Bro Jervismun,

I suppose you referring to my tank hor. The problem with my previous goby is it refuse to eat, not eat too slow. I 'machiam' put food in front of its mouth but it refuse to open. Sometimes it wont even move away, just stare blankly. At one time, I even tot it is blind. :pinch:

I had enough with yellow goby. :nuke: Also i had a high fin goby, but till now i had not seen its full body yet. I only know its hiding place and can see its head from there.

These 2 kind of gobies are not making me like gobies much, but what to do my tank so small only can afford to put gobies.

Any Bros can recommend me what other fishes / gobies i can have in my tank? Gobies that eat and do not hide will be good. Last resort, i will go beach catch gobies. Those are good. :lol:

Actually Mandarin is nice... I know... blah blah blah... but I bought mine from Irwana, I was there around 6.30pm... feeding time for them and they were feeding Mysis. When I saw my Mandarin eating Mysis, I quickly catch it!!! Mandarin will be a very nice fish for your tank... not costly also... just need to find one that eats well... mine even eat pellets nowadays :lol:

I was really heart broken when I could train my mandarin to feed on frozen.

Died.... as a result.

Really looking forward to the day where my tank can sustain a mated pair.

Monki,

Don't get discouraged. Gobies are 1 of the nicest fishes.

They are suitable for small tanks.

They are colourful & peaceful.

They love to sit on the SB, LR or in the case of yellow gobies - SPS.

Some can stick on the glass like sucker fish.

(those from the beach especially)

They can share burrows with piston shrimps. (aren't they unique)

Some like signal gobies can help clean SB too.

Well, if you wanna give other types of fish a try,

I suggest cardinals loh. U like those mangrove

cardinals but not in season recently leh.

They school and are pretty small which is ideal for

your NC.

Mandarin likes to eat Pot hor, my tanks' Pot is getting so fat.

Yes... it's even better if you can find those that is already feeding on brine shrimp or mysis... that will almost ensure its survival. Since you can't add much LS... why not look around (islandwide) for a perfect specimen? :D All the best to you :)

Look around islandwide? Cannot lah, i don't have car, only my two 'kar'. So far havent been to a lot of the lfs. From memory, only Pasir Ris Farmway, Reborn, PR, ML & Jiereh.

Didnt even go AM before as it is out of the way for me. Many Bros frequent there and i heard nice service.

Very nice tank.. heh may I know if the maintaining is hard? like changing the filters etc? DOes it get all salty and such undernearth the cover? ^_^ Can keep gobies <3

Thanks for your nice comment. Whoa so many questions at one go. Ok....

1) Maintaining is not hard, just needs discipline i would say. Cause i do not use any other equipment so i must do regular water change (about 15%) once a week to maintain water condition.

2) As for filter, i would wash those sponge when i do water change.

3) For the cover, yes salt and water vapour do get deposited there. Just wipe them away lor when u cant stand the mess.

4) Yes can keep gobies. In fact SRC Bros recommend i keep gobies for my 12g nanocube since i can't keep others due to their size and space constraint. 3 to 4 ok i think, depending if you have other fishes. Just take note of bioload.

Whoa ok.. thx for patience in replying.. Heh.. well sounds interesting and good idea for hostel tank. Hmm are u using a skimmer? What i worry is the salt deposition on the top area loh.. Cant stand the mess and I think im allergic to salt haha (eczemas will appear whenever I dip my hand into my tank)

Just nice.. since my tank probably cannot accomodate any gobies :( so the nano would be a superb place for them since they are generally shy <3
