New Copperband + Neon Goby

[geckopsu]

Call me paranoid, but it terrifies me to death to think of a diseas outbreak in my tank (especially ich). Luckily when I added a new Copperband Butterfly to my 90g reef, one of my Neon Gobys took right to him. The Butterfly doesn't seem to mind at all, in fact it looks like he enjoys the cleaning. Gotta love those Neon Gobys!

Those Neons are pretty small. I can see how they'd look like a tasty little snack. Luckily my tank mates are pretty peacefull. I've had two Neon Gobys for about a month and a half. Keeping my fingers crossed.

CB looks good but you took quite a risk dumping him right in there - i have personally seen how finicky they are as well as how quickly they can get stressed to deat, icked to death, covered in black ick, etc etc

I acclimated him for an hour but I didn't hospital tank him. I always watch the fish and make sure they eat in the store before I buy them. I could always be more careful (and patient).

wow IMO that is very ballsy - you need to seriously consider quarantining your fish - prevention is the ONLY cure
