Yes that is a fish, its a bumble bee goby the yellow and black brackish guys. My lfs brings them in from full salt systems, I have had this one for a while now. They stay so tiny he is 1/2" in size.
I also have 1 crab, 1 algae eating cowrie, 1 nassarius snail
The shrimp is a small one, have had him for 2 weeks now and what personality. Love to eat from the stick when I feed.

I was curious as to how you have it all set up, hearter, filtration, skimmer?, etc. And also how often do you do water changes?

One word "Simple"
I have a nano HOB filter, 15 watt heater, 9" 18 watt 50/50 pc light by coralife.
No skimmer on this tank, to small for that.
I do weekly water changes, daily top ups and rest takes care of itself.e
Its small, alot of fun and colorful. The shrimp adds so much character, love these guys.

Awesome little tank.
What type of light do you use on the tank?

Thanks for the compliments :)
The fixture is Coralife 9" 18 watt 50/50 PC
Great little light, I would not use it for anything bigger than this size of tank but that is just me.

hey please read my new thread anout "picotope" p.s. your tank looks amazing!!!
Hello, thanks for the compliments. I sure love this little tank. Just going to do a water change on it shortly.
I also sent you a private message to email me as well regarding another thread you have going.....

You certainly could have a 3 gal with water and sand coming from your 29 gal. Make sure you have a hob filter on it and a small heater too. My heater is a marineland 15 watt. They are preset to be 78 degrees all the time no adjusting on them.
Keep it simple and you will have a very nice pico.
One other thing I highly recommend is get a glass tank if you can. Plexi like the Tom scratch so easily and are a pain to try and clean. With the glass I just us my blade and its perfect.
Good luck....

Its been running just about 3 months now. It really did not cycle as I took everything from my 10 gal.
