is your temp staying consistent,and not too high ? I don't think the skimmer would cause any problems for just a few days without it.....what are you using to control phosphates and nitrates ? although your's aren't extremely high,IMO,the phosphates and nitrates need to be as close to 0 as possible,... |

I definitely have plenty of pods for these guys to grow in but I don't think I would be able to do it. My system is 2 years old and I have added a 20 gallon sump that has live rock, chaeto, and a deep sand bed for the purpose of pods to reproduce. My main issue is the sand. I had a diamond watchman... |

Oh, I forgot to tell you Wille, as soon as I put my banded sleeper goby in the tank he went straight to your cave and set up house. LOL He has found another spot on the other end of the tank and on the back side that he's hanging out in, but travels back and forth between the two. Yea, I can't wait... |

I might be interested in purchasing them. What type of food do they graze on? Copepods?..I have some tufts of hair algae growing in my tank that some of the fish graze on but the one goby I used to have sifted threw the sand. Also, do the mandarins tunnel or simply swim around. I want to five them ... |

I just now tried the boiling water in a syringe trick on 9 mojanos that were in my tank,they quickly turned from a purplish color to a slimy whitish color,I used RO/DI water in a cup and microwaved it til it was boiling.....we'll see in a few days how it worked but so far it looks promising  |
