    Hello TRT good morning from Miami. Anyway I just bought two cleaner shrimp yesterday, acclimated them, put them in the tank and they started pulling some acrobatic maneuvers.

    would i be risking it if i put both of these fish in my tank? I really like the tail spot, but i know the bullet goby does a great job of cleaning the sand and thats what i am looking for. Plus i have read that the bullet gobies are easier to keep then the other sand sifting gobies

    Anyone have one? Just wondering cuz we have a few at the LFS and I watched them all weekend while I worked... they were kindof cool...do they sift and then spit the sand all over the tank or sift and then just let it spill where they are? Also, do they eat the good stuff out of the sandbed?

    Hi Everyone! As most of you know Ive been having a problem with flatworms and pyramid snails. I think my scooter blenny may be eating the flat worms because hes getting really fat and they are disappearing. The pyramid snails are going strong. I bought a tiny 6 line 3 weeks back only to watch my...
