Finally got a fish for my 14gl

flricordia · 08-09-2007, 09:13 PM

Took some time to find the perfect fish for my 14gl. This little guy is only 1" but has plenty of personality and is quite spunky. I think it is the most expensive fish I have ever bought for its size.

Very cool find

ooo, he' pretty! What is he, a type of goby?

Cassette87 · 08-09-2007, 11:15 PM

Very nice! I absolutely LOVE your tank!

Awesome tank! Love the new fish.

Forget the fish...that tank is gorgeous.

Everyone is too kind. It is a redhead goby. A LRS gets them from time-to-time and I have considered getting one, but they have always been priced at near the $50 mark. When I stopped by yesterday they had dropped the price a bit, so I got it.
It is pretty active and has already fed on brine shrimp and mysis. It also comes to the front to check me out and doesn't retreat when I approach.
I have a large Caribbean pistol shrimp in the tank already, but I don't believe the shrimp will bother the goby. It's not a shrimp goby type.
The LFS gets one redhead in at a time and keeps them in with some larger fish, tangs and such-nothing that preys on smaller fish, and it is comical watching these little guys holding their own at feeding time.
