    Default I'm going to spill the beans

    I have two QT tanks running. I have 4 new fish. I wasn't going to say anything until after they'd come through QT, but I just can't keep it a secret.

    I am now mommy to a Rainfordi Goby, an Exquisite Wrasse, a baby Two-Spot Candy Hog, and a baby Tomini Tang. Please don't yell at me about the tang... I'll explain him in a minute. :p

    The wrasse is doing fabulous! He is such a busy swimmer, and he comes to greet me when I approach the tank! The hog is doing well, too... another busy little swimmer! The goby is proving a bit tricky in QT, as he is a finicky eater. So far, the only thing I can get him to eat is BBS. I am hoping that soon he will expand his palate and try nibbling on some of the frozen tidbits I offer. I have been sorely tempted to put him in the display tank early so he can sift through the sand looking for his choice of buggers. He was a bit shy at first, but he has come to view me being at the tank as a good thing... BBS twice a day has made me a friend!

    Now for the tang. My husband liked him, and I really did to. He's only 2 1/2" now, but can get anywhere from 4-6 inches when grown. I told hubby that there was no way I could get him unless I knew for sure that I would be getting a bigger tank by Christmas. Guess what? He told me to get him! So, the tang is in QT and looking very healthy so far. He is a ravenous eater, tearing up the seaweed (soaked in Zoe, Zoecon, and garlic) and gobbling up any meaty bits he sees. He is so cute as he cruises around, "kissing" the PVC. He is terribly shy, though. He bolts into "his" PVC as soon as I come near. I hope he relaxes a bit so I can enjoy him for longer periods up close!

    I KNOW!!! I broke a cardinal rule! I forgot to mention that I don't have any pics that are worth posting. There's no light on the tank (so everything comes out as a blur), and I hate using a flash through glass. I think I've got an old flourescent fixture in a closet somewhere that I could pop on the QTs for a few minutes.

    Time to go hunting ...

    I'm sorry!!! I lost 2 clown gobies in QT last week, only one day after I got them.:sad5: The fish store had JUST gotten them in when I bought them, so maybe they were over-stressed? I kinda didn't want to say anything about these new guys until later... just in case ya know?

    Please forgive my sneakiness... you know I luv ya Greg!!!:toothy6:

    I was going to say....PICTURES! I still am real interested in the tang pictures, so try to get one of those Tracy! Dave bought me 4 gobies... the green clown, circus clown, neon clown, & tiger clown. I lost the green one after about 3 days , and the circus clown hung around the front of the tank for a short time after we put him in, and then disappeared...never to be seen again! The neon clown (Blue Eyes) & the tiger clown (Ziggy) are happily hanging in there for me.

    I'd love to have another circus clown. They are so cool cause they swim upside down! He was real cute, very light in color looking a little to much like a glass shrimp. It's possible that one of the Seahorse snicked him for dinner by accident. eek! I also want another green one. That's one of my favorites, but these clown gobies are hard to come by. Bummer!

    I had a yellow citron goby named Banana for a very long time. He managed to get himself in the overflow one night. I want another one cause I really enjoyed him. He was one bold banana & friendly.
    Have a Wonderful Day on the Reef!
