Hi bro,

From your pix, I think you have gotten a Sandperch Parapercis .sp. They are elongated fishes with long continuous dorsal fin, long ###### fin, large mouths with thick lips, small scales, complete leteral lines, and truncate to emarginate tail. Denthic carnivores of small invertebrates and fishes that can be fitted into its mouth. Territorial and haremic.

Sandperches

[prec]

so should i get it out?? its seen working beside my signal goby..

[Gouldian]

If you are thinking of having small fishes and shrimps then you better get it out.

[prec]

nah.. my smallest is nemos... heh.. thanks!!

[monsterz1975]

nah.. my smallest is nemos... heh.. thanks!!

Wow u start to stock up? Nice fish u got .

[prec]

yea.. but no tangs until my tank is more mature..

[Gouldian]

nah.. my smallest is nemos... heh.. thanks!!

Bro, better keep a look out the next couple of days (better safe than sorry), especially the Signal Gobies - they can just about fit into the Sandperch's mouth.

If you notice them missing, you will have to act fast liao.

[prec]

wow.. my signal goby is about the same size as sandperch... it can fit!?~!

[Gouldian]

I really hope not man.

I could not judge the size of both of them through your photos, I can only guess.

Reading from some literatures, the sandperches are bottom feeders of small invertebrates and fishes, I surmise that the highest risk LS in your tank are your signal gobies.

Anyway, hope that all is fine.

hi prec, just wondering, how is your yellow zoos doing?

i have bought mine for close to 1 week, and now only 50% of it is opening. the rest seems to have black tip and the polys not opening. read somewhere but forgot where it is, that yellow zoos are difficult.

any feedback or advise

[prec]

mine's opening up pretty good.. all opening and starting to grow frags alrdy.. maybe its nudis tt u have? try to spot for them.. or u can place it in moderate flow area..

just my 2cents.

[prec]

Gouldian,

Bro thanks for all the information. keeping a strict eye on it since im on 3wks MC!! heh.. my signal goby also covered up his tunnel during sleeping time. guess he knows also..

[powerjaz]

Hi prec! Very nice tank & setup u have der... I'm thinking of changing my 3ft tank... if u don't mind, pls pm me the price of ur tank & also the tank maker's details...

[prec]

updates in the dark:

my longnose hawkfish just grabbed a pistol shrimp and shred it into pieces before swallowing the parts.. great job!!!

my sandperch eats like a pig now.. even steals food from my corals..

*observations carried out using torch light*

[prec]

did some minor rescape of my ugly tank...

[DeepBlue]

lots of potential ....not too steep...so can place gorgeous corals easily
