My newest additions
« on: May 19, 2010, 02:26:55 PM »
Okay so I've been gone a while and figured I'd post up the newest inhabitants to my 60g tank.


This is a McCosker's Flasher Wrasse http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+1378+2648&pcatid=2648


This is a Cave Transparent Goby http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+31+1417&pcatid=1417

Saved up some money and got Three things from Live Aquaria. Which i was satisfied with the way they sent the fish and everything, I liked it and would order again from there if I could. I had another Wrasse that was doing great until it disappeared. I looked everywhere, even under the tank (Usually my dog knows about dead fish under the tank and lets me know, only happened once before) In the end, I think it got harassed and hid,  I cannot find another reason why it disappeared.

Other than that these two have been cool, The wrasse only sometimes does his "flashing" which is when he spreads his fins like in the picture. I've had to put some kind of mesh on top so the Flasher wrasse wouldn't jump out. Also my tank is more lit up then it looks it's just i was struggling with the flash on my Dad's nice camera. (Made everything appear dark)

The Cave Goby is pretty cool but sometimes disappears while your looking at it... cause it's a similar color as the sand, haha. Also i've noticed that at night I used to have a lot of interesting critters come out and chill during the night when i turned the lights off. Now they are all gone... Also the goby is active, almost every time i look for it, it's doing something.

So far after the additions the tank has stayed peaceful and no-violent haha.

Yeah the colors really stand out, but he only does it every once in a while, most of the time his fins aren't flashing, but when he does it catches attention haha.

a very beautiful fish, but like yuou said, they flash on occasion, and i usually dont get a chance to see it in person....  so pictures are what i end up with... hehehehehe


and like you know, a mesh cover is mandatory... as they not only jump, but fly out of the tank... like straight up then right angle and over... very good jumpers...


but, when you getr the community like you like they are a great addition...


NO MORE FISH TANKS FOR BILLY BOY!!!!

pretty fish!

one way to get the fish to display more often, as well as keep its coloration (they tend to fade) is to place a mirror on one side of the tank.  the fish will think there's another male in its territory.  you don't have to keep the mirror there 24/7, just use it every so often.
