ben since u got ur pLione taken away is it true that brent got u in trouble? btw hows my purple firtideflow doin?


I'm a bit lost here - how does this conversation about Ben, pLione and a purple firtideflow relate to "Reefs & Marines"? I'm going to close this thread due to off-topic discussion ...

I've got a trio of gonioporas - red, green, and purple - and they're all doing pretty well, especially that purple one. I did notice a change in the red one, though. It started when I began dosing vodka. The polyps were really retracted and didn't look too great. Stopped the vodka and decided to ...

There are Goby fish, brackish, and then there's the other type of fish I'm thinking of, more marine-based, but I'm getting my wires crossed here... could we be mixing them ...

Since you've already reached page 3 with no definitive answer, I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I'm not entirely confident, but this fish reminds me of something I came across back in the 90's – I think it was referred to as a "Nigea" Perchfish, although I'm probably way off the mark. The reason ...

Goniporas can be notoriously finicky, especially the green ones - they can bail on you at any time.
