Lisa- I ordered a new shrimp goby to replace the one the LMB killed, a new pygmy angel and the fish that didn't make it was a blue reef chromis. I actually sent an email to SWF reguarding my dissapointment in the fishes condition when it arrived- it had a few scaleless patches on it's body- IMO shouldn't have been shipped to me in the first place. It seemed OK when I started the acclimation process but it had died about 4 hours after arriving. I emailedthem again asking for a credit rather than a replacement since I am now leary of another chromis from thi siste after seeing it's condition. Still no response from either communication.
Would you ever consider a shrimp/goby pair? I just love them both- the new goby and Big Dig (my shrimp) have paired up already.
So fun to watch. How is your daughter doing? Does she still want to start a tank for herself? Been diving anywhere goo lately?
FM,
Sorry about your chromis...I know how that feels...yucky!! I haven't even considered a shrimp/goby pair in my tank because at the moment we are still enjoying Scampi, our coral banded shrimp. It's my understanding that he won't get along with other shrimps...that's the way it goes.
I have however, been considering a royal gramma...what do you think? Will she be able to keep up with my street gang? 'Course, I would have to find one that's been at the LFS for a while, and that might be a challenge. And more to consider yet, will she get along with my angel, who's been in the tank for quite a while now and has herself established??
My daughter is doing great (as always...she's just a really great person). I think that she's beginning to rethink starting up a tank of her own, mostly because of the money. She and her husband are planning on starting family soon, and well, she is rethinking her priorities. Maybe somewhere down the line.
I took a vacation during the first week of August, and my husband and I went to stay at a hotel not far from the little lake that we frequent diving. We are very good friends with the guys at the dive shop there. Well, long story short, we actually laid down a really awesome dive training area that looks just like a patio underwater.We gathered tons and tons of large, flat rocks and pieced them together to form a patio. Everyone's calling it the "training patio", and so far the instructors are just LOVING it!! It really cuts down on new divers kicking up a lot of silt and other stuff. It's about 15' x 15" (so far) and in about 25' of water. I know, that probably doesn't sound like that much fun...but I can't believe how much fun it was!!!
That's it for now. Hope to hear from you soon, I'll be checking.
