Paul, how do you sex jawfish or are they hermaphodites?

Here is the pic as promised, sorry it took a few days. You are also very lucky, this will be my 1000 post.

We did some reaquascaping and added a yasha goby and a pistol shrimp. The pistol has a nice little burrow up front, could not get any pics of them. Yasha is small so tough to place among all the LR. Here is a pic of the cleaner goby instead.

So we broke this guy down. DO NOT BUY PANDA GOBIES, waste of money. So small, trying to find them in a pico is like playing where waldo. They just sit around anyway, no real swimming. We will set this up again at some other point, but not worth it right now.

Have not updated this in a while and there has been some good news and some bad news. Bad News: Lost both of the clams, no idea why both went at different times. They never seemed to attach themselves and then would come home one day they would look terrible and that night an empty shell. Our...

Really nice pictures, thought I would add a piece we pulled out of our 20g. It was hidden on a piece of LR so we could not see it for a while That is my wife's thumb in the picture to give scale

There is a modify button at the top of your post, click on that and you can change it. BTW very clean looking tank, how long has it been setup.

Great job Phil, that is still 19 less fish that will be pulled out of the ocean.

I have ordered coral succesfully online a bunch of times. The only time I ordered fish it was a bit of a nightmare and I doubt I would do it again. We ordered 4 panda gobies which are very small and they shipped them in 4 different bags. One bag was just empty, nothing in there. One bag was...

Considering you are in Jackson you might want to check out Tropiquarium and Reef to Reptiles, they are across the street from each other.

No we bought the lighting fixture.

What about LIFE insurance? ;D

Our acan is also doing well, will get some pics up tonight.

Two sides to every story yadda yadda yadda, but when I look at the other thread and see people like jsantoli, dnov99, Sandee, and adesmione can't keep their fish alive then I am probably going to shy away from the store.

An update and some pics. We bought a new T5 setup so we went from a 4 bulb to a 5 bulb. The bulbs are setup like this back to front: Geismann Actinc+ Geismann 6000k Daylight KZ Figi Pink Geismann 6000k Daylight Geisman Actinic+ All the color bulbs are on what plug and the two daylight bulbs...

We watched tonight, very talented family.

Another note, you generally don't want live rock or sand in a QT as you are giving the parasites/bacteria a place to hang out off of the fish. If you look at QT you will see pvc piping or coffee mugs to give the fish somewhere to hide/swim around which will not harbor bad things.

I agree we have had three since MACNA, again going to reiterate the tank raised point. They eat just about anything and are very peaceful. My wife and I joke that a bangaii's response to anything in the tank is eat it first and then spit it out if it is not food.

We have always kept our cleaner shrimp in pairs, they seem much happier that way and they are hermaphoditic so you don't have to worry about sexing them. Ours are pregnant constantly and releasing their eggs into the tank which the fish love. Fire shrimp are the same way and ours become much...

At first watching them feed is pretty cool, then you do feel like you are doing something cruel. My wife felt the same way as your girlfriend.
