hmm nice torch you got sis    

thanks bro Dispar....looked healthy so it followed me home..... bought this orange spotted sand shifting goby too....made my DSB alot cleaner with it's shifting action. There were 2 left in the tank but when the guy tried to catch them one went missing..... it was nowhere to be seen after that..... I hope it didn't fall into a crevice and got dried up......

Cute fish.....

used to have it too..

but it really loves to dig the sand up....might affect rock sturcture...

but lovely addition!!

thanks bro Ivcap....yes you're right about that.....yesterday found a huge deep crevice at the front of my tank near some rocks..... found my torch on the sand bed and my elegance sunk right into the sand because it tried to dig a hole through it.

thought it would be a good sand shifter , which it did in clearing any detritus that has settled on the top layer but this fellow burrows too deep which is a concern now because of my LR.

There goes another bad choice of picking this species....

[strat]

Still have that sand shifter goby at eaqu*****?

[bubble_gum]

i never liked the idea of sand on my clams.... those sand shifters cam really create a nuisence a sand shifting star IMHO in a safer bet

[lvcap]

i used to keep a pair..

they always swim together...machiam couple like that

but boy..they can create damn a lot of havoc..

but very lovely when they swim together..

planning to get one for my ref...where i converted it into a mini tank full of gobies..so it cant create much havoc....

wouldnt dare to put in main tank already..

I wanted to buy the last 2 that were left but one decided to go to heaven instead but don't worry I think they will bring in more at the end of the week....

I am glad that I didn't get another otherwise all my LR would have crashed by now

I know what you mean bro.bubblegum....the deep crevices are already a concern...

yeah....when I wanted to buy the 2 that were left in the tank , I noticed they would go together everywhere shifting sand in the mouth but again I am thankful for just one.....imagine the havoc if there were 2......

was at reefworld but no sight of lietanent tangs.... beside no more tangs for me.....

[AlfaRomeo]

For sand-shifters, I think can get those rainfordi gobies, excellent sandshifters. or those twin-spot gobies are an alternative. Will not dig too deep holes in the sand

no not yet bro.Ivcap....the orange shoulder that I have is a juvenile (baby) the adult will have split coloration later on in it's transformation.....

hope this goby will stop digging my sand bed....

learned my lesson now...... will never trust this diggers.....

[AlfaRomeo]

Rainfordi does not dig holes but they just shift the top layer of the sandbed.

icic..

tempted to buy one in future....but my tang wish list too long liao..dun know which one to give up..can easily name 10 tangs to acquire but definitely not practical in a 5feet tank....

and still battling ick with my coralife UV...

wonder when i can have a ick free tank...

[that was niceeeee]

ivcap sone your tnak will be ich free... mine free liao... but once add tang,again got ich..

[lvcap]

whaha

like that not really ick free..

mine always kenna on 3rd day going into 4th day..

just like roidan and his AT..if i dun remember wrongly...kenna on 4th day..

admire those who can keep tangs healthy......

[that was niceeeee]

yeah lo... 4th day will surely get ich... but if feed garlic food on the first day until 4th day will still be o ?

[roidan]

yeah...when i put him in clam tank...4th day appear the spots...i scared infect the rest of the tangs in the main system, put him in toyogo tub...after that move him to a 4ft tank and then feel confident enough than put him back into the main system...and on 4th day in main system, come out white spots again....but after that he just got better and better....till no spots now

thats why i believe there is a low level of infection sometimes in our tanks....which reflects what that was niceeee said...sometimes u think dun have coz other fishes dun have...then u put a new fish in....then it starts to appear again...

so when the new fish finally starts to get used to his environment and eat alot, then that's when it has a real fighting chance against ich..

meanwhile you can only try to keep parameters up and hope the new comer doesnt become a hosting ground for ich which multiplies, regroups for an outbreak for the rest of the fishes.
