My nano 4 ft

[DeepBlue]

bro fuel

are these easy to rear?

wat i mean is that mine also mia after a few days

jaz like my doctor fish

thats why give up on them

but i hope yr advice can bring bcak my interest

cheers

rainfordis will thrive better in tanks that are more season..preferably with a bit of detritus buildup....a young tank is not suitable for these guys

Saw Fuel's tank before, been around for quite a while ...should be OK...

My tank is near to 2 years liaoz....so my rainfordi is doing alright

(keeping fingers' crossed everyday..)

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..

[FuEl]

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

[FuEl]

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

[FuEl]

Haix..something is irritating the gills of my female yashia. Has been going on for 3 days so far already. Appetite still there. Gave it a slight hyposalinity treatment yesterday with some Aquamedi Befuran...put it back in the tank..still did'nt help. Somehow its ailment was recognised by the cleaner shrimp just now..the yashia slimpy opened its operculum to the approaching cleaner shrimp...and the cleaner shrimp grabbed onto something in the yashia's gills and actually propelled backwards trying to RIP the darn foreign thing out. Unfortunately its attempts were futile..my yashia is still breathing heavily. Have no damn idea what the heck is irritating its gills.

Face off between my 2 newly acquired gobies..pink bar goby and wheeleri.

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

let me adopt it la kidding2 so i guess purplefirefish n red firefish cannot mix. tought of having a pair

[FuEl]

They were getting along fine at first..until the purple one grew slightly bigger..then the aggression started to show..

Anyway..pic of these 2 shrimps..did'nt take note of the scientific name..gotta check it out from books...they are heliofungia commensals..now hunting for one small small plate coral for them..

THe Pink Bar doesnt look as nice when they are in the sea...

[FuEl]

Hmmm..pistol count in my tank?

Paired Alpheus bellulus, 1 alpheus randalli, 1 alpheus soror, 1 alpheus bisincicus (???), 1 alpheus parvirostris.

did u see any of them fight?

[FuEl]

Hmmm..okie..let me know...hehe..just got pocket $$...maybe tomorrow go hunt for a small heliofungia..then can get alot of these shrimp mass or*y in the plate coral..

[FuEl]

did u see any of them fight?

Hmmm...did'nt notice..they might squabble..but they wun go all the way out to kill each other if your tank big enuff...my tank base area is 4ftX1.5ft....so they should have enough territory to sort themselves out. Once they settle at a spot they tend to stay there already.

[Terryz_]

Bro.. Wan to go tml... Pasir Ris Farm...

[FuEl]

Hmmm..give me a call around 1pm? I don't wake up that early nowadays..

[Terryz_]

Going at 2pm like that cos i working... Give you a call first...

[FuEl]

Update on my yashias...the one which is breathing heavily still show no improvement. However, still as alert and feeding like before..

In this picture, the one which is breathing heavily is the one below.
