my sad dead clam

this was it when i took it out. i am going to dry it out and keep it! Sounds kinda crazy but for some reason I want to keep the shell!

 

[DrCooper]

I miss my fish and clam!

 

[Awibrandy]

Sorry Coop! It just sometimes happens. I lost 1 out of 3 a few months back after 1.5 years in my tank. The remaining 2 are doing fine thus far.. So chin up buddy!!

 

[DrCooper]

yea i just am so pissed because the two fish I loved. The two clowns got along so well and tailspot was amazing. Then this clam. Just worried I did something but I think from what everyone has said this kinda junk sometimes just happens.

Moving on! I get some new stuff soon to cheer me and the tank up!

Actual GOOD news!

So I think I like to think my thread is enjoyable for some people cause I love to update it. Lately alot of sad news with things just going MIA and not thriving. HOWEVER, I was looking at my dendros yesterday and thought I saw something. Today it is established I was CORRECT!
I have a baby dendro growing. I got two heads at the swap and a new one is popping up. VERY COOL STUFF

I try and get a pic if able (thanks to Question Marc I figured out that Cannon support are morons and wrong, they wanted me to send it to them for over 100 bucks, he fixed it without even seeing it)

Anyways, growth = happiness

FYI, still searching for a new tailspot blenny

Odd Couple

ok, so of course my camera is still messed up and unable to get a good shot but it appears my blue mandarin and yellow watchman goby are BEST FRIENDS. They sleep in same area right next to one another and hang out for parts of the day. VERY ODD
I swear, not making this up

i work on pics tomorrow!

New Shots and New Worm!

So I got a good shot of a clown I got recently. I named him Mr. T (teardrop) cause he has this one cool tear drop white mark on his side and thats all.
Great fish

Also saw this odd worm that is within my rock work if anyone knows what it is let me know!

Also, i been feeding my brain coral and it is amazing how this thing eats!
Mandarin doing great!

Check out porcelain crab that has been hanging out in xenia since entering my tank

Looks like a Peanut Worm to me

the Odd Couple

So for the past week I have noticed some odd romance in my tank. It seems my Yellow Watchman Goby and Mandarin are hanging out alot together..
I kid you not, they are sleeping together.

Thanks for the invite to your thread. I read and enjoyed all the pages. I think a larger tank is in your future.

Return of the TAILSPOT

no no no its not the original TailSpot Blenny I lost, this is a new guy. Picked him up yesterday when I was just looking at LFS. Saw him and said "I gotta have him right now"

Second I put him in my tank he did great. So damn cute
By far my FAVORITE FISH


pics on Monday as at work all weekend!

Even better news I forgot

so I thought one of my two porcelain crabs died cause I found it dead. Of course it never occured it had molted. The other day I took out some rock to put in my new Nano Wave 9 and who do I see? Porcelain Crab live and well. He has now gone into my anemone and hosting there.

Also, The newer orange clown hosts my frogspawn and I caught my big black female clown hosting in my anemone (even though she is larger then the anemone)

All good stuff!

I only spotted my pom pom crab once since adding him so HOPE he is still around. If I see him he is going into the 9 gallon!
