New video of the Flaming Prawn Gobies

[bobz]

I was playing with the PC camera tonight and took a quick video of one of the Flaming Prawn Gobies in the Nano and thought it would be cool to share it.

Hopefully this will work.:up:

May I make a comment here?

Flaming Prawn Gobies RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I concur! Mine are never out when people come over to the house to visit but I see them all day long. I think they are just shy.

No, it's the board software. Just click on the file name and if your browser is smart enough it will open in a player.

Looks good Bob!

Those are so cool, how much did you pay for them? Are you planning to breed them and raise the young?

Ha! I can't even imagine how small the larva might be for these guys! Heck, full grown they are only about an inch long. The other problem I have is that I think I may have two males. They live on opposite sides of the tank and when ever they meet they display at each other. Not much likelihood of a spawn anytime soon. I just finished setting up their new tank so maybe I'll look for a couple more in the hope of snagging a female this time. I'll post up some pics of the new Nano once things settle down an bit.

These are really cool, I wish they would stay out more. Maybe they will now that the forrest has been trimmed back.

They are secretive. Mine come out during the day but I work at my desk all day long so I can always see when they are out hunting. I don't think any one else who has come over has actually seen them out in the open. I think they liked the "forest" of macro algae but I didn't, so it's gone!

I got them about six months ago from Blue Zoo Aquatic. Tim (Keen's Reef) had some in a month ago but I was not able to get any then, maybe next time!
