    This past weekend we added 2 engineer gobies to the tank. The kids named them Bob and Manny after "Bob The Builder" and "Handy Manny". If you have kids you know who these guys are.

    Here's a video of how they earned their names. The video does not have much sound just us talking and adding commentary.

    There are many things about the hobby I like. The best for me is it's a good father/daughter hobby, they love it. The girls are sad when we lose fish, but there are lessons there too.

    those are really cool fish. when they get older I love how their colors change! be careful though, they get REally long and can decimate your sand. hope all o f your rock is stable.

    They are in 75g for now, hopefully we'll upgrade when they grow. The rocks are all on the glass with sand around.
