My First SW Tank!

[Cichlidgirl91]

Someone on here (I think it is Gangstafish) keeps their violet gobies in a SW setup and said that the gobies triples in size!
I think I'll try it and see how well the goby does. If he does well, I'll let ya'll know!

I found another website saying this:
DISTRIBUTION
Western Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean coasts of the Americas, extending from Brunswick County, North Carolina, to Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Also on coasts of Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean.

Ya, you can't go FW to SW.. suuuuuure. Same tank in both pictures. Also, can't have an anemone is a 30G? Look at the second pic. Anemone and maroon clown have been living happily for over 5 years in that tank. I also have a total of 13 fish in my tank.. and been that way for a loooong time.

 

[Grins]

That is all the bigger the anemone has gotten in 5 years? I'm surprised.

umm sorry but if you are going to go full marine, why bother with a violet goby? there are so many sweet options for marine fish ..

 

[Ace25]

Considering this is what is started out as.. it was a VERY noob tank at the time. The anemone has been through hell and back.. survived a 90degree heat wave in the tank one summer when all my other corals didnt.. I don't know why it hasn't split yet.. but it has definately grown a lot.

Well... I'm a sucker for ugly/strange fish. And also, I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with SW or Brackish, so now, I get to do both!

 

[Ace25]

As for brackish, I always loved the little figure 8 puffers. That is my only experience with brackish though.

it doesnt work that way.

you need to do research.

and based on the full tank shot thread, id would suggest doing your own research and basing your decesions on fact, rather than someones stubborn opinion that a vg is "fine" in sw.


VG are a brackish fish. period.

read. research. deduce. conclude.

i will not excuse anyone submitting a living animal to opinion, when all it takes is you showing a lil motivation and effort to get the actual information for yourself..
