For the Love of Gobies.... | |||
| Another important issue was
compatibility with my goby and with other possible tank mates. The
goby is a bottom feeder, and I am not intending for him to have any
competition for food or territory in his little retreat, and the damsels
suited the perfectly. Another thing considered was ease of
care. Damsels are known to be one of the best of the "starter
fishes" for saltwater, due to it's heartiness. And, of
course, color was also a factor. I love bright colors! I
have gotten bored with the duller colors of the many freshwater
varieties of fish. I also wanted colors to help make my goby stand
out in the tank. Color is also important, because it's sort of
hard to study something you can't see very well. In the tank, to
the naked eye, the damsel appears to be a violet and yellow
combination. With the aid of the camera flash, I was able to
capture the true blue beauty in this lovely little fish. the
bright yellow tail stands out nicely, and there seems to be just a touch
of pink to the belly area.

I have turned off the Visi-Jet
VJ100 now, (2AM) as it seemed to be slightly more current in the water
than I had suspected, and the damsel appeared to be having trouble
swimming into it. I am off to bed, the tanks are asleep for the
night, and I will continue to keep my records updated until my next
post. Chapter 2 has only just begin, and I am still intending to
follow up with more "goby information" as soon as
possible. I also will bring current pics of my pink spotted goby,
minus his fin, and update my indexes. I am still on the search for
the materials I need to make this article everything I want it to
be. Until my next update....good night to all!
