Yesterday when I was ordering a pistol shrimp I stumbled to Blue Zoo Aquatics since they had some tiger pistols for sale and seen that they had some Smithii's as well. I tried to pass it up since I just started SW and now have 3 tanks within a month of the hobby but I just couldnt so I set my 6g tank back up this morning and put my recently acquired Wennerae in that and now have a 12g ready for the Smithii. The Wennerae isnt very active(he stays in the same hole all day long) and is only 1 1/2" so he should be ok in the 5. Ill get some pictures of him while I am acclimating him tomorrow morning.
 
Guess we will see who gets one, considering i ordered a smithii from there on friday :P I noticed the orange spotted mantis they had also now says "Email me". Wonder if one of us will "accidently" get a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis.
 
I think they keep their in stock list on their website updated because as soon as I ordered the watchman goby it also when to email me and I was never contacted about it not being in stock and just got shippin confirmation tonight. Guess I will know tomorrow morning what it is.
 
Received mine about an hour ago and he is acclimating as we speak. It is a definately a G Smithii, the purple meral spots were the first thing I looked for. Hes about 3" long so he is probably full grown. No pic yet though as I turned my camera on and the battery immediately died. Ill get one up in an hour or two though. Hopefully you got a Smithii as well :).
