After months of setup of my 45 gallon Oceanic Tek tank and waiting for it to finish cycling, my new fish have finally arrived!
They are all sitting in QT now:
I bought a pair of Yashia White Ray Shrimp Gobies along with their sybiotic shrimp. All three were collected together.
I also bought a trio of Orange Stripe Prawn Gobies (Amblyeleotris randalli) that were also collected together.
Talk about costing a pretty penny but they are awesome and worth it to me. The most expensive fish I have ever owned before them was $22 so I had to take a big gulp with these guys.
The Yashia group are going in the display tank first to let them establish territories and settle in then about a week later I will introduce the Orange Strip Goby crew.
All of them are 1.5 inches or less.
Only other residents of the tank are a bunch of snails, a brittle star, and a black mollie. The black mollie is in there because my porcupine puffer bit of the mollie's mate's head off one day and apparently liked it so much that he went after this mollie too but only got half the head, so I saved him and he's been living by myself and the snails for about 6 months now with half his head and one eye missing. But doing good!
I will take pics this weekend.
