Just a bunch o' gobies with a desperately horny and (so far) unlucky Pearl Gourami. Gosh, he does try hard...

I finally got some good pics of one of my rhinos. I'll start you with them so your expectations can be crushed by the poor quality of what comes after.



I finally figured out how to balance the weird lighting in that tank, so I should have more pics like the above and below in the future.








I have 2 m and 2 f Aussie Desert Gobies. And here's their condo:







I still don't buy that these are the same species. Totally different colors and totally different patterns on the tail. Even a slightly different facial structure. I think the dark guy is an undescribed species.







The semoni looks better each day. He and the female are really healthy.


I love that the rhinos are using the caves I built. These little fish have loads of personality.



This emaciated guy is going to make it, I think. His fins are starting to stand up, and he even chased another goby away from his territory yesterday.



The frustrated gentelman.

Looking good, dude! That 2nd unidentified "rainbow" is being tentatively labeled pelewensis in the hobby. Not sure how accurate that will end up being in the long run, but it's a starting point.

Big Mike, yep! It's been repurposed from my old shimp tank :) They're great little things.
Jackiomy, I think you're probably looking at a Sewellia Lineolata. The flow is described in my Hillstream tank thread in my sig, but in short, it's a powerhead, an oversized filter, and a small pump on the opposite end pointing toward the intake of the other two.
Inka, do you have any links to the pelewensis? I just found the one pic on seriouslyfish, and I'm not sure. This guy's tail is orange, mostly, and since he came with the rest of my rainbows, I doubt he's from Palau. Who knows, though? Wait! More searching has revealed: I think it's S. atratus.
