Starting fresh

[Joshua Hurst]

Nice! I've been thinking about yasha goby

Adding a goby and shrimp pair. Decided on the yasha goby and a candy cane pistol shrimp.

Currently drip acclimating them now. Then they will go into a breeder net basket to hopefully pair up.

I had a yasha when I started my tank, and I didn't really love it's behavior :/ if either of you get it and feel that way; the diamondback goby is a great cleaner, and has a neat personality! At least mine does

Sweet! Maybe they will have a baby.

I had 2 beautiful clams. They looked so healthy, and then one day I come home, and one is shriveled so far up in his shell, and then a month latter the other dies too. Im assuming it was because my tank isn't very mature(1 year), and I was told not to feed clams. (How do you feel about feeding clams?)

I'm pretty sure you have to feed clams, they ate filter feeders...they do use light but they also need to be fed..

Many reefer actually don't feed their clams, because food can get caught between them and their shell and it's bad i guess. Haha I'll prolly feed on occasion if try a clam again

They don't take the normal food....they eat like fuel or phyto...brine shrimp, small pellets... lol filter feeders are so picky these days lol!

I plan on trying all of them to see which one I like best.

I tried looking for what size light you have... I actually got rid of my fluval t5 light, and have all these bulbs. I have like 3 different kinds, and 5 separate bulbs. Only used 4 of the lights for about a week, and the other one was used for one day. Their 48" long, id give you a great deal if you ever wanted em! ill pm what kinds they are when im in front of em

the setup I had was pretty blue, but still whiteish purple

I have two 24 inch retro kit so I have no need for 48 inch bulbs. Thanks tho.
