Valentini Toby

[MGB]

I just got a nice valentini toby, which according to everything I've read on them are relatively hardy. He seams to have achieved the first hurdle of initial acclimation, and is behaving normally. I know the basics of what he eats, etc, can anyone give me some good tips on feeding and possible problems, for his long term survivability. Thanks, MGB.

?

He's in a 50 gal with 70lbs of live rock, a small yellow tang and a small lawnmower blenny, all introduced at the same time. I noticed an interesting behavoir from the toby, when the lights are out he just found a spot and clung to the live rock, is this normal night time activity.

I just got a valentini too - he is eating like a horse! Frozen mysis, chunks of clam that my zebra misses and mysis. He is awefully cute! Would also love to know what else he may need! Thanks

oops I meant to say - pieces of clam that my zebra eel misses - no I don't have a zebra in my tank!
