[maidia]

$15 medium size mandarine goby at Living Sea. Just bought one, it's ver nice.

Great picture.

Not for me until ORA releases them tank bred.

 

[Tank2379]

ORA has already release tank breed ones I believe

 

[maidia]

Yes, ORA already release but too much for me (over $100 each).

 

[nvdiz]

they have, but a lot of stores have a waitlist

If only I had a high enough pod population.

Great picture and beautiful male fish. You'll find that the will take most readily to frozen blood worms. Mine also eat mysis, brine, and fish eggs, as well as the old standby - newly hatched brine shrimp!

 

[DragonFish]

I understand they only have the green spot available so far, not the psychedelic. I also heard they were closer to $50.

 

[maidia]

I have a female too but she run around some where. Hope enough pod for them.

 

[ashtree68]

How can you tell male vs female?

 

[maidia]

Male has a long dorsal. Female does not.

Nice catch.

What are you feeding it now? Why are you selling?

 

[Pufferpunk]

I don't think he's selling it, just letting us know they're available at that price from LS. I might have to stop there & see if they have any left.

 

[maidia]

I am not selling. I just got it. They are on sell last week at LS.

 

[maidia]

Thanks Puffer. I saw about 6 of them when I bought mine.

 

[jkf1983]

Sorry about that, misread your post. He looks awesome. Are they hard to take care of?

 

[Pufferpunk]

Generally, they eat their weight in live pods, daily, unless you can get them on prepared foods. Unless you have a large tank with a fuge containing a healthy supply of pods, they will starve to death. Most do, I'm afraid. I supplement my tanks with vitamin-soaked live bloodworms & mine slurps them up.

Where do you get live bloodworms?
