    Catalina Goby babies

    Ive been away from the boards a while, but this was just to cool not to share. Last summer we bought 2 Catalina gobies to add to our 12 gallon micro-reef, one male, one female, previously not a mated pair. It was my understanding that Catalinas mate in the spring, so I was rather dissapointed...

    OT: What kinda.....

    Our 2 female catalina gobys, are aptly named (brace yourself) Cat and Lina. My wife also named our huge emerald crab Darby (Darby O'gill, emerald Isle... etc...) She sometimes calls our Bangaii Morris, because Hes a very picky eater... (he only eats Zoe soaked shrimp)

    NEED EXPERIENCED ADVICE

    Live rock. What good is a test kit if you dont cycle from not having anough live rock? You dont really need to test untill your 6 weeks out, you can just assume amm is up, trites are up, and trates are non-existant. Every time you add live rock, you WILL get at least a minimal cycle.

    Green Hair Algae

    Phosphates will feed the algae, try going to RO water for a while. When you say that crabs just dont make it in your tank, you always find the bodies? I would try some more, and aclimate them over 1-2 hours. Its really weird that snails are OK and crabs are not... <img...

    Brine Shrimp

    Living in Salt Lake City, I can tell you the brine from the Great Salt Lake are VERY hardy. I usually go net about 50-100 of them once a month or so. I then procede to rinse them in fresh RO water, they dont seem to mind. I then keep them in a 1 gallon jug in the window sill, filled with...
