Ahh, sound smuch better. I was concerned and though you better ship them to me I could get you rtandalli for a good price, but distance is for sure our problem

Got some pic's of them?

BTW seems like I made a mistake in mixing yasha, nematodes and Flabellibogius ... now after 3 weeks they start fighting about the randalli ???

Surely you have enough randalli for all of them?!? Who's fighting?

The Flabelligobius are chasing the other gobies away and kidnapp their Alpheus. They can get almost totally white when exited and this seems to impress the other gobies a lot.

Unfortunately I ist almost im possible to split them up now, was I would have to take out all rocks and all sand to find the hidden gobies and shrimps

hmm....interesting. When I had my old one, it never bothered the yashas, nor tried to kidnap their shrimp. In fact, it found a home in the rock crevices just above the yasha hole. Showed absolutely no interest in the yasha or shrimp! Perhaps your pair is getting territorial due to spawning urges?
