shane 1111,

How long have you had the high fin shrimp gobies (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=181) together with the dart/firefish (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=168)? Do they ever pester each other in any way?

Also, did you pair off the highfins yourself or did you buy them as mated pair, how can you tell the difference between the sexes?

shane 1111 · 12/17/2005, 03:43 PM

the hi fin moved in that tank a month ago. but i have owned him for 2 years. the hi fins lived as a pare in my 6 gallon tank for almost 2 years but when I put them in my 50 they fought. I pared them my self.
the fire fish don't bother him to much. before I had a orange spot goby in this tank and he wasn't bothered much. the orange spot is now in my 75g tank

SuperNerd · 12/17/2005, 03:45 PM

How can you tell the difference between the male and female highfin?

shane 1111 · 12/17/2005, 03:51 PM

that i dont know.

rdmpe · 12/17/2005, 07:39 PM

Shane those are great pics. I think the dendro is my fav. I want one of those in my tank (some day...) The sun corals are really cool too, but those sound like a little more maintenance than the dendro huh?

shane 1111 · 12/17/2005, 08:44 PM

there is a little more maintenance in keeping sun corals but they are still worth it

What do you mean captive raised pink brain, was it fragged?

shane 1111 · 12/18/2005, 12:52 AM

SuperNerd yes it was fraged. it grew off a dead skeleton. like a plate coral
i got it off a big mother colony

You've got lots of nice pieces in that tank of yours.

shane 1111 · 12/21/2005, 08:52 AM

$100 in raffle tickets dead! i want to cry!

melev · 12/21/2005, 09:04 AM

I hate that. I have a coral that I bought a month ago that is going up on smoke now. Why? I don't have any idea. My water is pretty darn perfect. Sigh.

shane 1111 · 12/21/2005, 09:30 AM

i have ben trying to ID my Cyphastrea i think it is a Cyphastrea serailia or Cyphastrea chalcidicum
or Cyphastrea microphthalma
what does every one think?

melev · 12/21/2005, 10:19 AM

What about a Diploastrea? Those corals look similar to a Diplo. However, your frag looks too small to ID currently.
