Wednesday is photo night

[Kathy55g]

Busy, aren't they? I forgot how much fun they are at this age...kinda like kids!

Right again, Kathy. I saw even my littlest runt nab CE.

Bad move, but I am growing quite fond of this little guy. He has tons of spunk. But the poor little guy gets chased and picked on a lot. I wonder if I should move him to the goby tank? Or maybe him and the other runts?

 

[Kathy55g]

Looking at my hatch, I can't find the runts. I have one guy that is enourmous compared to his tankmates, but most of them are the same size to my ancient eyes.

I'm probably going to jinx it by saying something... but I have a new goby record! Its day 31 for my stouthearted goby lad! He's sitting in the middle of the tank now -- eschewing his PVC den. I even saw him roll his eyes to look at me, and the eyes look quite developed. I think he is officially post meta.

I got a little pipette and gav him a smidgen of cyclopeeze. He immediately turned, looked at it and picked one up. But, he had trouble with that one and had to spit it out. I went to grab some F1 (red) flake food, and when I came back he showed no interest in the food. Obviously, from the second pic he found one he thought he could swallow! I gave him some BBS anway.

The first pic, of course, is doctored for contrast and to show details better.

P.S. The gobies gifted me with a smallish nest today, 6 days late. I thought they had laid their eggs and lost them (it falls down sometimes). Too bad both tanks are full.

Very cool Nicole!

What a handsome lad he is!

 

[parshmar]

That's great Nicole!!!

"both tanks are full"....

I guess it's time to get a 3rd, 4th, and 5th tank going while you've got the mojo

 

[NicoleC]

I need a rack, first. Lacking a place to work, that means $$$.

It's simmering in the back of my head.

 

[NicoleC]

Too funny. "Lad" turned up his nose at a cloud of wiggling, fresh BBS right in front of his face tonight and waited for the CE. Well, that makes it easy on me. I guess he's on CE until he gets big enough for prepared food.

Goodness... think of all the free time I'll have not culturing live food...

 

[parshmar]

Any new updates? How's "Lad"?

 

[NicoleC]

Still kicking. A bit bigger and starting to get a tiny tinge of yellow!

 

[mako56]

Any changes to your goby yet Nicole?

 

[NicoleC]

He's still small and slightly yellow.
