Jewel Damsel .....Plectroglyphidodon lacrymatus
Beau Gregory Damsel ......Chrysiptera sp.
Half Blue Damsel ....Chrysiptera hemicyanea
Blue Reef Chromis ......Chromis cyaneus

The idea of stocking what a significant other wants in the tank often leads to disaster. If they want something special have them research it and put it in their tank.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

lol I dont trust her, all OUR money will go down the drain lol.....

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

Can someone point me in a good direction in goodlooking fish for my folr/reef tank that will fit in my tank?sorry to be a hastle

Orange Lined Cardinalfish look cool. So do Yellowhead Jawfish. A spawning pair of Neon Blue Goby could be fun. Or maybe a Firefish of some sort... If your girlfriend has a spare $150, a Helfrichi Firefish would look right at home in your tank.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

lol I dont think she has that much to spend but I think the neons wna jawfish would be cool...do you know any place that would have the spawnning pair of neons?

 

[logiktest]

Yeah, I dont usualy get to spend that kind of money either. Sorry, but I dont know off-hand of any place that is selling mated pairs of goby. You may want to do some research on thier mating habits...

Maybe this will help?

Breeding:

The Neon Goby species parents are small and may be maintained easily in a twenty gallon system. They pair and spawn readily and regularly, with demersal (bottom) eggs, and parental care. The individual Neon Goby may be sexed with practice and close observation. The males are cone-shaped and pointed at the tip, the females are generally only visible near spawning and are short and rounded at the tip.

The Neon Gobies can spawn and rear their young on most anything solid. The fry are raised on unicellular plankton (Euplotes & Brachionus). The young are fully developed in a month; which seems fast until you realize their full lifespan is but a year or two. The Neon Goby is extremely hardy and a great beginner marine fish. It gets along great in a community aquarium or reef aquarium. It is very beneficial for its tank mates. It is a true cleaner goby and will pick off cryptocaryon and other parasites from them, as well as dead tissue. A prime candidate for breeding, this little fish is a ready breeder and has been bred by both hobbyists and commercially for years.

 

[trottman]

they are all breeding pairs if you get about 4 of them. the eggs dont often survive though.

 

[saltyshoe_nano]

I will have to think on that one thanks guys
