Thinking of Building a Biocube 14G

I'm an extremely impatient person.

OMFG they came out together! I looked over and saw the male just swimming high up in the center of the tank. I was wondering wtf he was doing so I walked over to see the female staring at him at the entrance. I think the male was trying to prove to her that it was safe and nothing is out to get them. She kept swimming up to him and then back down over and over when finally the male swam back to the borrow. How I have the rocks set up now is much better for water flow, coral placement, less rocks on the substrate, and It made the borrow face the middle of the tank so now the male can see what is really going on. Their colors are extremely bright, I can't wait to snap photos of them for you guys soon.

Glad to hear it's working out!

It seems they must stay up late at night or something because they never come out until mid-day. Both have been out and I've even confirmed that the female is eating. I think I win! *knock on wood*

Glad to hear. Hate to think of adding fish you can never see.

So far it sucks bad.... But it's a treat when you get to see them, hah.

I'm hoping for photos / vids next week.

FINALLY!

Well, last night (saturday) the shrimp ended up collapsing the little bridge I made so I had to re-scape it again which really freaked out the gobies and brought my nitrates up. Now the scape is better, again! All today the rear hatch was closed and I didn't see them until late tonight where they must have made a vote to move the entrance up front, good move as now they are catching way more food. I'm really thinking about buying a skimmer for this tank for some assurance, I really don't feel like losing these little guys.

Anyway, here are some more photos and proof that I do have a shrimp. I really like the females eyes, it's as if she has some eye-shadow with those high lights on top of them.

Nice shots! They look great!!!!

Yeah, I'm really happy with their looks. Live Aquaria does a nice job that's for sure.

These guys eat like pigs! They are finally learning they are the only ones in the tank, so they are not very smart. They do see extremely well though
