Hmmm..awesome fish...do try to resize your pic before you attach it next time. Resize it using the stretch/skew option in ms paint.

[shoelevy]

Wat do u feed this guy?

[shoelevy]

hur hur...its only a few days so i'm not sure if my method works well.

but i juggle between brine shrimp and tubifex.

but it usually spends its time pecking live rocks.

i've seen it!....real cool....it eats copepods and small shrimps on the rock.

only eats tubi and brine when it desperate or stumble across accidentally

[reefer guy]

copepods.... ur tank must be reach in copepods else it will starve to death...

[shoelevy]

this fish actually thrives on brine shrimp when it is desperate. i read on the internet that copepods feed on phytoplankton so i try to help the goby by feeding the copepods to get them to multiply. i feed the copepods aquapharm coral food which has a lot phytoplankton that copepods feed on. the food is also good for corals as well as my tubeworms.

the website for the copepods is http://bioweb.uwlax.edu/zoolab/Table_of_Co...od-copepods.htm

hi people, i'd like to apologise for quoting the wrong name for this fish.

went scouting at the library and found that its name is the spotted mandarin dragonet....not goby.

its of the dragonet family
