Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

Yah I have a 3 PVC's stacked up in a little pyramid right now, but he hasn't really discovered them yet.. I'm sure he will though. He was super bright at the LFS, I had been watching him for the passed 2 weeks, and hasn't showed any signs of illness. So thats good. I had the LFS guy feed him before I bought him, but I couldn't get him to go after any food tonight.. He looks so scared, I feel bad for the little guy . I have had the lights cut off, so hopefully he'll relax and get some of that yellow back.

I forgot to add in my update.. But I bought a cleaner shrimp a few days ago. Prior to buying him I did a lot of research about its compatibility with my pep shrimp, because I was afraid my pep might pick on him. It seemed like it works out okay for most people, and I felt I had plenty of rockwork for them to each have their own little "area". Then I had the LFS assure me they're wouldn't be any problems (for whatever thats worth, yall know LFS's lol). Sooooooo sure enough, I wake up the morning after I had gotten him and my pep is snackin on him in his little cave lol. I might as well have flushed 12 bucks down the toilet. In the back of my mind, I knew it wouldn't work, but I was being optimistic. My pep is a fiesty SOB. He tries to get after my hand when I'm in the tank cleaning lol.... Well lesson learned. The pep does a great job on little aiptasia I have here and there, but I'd rather have a cleaner for their fish cleaning tendencies. So I'll be bringing the pep back to the dude I bought it from and investing in some joe's juice or something.. ohhhhhhhh well. Thought I'd share that with yall haha

 

Give the YWG time it will start eating a day or two. Congrats on the new add.

 

congrats on the new additions btw pics of the goby are a must especially when he colors up oh and don't worry I follow your updates lol, once I have a tank worth of beeing seen I will update it often as well keeps things interesting lol

 

Thanks yall!

I still couldn't get the YWG to eat again today, he's still pretty sketched out I assume. Although, his color has returned slightly today so that's good. Hopefully in the next week or so he'll brighten back up to the norm. I'll be sure to post a pic of my little buddy once he's in the DT lookin good! Do yall have any idea's how I can get the little guy to eat? I have to admit, I'm a little worried about him. Do you think it's just the stress from the move?

Thanks guys

 

So I spent like an hour and a half today attempting to catch my pep shrimp, and was very unsuccessful lol. I took a gamble and decided to try another cleaner shrimp, I got a bigger one this time.. So hopefully if they get in a fight, the cleaner will win this one lol

My shipment from mr coral came in today! I love they're $10 section, they have some beautiful corals, and some great deals. I got 2 different mushrooms, one is bright green (a freebie) and the other is blue and orange.. Then an awesome looking ricordea, I'll be sure to post a pic when it colors up more, anddd a blue and green sympodium frag, then a blue Monti w/ red and green polyps. Correct me if I'm wrong on the monti though.. Here's a few pics, I'll remind u all I have for pics is my iPhone, and it just doesn't do justice..

 

Congrats very nice adds, I believe you have a rainbow monti there.

 

Ahh yess, I just checked out a few pics on google, that's exactly what it looks like. I can't waittt till it starts to spread!

 

Cool, those are nice. I never had sympodium, but I really like it when I see it in others tanks. Great monitopora as well. I think I am jealous.

 

I like the star, nice tank buddy.. I'll keep an eye out

 

Really nice adds/tank congrats!
