nyvw's 55g build Updated fts 11-13

Got a yellow headed goby about 2 weeks ago!! Hes been having a tough time though the guy at my lfs said as long as i had live rock i should have plenty of pods..well see... So far hes doing ok but has a little ich which has heen showing signs of improvement. Also, i had a pink hawaiian crab in there!! Im taking it back though, even with it being fed silversides every night he still finds the appetite to eat other inverts, such as my coral banded shrimp. Most expensive meal he wil ever eat. Ugh

 

Recently took these with my phone.

 

FTS

 

Awesome! Less than 2 months, the rocks are covered with coralline!!!

 

yea there all green! lots of purple spots also! most noticable is the powerhead has alot of purple spots on it..

 

im trying to think of what my next fish might be.. i really want something that will swim around alot and not hide like the goby.. how are coral beautys? My lfs has one they seem pretty active and very corfull..

Currently i have 2 oc. Clowns, sleeper goby, cbs, pistol shrimp, various cuc members..

 

Ive been always scared of any angel fish to put in my tank. They might pick at your corals.

 

oh yea i definitely dont want that.. what about some firefish? they seem pretty cool. Or i was thinking about a trio of chromis but after seeing that almost every thread about them is about how they kill each other.. idk

 

If you do go with the firefish make sure you have some kind of top on the tank to prevent them from jumping

 

my blue reef chromis are the best thing i put in my tank they are awesome! i read that if you have a shy fish (like your goby) they will make him more social. also your clowns might school with them. kind of neat to watch how they bring your tank into a "family"
are you still thinking of a snowflake? if so id advise against it with the fish you have. esp the goby. that was the first thing mine ate...then a firefish. then one of my chromis then a tilefish. i highly advise if you want an eel. give him his own tank.
