Calmwaters First Saltwater Build

[Calmwaters]

I look everywhere for a green clown goby, well done for lemon goby. Neon cleaner wrasse are difficult to keep. Even more beautiful is the Hawaiian cleaner wrasse but nearly impossible to keep.

I had read that they are easy to keep so we shall see hopefully it will be.

Gobies are. And they LOVE free rides when your hand goes in the tank.

Yes that's correct.

I love it when my dojo loaches play with my hand and fingers when I am working on the tank they are in.

The Goby will jump off the rocks and latch onto your fingers and just rise your hand around the tank while you're doing maintenance.

I thought it was better incase their es a big difference in salinity or ph. Did I read wrong or remember wrong

Nope, you read right. The "new" thinking is that drip acclimation, especially on fish that were shipped, can cause ammonia spikes which can be fatal to fish. Salinity and pH differences can also be fatal if they're too different.

Cool build!

I have a Conch as well, easily one of my favorite things in the tank to watch, their movement is so clunky lol.
