New addition! Twin Spot Goby.

Upon much deeper research, I recognize this is a very difficult fish and not the simple sand sifting goby I thought I was getting. I seem to have made a mistake, and now must make the best of it. I think I'm up to the challenge. If not I have an exit plan.

So here's the plan: tonight when I fed, I dusted the sand bed with a mix of reef roids and coral delite; sharing much of the natural plankton food of the goby. I also fed a mix of frozen pe mysis, omega brine and cyclops. The goby took some brine and has been sifting the sand.

I'm going to feed twice a day, and make sure the sandbed is full of goodies, a regular mix of the above. I'll spot feed the two spot brine - I do this already with my yasha.

I took a lot of pictures, and if he starts to shrink/starve or doesn't get fat soon, he's moving to my friend's 600 with 28 square feet of sandbed.

Best pic I have - sorry for the dirty glass.
