Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Standard size eggcrate. I really thought this one would be fine, since he made himself a burrow under a rock and seemed to be settling in quite well. I don't know what would be startling him, I watched everyone for several hours when I first put him in the tank (since he jumped out once and luckily I caught him right away), and no one else was bothering him.

The LFS gave me the second goby for half price since the first one died. I wonder if a new one will be half price of the half price??? . No way am I getting another one. Waste of money fish. I'll find something else to mix up my sand.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Sorry about that Biff.
I never had any luck with any sand sifting fish including the Diamond.Mine never jump-either starve to death or something else.

Nothing! Neal tested it the other day by accidentally blowing the circuit, and there's more than enough space in my sump to handle the water when the power goes out. Phew!

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I'm jealous about that. but I did put a ball valve on the overflow pipe so if I'm home it will be ok thankfully I have tile floors
