Hey Guys,


If you've seen my tank you know I don't quite strive for the minimalistic approach. I got lots of rock, lots of corals and lots of fish.


My fish count is over 100 and been stable for quite awhile. I love the little fish and am always a sucker for something cute and tiny to add.


Before MACNA I came across some Eviota Gobies. These guys are tiny. The kind of fish that you would have to look for in a 5g Nano tank. But they were cute, and supposedly live in acro colonies and keep pests at bay. Given this fish is less than an inch and about as thick as a matchstick I only got a couple to try. My baby Bangai could eat them no problem.


So I acclimated them in the tank. Let them loose. They darted into the rock work and blink....Never seen again.


Last night I go walking by the tank, and holy crap one of them is sitting out in the corner of the tank!!!


So out came the camera, and yes I had to use the Macro Lens :)

So after 5 months unseen this little guy doesn't look too bad. Now to see if the second one shows up

I love that a healthy reef tank can support such a diversity of life. Now I have to control myself and not buy a dozen of these little guys.




While the camera was out I snapped a few other fish....




One of my trio of Multi-Bar

Wow, awesome tank! Am I counting 7 yellow tangs??
 
And I almost didn't look at this thread. Awsome to find such a tiny fish doing well in a huge reef. Must have been so happy. Crazy system:-)
