Where u got ur baby shrimps from? think baby shrimps are only available in seasons well, Hummm..... it depends. I'll get whichever is good,healthy and at the right price........ And of course to my likings

Last but not least, got to consider the space for both as they do expand to some great sizes if the conditions are good in the tank

[fishtalk1517]

might wanna sell the 6line to other reefers or can pass to me ar I starting a fowler tank for other fishes, like angels and non coral reef safe fellow

[WaNeR]

[jacobus]

[jacobus]

photos of the shrimp ah ... have ... but not very clear ... as for the location hor ... cant tell u leh ... only can show u how to get there ... any bro's looking at my thread have any experience in shrimp cultivation ? wish to supply him a small population to try out ... its better if he can cultivate and sell ... rather then too many people harvesting the wild ones ... dun want to wipe out the whole population at that area ... so even if i can describe .. dun think i will ... but dun worry bros colin, cjh, ,kenneth and sis waner ... since u asked i will show u the place ... just mebbe try not to tell other ppl ..

haha am i being too paranoid here ? will it be possible for us to wipe out the population there ?

as for pics i will try to put it up tml ... cheers !

[WaNeR]

dun worry, its not possible for us to wipe out the population there

fish n other stuff will eat them as well

[cjh]

you got my msn right???

tell me when you free leh... i very free as i can take leave( leave haven clear yet...)

[KennethK]

Wipe out not likely. But only afraid we ruin their habitat which is not bery nice.

a not so recent FTS...

note the bad cyano problem on the sandbed.

[jacobus]

the power of one goby...

goby and my two spot hogfish included

[jacobus]

its amazing how hardworking the goby is ... within 3 days .. all the cyano on my sandbed disappeared .. anyways... i was thinking of adding new stock into my tank ... will hold back on the corals for now ..

current stock is :

two spot hogfish

seagrass filefish( reefsafe )

tomato clown

2 chromis

white watchman goby

blue-and-gold blenny

thinking of adding:

purple firefish

red scooter blenny

banded possum wrasse

anyone see any potential aggression ?? should i not add anything ?

note: my system is a 2ft cube.

[jacobus]

how ? anyone got any advise if the fish im planning to add will face any problems ? keepers of the two-spot have any experience on agression ? i heard they can be quite territorial ?... i personally seen it chase fish away when they piss him off by snatching his food... tts all ..

[jacobus]

finally some free time to upload some pics.. hope i don't bore u guys with my average setup and not so exquisite fishes...

my 2 fav fish !

i apologise for the scratches and water stains on the glass..

[jacobus]

new addition on sat ! went down to IWARNA..

[jacobus]

why does my torch's tentacles look wierd ? is this normal ??

[jacobus]

another recent addition ! hope this poor fellow does well ... he looked extremely thin where he was ... hope this liberation into my tank will give him a better life..

[jacobus]

[jacobus]

any comments people ?

any comments people ?

nice LR stacking. i can never achive such hight when stackin mine.

would it be too late if i say that if your back glass tank to add or paint color?eg ocean blue,dark blue or black? imho, the back ground color can gv more "the depth look" to ur tank n at the same time the LR can be more err how to say..."stand out" or looks more natural?
