Iv got babies if u want. Heres. Pic of the 5 gal that they are being raised in. They get NLS on the week days and baby brine on the weeknds. I try to feed three times a day but mostly it twice.

Hey,

I was wondering about the babies. I'm concerned about moving such young ones. Whether they can handle the stress at such a young age?? And for the life of me I can't think of what NLS is.

I really appreciate you telling me about your goby and what a stinker he is. What is your opinion about my female betta and the shellies? Of course if I got babies I'd take her out for fear she would eat them. She's the meanest betta I've ever had. Rotten psycho girl.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to make the trip to Spring or just try to get some from Daves when he gets more in. It would take about 2hrs. to Spring and back. When could I get them? I'm also assuming we would meet somewhere?

I went online and looked at forktails. Absolutely gorgeous fish! Geeze, ya'll are making me wish I could set up a bigger tank with shellies, a goby or 2, forktails and who knows what else! I'm not going to be impulsive though. I'll get my shellies and see how it goes. I haven't seen white clouds in a long time. I always thought they're such pretty little fish.

You're right Roy, I keep mine with blue eyed forktails (furcatus rainbows) and had kept white clouds before that. The forktails are gorgeous and do beautifully in alkaline water too.

Ohmygosh, goby cichlids? I've never had a goby anything but I've always loved watching them and I think they're some of the cutest creatures alive. I would definitely love to have some gobies with the shellies. What kind?

Thanks!

Ours are Eretmodus cyanostictus, they look like the top picture here:

But yeah, I adore them though they are kind of bullies, I wouldn't recommend them with shellies unless you have a big enough set up so that everyone can have their own territory and leave each other alone...maybe 20-30 gal? That said, they are great fish- my favorite in the tank aside from the multies. We're hoping our pair will breed eventually, we'll see!

I bet the babies would make the trip okay, that's not crazy far...and NLS- New Life Spectrum.

I can't help but giggle when I see those goby faces. I guess I'll hold off though. Maybe I will have a larger tank eventually. Thank you for telling me what NLS is.

When could the little buggers be picked up? Also, do you have any extra shells that I could buy until I get some ordered from Amazon?

The tank is pretty.
