    my lawnmower never had any problems with any gobies at all just my kole tang and snails. sometimes when a snail gets in his favorite spot to sit in the rock he will pick it up carry it across the tank and spit it out against the glass.

    Gobies can pick up mean streaks from time to time. Especially when something gets in their territory. My Mandarine gets mad and puffs up when I get my hand near him. He especially gets mad if you get near his female, but don't we all.

    Hey look! It's Dori!! Sorry, I couldn't resist :)

    Hippos are one of my favorite fish but I've never had any luck keeping them. I'm starting to think that my lfs has a "bad" collector `cause it can't be all me! :)

    Congrats on the new addition and good luck with it!

    So far so good she is eating like a pig and grazing on the algae.
    I am feeding her Marine cuisine with garlic added to it, My fish go nuts over it. ;D
    She is getting her veggies from the algae she is grazing on.
    I did some research before getting her and I was surprised to find out that they are one of the few Tangs that veggies are not there main food but it is still part of there diet.... John

    Yup, hippos are one of the few tangs that are "primarily" planktivores...is that even a word? :)
