Bumblebee Goby On Moss Ball

I read several times that any snails in the tank would eat the eggs, and since we used to feed snails to the puffer that used to reside in the tank, there are tons of snails appearing now that he’s not in it any more.

The males have shown some breeding colors since we removed the eggs, but I haven’t seen any new eggs.

Even if I do I don’t think that I will remove those eggs unless I have a clean snail free tank to put them into.

Our Australian Desert Goby Fry are doing great!

We have 8 of them, and it looks like we have 2 or 3 males, but we aren’t really sure yet.

Two of the males have been showing their adult color for about 3 weeks, and one of them has claimed a cave, which he vigorously defends against all the other gobies - especially the males.

I’m pretty sure that one day soon we’ll see some eggs in there, and I can’t waitl

Our newest batch of German Blue Ram Fry

The newest batch of German Blue Rams is still going strong.

We have them in a 10 gallon bare bottom tank, and we started feeding them fry food and baby brine shrimp as soon as they were ready to eat.

They seem to be growing a lot faster than the last batch, and we think it’s because we’re feeding them baby brine shrimp every day, now that we’ve got the hang of it.

We sold the last of our first batch of German Blue Rams over the weekend.

I was sad to see them go, but I’m sure they went to good homes, and they’ll be happy not to be crowded into a 20 gallon tank any more.

I think we have at least 40 smaller fry left, but I’m not sure, it’s so hard to count when the tiny little things are darting around everywhere!

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you that due to popular demand we’ve created the Fargo/Moorhead Reptile and Amphibian forums!

These forums are a part of the Northern Lights Reptile and Amphibian Forums.

Of course everyone is welcome to the forums - you just have to follow the rules if you’re going to buy, sell or trade reptiles or reptile supplies.

If you’re interested in reptiles and amphibians I hope to see you there soon!

There are tons of more pictures of him and our female chameleon, Sheila, on the Northern Lights Reptiles Blog.
