enough infauna in your sand bed, an alternative would be to supplement them with sinking pellets.

Looking for the above to host my shrimps. Preferably with skeleton diameter less than 5cm. Pm me..thanks.

They consume food thru the central opening and expel waste thru there as well.. Different anemones have different preferences for different sized foods. Carpet anemones can take larger food items. Bubble tipped anemones take smaller planktonic sized prey. Different anemones also have difference preferences for their substrate. Some like to burrow in sand, some like to attach to rock. You gotta identify the anemone you are trying to keep before you can find out their requirements.

My new goby resident... reminds me of yummy chocolate.

Lots of 'pom pom' crabs at eAquarist..also lots of ###### shrimps (thor amboinensis). Some unique shrimps (the 'helicopter' shrimps in my tank section)

Eaquarist : orange spotted gobies, pink banded gobies. And twinspot sandshifting gobies (broad orange bars).. Also...left one wheeleri (i got the other one ) Teenie weenie watchman gobies with paired pistol.

Hmm..got difference between bizarre and exquisite meh? Anyway...just got a pink banded goby and a wheeleri from eAquarist. The wheeleri is absolutely beautiful...pics don't do it justice. Oh yes..they have pairs of yellow watchman and pistol. Ever seen a 1-2cm long yellow watchman?

Guess I will drop down later...was gonna do a medicated dip for one of my yashias...the breathing seems rather heavy...suspected gill parasites..anyway..guess I will have to do that later..it went hiding after it escaped my net..

and.....? Dun keep us in suspense leh...

Hmmm..just wondering..are those discoma or rhodactis? Someone enlighten me? They look more like rhodactis to me....

Check these out.. Discordipinna sp.1 Stonogobiops dracula

The nicer one is the zebra catalina goby... Lythrypnus zebra!

No need to be paranoid...my ###### shrimps go 'missing' every now and then. They always end up around the same spot during the day.

Check your kH. If it is too low it will affect your skimmer efficiency.

I shall elaborate...If they are fed daily, more than what exceeds what they can handle, their nematocysts will mostly be fired. Replacment of nematocysts uses up alot of energy reserves from the anemone, so does digesting the food matter. Considering that most anemones have already lost significant amounts of nematocysts by the time they reach LFS (thats why some just don't feel 'sticky'), I don't suggest so much feeding at first. You'll end up stressing it more. You'll actually be doing it good if you were to starve it and let it rely on photosynthesis to regain back its health before you start feeding. I would go with 1 meal a week. That would be sufficient.

Wow...wish I had a cam like yours.... Anyway...is the yashia at the bottom the male? The one with the dots on the ventral fins? Mine the dots are red...not black.. Maybe as long as got dots should be male?

If you overfeed it, it will die.

Wow...hehe..okie..nvm..will wait for the next shipment..no hurry..

Nice rockwork..love your caves. Anyway..the pistol is Alpheus randalli. Very colorful shrimp.

Yep..I was there around 3.30++... No more when I arrived already...only left hectori

1. Sun Coral 2. Corallimorphs (Too strong light will actually shrink or burn them) 3. 4. 5.

Was down at PR today..wanted to get the goby..but no more by the time I reached...so I got a pair of these shrimp instead.. They are in front purple rhodactis if I'm not wrong..that was wat Henry told me..
