Sorry to say those glory days at the fish place are now gone. I too would drive there from Shermans Dale PA to get all my supplies and look at all the different hardware on display. It used to be worth the trip, not so much anymore.

I still like to make the drive periodically. Its really not as though there are many LFS and its nice to be able to go and walk through a shop once in a while, especially since they have more than just fish supplies. I did just pick up the new Apex there. they had had it at the same place as online vendors and I like to buy locally (relative term) when I can. not that I have anything against online vendors.
On a side note, That fish Place has a ton of plumbing supplies such as Bulk Heads, which is inventory I wish more brick and mortar shops maintained

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
I lived in Shermans Dale from ‘92-‘97. Worked in Mechanicsburg.
Does Shermans Dale have a red light yet?

Thanks! Im actually having a little issue with getting him to eat without feeding him via tongs. he's not a big fan of venturing off his rock.
Hes become somewhat dependent on me spot feeding which is causing me trouble with him gaining weight/size.

Hey there, I live outside of Newville, PA and saw this post in reference to LFS in Frederick, MD. Which one would that be? Was thinking of taking a drive down there in the near future.

They do like perching, but I would think your clown goby should be going after food. Not sure what your aquascape looks like, but you mention rock. Branching rocks and/or fake corals and/or dead corals (mine are 50+ years old from before people thought of reef conservation) might give your goby some security.
Just do a google search on fake coral bendable and/or whatever search words best suit something that might give your clown goby more confidence to venture out. Here is a photo of my tank currently (with mine - look far left on the glass, in front of the magnet):
Sometimes have peaceful small other fish can help your fish feel comfortable going for food on its own. Mine seems partial to thawed mysis and live pods, but I offer variety (but not sure clown goby partakes... now I'll have to watch mine more LOL)

Although quite late, hi and welcome to R2R! I’m originally from Philadelphia but live in Illinois now. I wonder how That Fish Place is now. I used to be able to buy from them online but they don’t ship anymore.

Welcome! I was born in raised in South Central PA.... York County to be exact.Hello friends, Its been a little while since i've been on a forum so a little about me. I got into Salt water in 2007 and tried my first corals in 2009. I've bounced around from tank to tank since then as life has gotten in the way and forced me to give up tanks periodically. currently just have a nano cube with rock and wee little clown goby to keep me company.
