Unfortunately I had the same experience : ( I bought a pair for my 150... I loved them!! Probably my favorite fish to watch. Then one went missing... then the other. I thought my Brittle Star got the first one but then he showed up decomposed. A week later... the second went missing and hasnt...

Well tonight I picked up a Goat fish... put him in the tank and the tang was after him!! Anyone experienced this before? The yellow tang had been very shy up to this point. Well I know one thing... he doesnt like Goat Fish! Chased him non stop everywhere... once I figured out it wasnt gonna stop...

A cautionary tale about taking peoples word for it. Well you know how people say... "Dont believe everything you read"... well in this case... I should have believed it. Green brittle star fish (serial fish killer): "One species in common use warrants a statutory warning. This is the Green...

I have a Diamond goby... he burrows in the sand every night. But never has sand on him while out. If he looks stuck... help him out. If he is just hanging out... nothing to worry about.

Wow.. this thread DOES keep going. So far so good... these guys dont stop. Tunnels... mountains...rescaping... dont really care... I can watch these guys all day... they are highly entertaining.

I dont have a camera here right now but thats exactly what they look like. I have read about the jumping thing... in fact they both almost jumped out when I put them in. Then they decided to go to work... they havent stopped yet. I need to leave... but I cant stop watching them!! They weren't...

Well I was having a bit of a problem with some dirty sand... read some posts and decided to go get two Diamond Gobies for my 150. All I can say is WOW!! WOW!!! These guys cleaned up my sand within 2 hours!! Pretty amazed... and they look pretty cool too.

Originally Posted by Raccoon Looks good so far! I have a 150 also. I would get about another 50 pounds of rock to help your fish out and filter the water too. Try and find uncure rock which is way cheaper and just cure it yourself which takes a few weeks. I would also get 2 more pumps for...
