IMHO, that fish is very thin.

Poster hasn’t been online in over 4 years… he may be thin too!

I think that goby, without food would not last long after that picture was taken. He is so thin that he was almost transparent

 

[albano]

Where were you 4 years ago!!!!!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I don't have a qt that is treated with anything but just a 10 gal with some zoas and a torch. Would this still be fine as a qt? Or do I need to remove the corals and treat the tank and fish if I buy.

Wrasses are very sensitive to medication especially copper and it is advised to avoid medications in qt.

I would put him in your 10 gallon with corals and pods and just watch with no meds for a week.

Hey I acquired a yellow coral goby (gobiodon okinawae) from Petco about 4 months ago it was in a tank with a lot of hermit crabs and no resting places it now resides in my 15 gal reef tank it’s the only fish in my tank and it is doing well and I have not given it food for about 2 months. It is very active and in good health and feeds on the small inhabitants in my 8 month old tank

This is really messed up i hope this is a joke!!!! You haven’t fed your fish in two months?!?!! What is wrong with you!!!! They should eat every day.

Old thread or not tho, why would someone not feed a fish for months.. makes me want to go wake mine up and feed them rn.

 

[Tamberav]

I don’t get why they didn’t feed the fish. Old post but very sad to think someone is starving their animals. Not a pleasant way to die.

No build thread? I see some nice looking shrooms on the wall paper.

I posted on the thread from way back and got notified that there are some activities on the thread. When it popped up, I just saw the last post and just got to comment on such a sad looking fish, but whose owner was so proud of it.

Reefing on a budget, that’s awesome.
Have you guys been to Golden State Corals yet? Elliot the owner use to work at Vivid, cool guy. Aquarium city has a nice mostly healthy fish selection also, I typically buy fish from them, been going there since I was like 8yrs old.
Have you heard about the Coral Farmers Market on the 25th of this month? http://www.coralfarmersmarket.com/cfmprotour_westcoastcoralshow_2023_winter.htm

Awesome! Post some pictures if you get a chance, I’ll be flying out Friday and won’t be able to make it.
