| -CHAUVINIST PIG-   | Re: I Want Another Fishy!!!! here is a better pic of the lil guy.  he seems to be adjusting well, always exploring. Bane has himself sealed up, so they have not yet met. the only concern i have thus far is his diet. anybody everhad one of these??? he was REAL skinny when i took him home. He has not shown much interest in flakes. today is the day when i feed cyclops, so maybe he'll perk up to those. he spends a lot of time takin up a mouthfull of sand and filtering it through his gills, (i am assuming that means hes eating something) and pickin stuff off the rocks. Y'all have any other nutritional suggestions?

| -CHAUVINIST PIG- | Re: I Want Another Fishy!!!! well... MY @%#* $%^##@ !()% )$& FISH IS DEAD! AHHHH MAN THIS SUCKS. my cleaner shrimp ate him, but as far as how he died... Bane is out of the question. (he's molting;hence the introductin of a new tank mate) starvation is top of my list. i blatently disreguarded a key "rule" or just good precations in this hobby. i got all uber excited just to see one in colorado.... & didnt verify that he was eating @ the LFS, and i really didnt look at him too well. (i.e. i only noticed he was starving apon introduction to my tank.  )or i guess due to his size, my 3" cleaner coulda done him in... maybe a hermit. but his heads stuck to my korilla which is where my cleaner hangs out. so based on the amount of " Court Jester Goby" in my cleaner's stomach leads me to belive he floated to the korilla as carian. ad nabit. i feel like a real bunghole right now
