Really, I talked to this teacher at my school, who is a Marine Biologist/15 Year Reefer, who said that it is a planktonic form. Maybe my teacher is wrong...Or maybe it was the way i digested the information.

Maybe he ment the fry feed on planktonic foods. Which would explain why the fellow you know was not able to keep them any longer than two weeks, because planktonic food is not readily available in a closed system. They very well might have starved.

Never the less, breeding them in my tank is unlikely, with carnivorous corals and fishes that would mistake it for a small shrimp.

I don't think he has much of a problem with cultivating planktons in his system Being that he has over 1000 Gals total water volume.

Why no surviving fry? Enigmatic Mandarins...

OOoohhhhh Aaaahhh! I like the yellow watchman. I had a sailfin shrimp goby who died misteriously anyone have trouble with them? Or hints for keeing them alive?

D12monkey 04-28-2005 08:17 PM

Don't know why? He's trying to figure it out.

Awesome yellow watchman goby shot! :cool:

lwhite2 - Never kept a sailfin shrimp goby before. Although I'd really like to get a shrimp goby, preferably a yashi, paired with a pistol shrimp one day.

Wow! I've never seen a black lion before. I've been wondering when you were going to post some pics. Awesome fish. Great angle.

D12monkey 04-30-2005 11:03 PM

As you can see I'm starting to figure out the camera. :D

Going to start another tread one of only marco pics. I think that'll be :cool: .
