    Just got off the phone with the LFS and they are going to call me when they get a 6-line in and give me credit for the green mandarinn goby.

    Glad it worked out for you. You'll love the 6 line. They are so entertaining.

    Just be careful six lines can become downright nasty especially in a small tank.:angry:

    I was just checking out the Green mandarin goby and he was nipping at the flatworms. What is everyones opinion on a 6-line in a 29 gallon nano cube.

    Mine is in a 95 gallon so I don't know anything about 6 line aggression but I do know the Firefish are very spooky and will hide if it is being harrassed and you may not see the firefish except on occasion.

    What are the chances the Mandarin will eat all the pests before getting taken back to the LFS? If so, problem solved.

    I like the way you think Codee111. That would be cool. I have already siphoned 3 seperate times today and got probably 100 or so.

    Wow...that is a lot of them. Be careful you don't take out too much of the water. You don't want to kill the beneficial bacteria trying to get those critters out.

    I am using an airline tube so not that much water, maybe half a gallon. I am going to set up a light tonight since they are attracted to light and see if I can get a bunch of them together.
