    • Desert Goby (Chlamydogobius eremius)

      Desert Gobies are interesting in shape, color, and personality. These are fun fish for a small aquarium. They spend all their time 'hopping' from one place in the tank to another, so a sandy substrate is a must. A nice thing about Desert Gobies is that they can handle large fluctuations in temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen. ...

      Horizontal Tank Divider

      OK, so the entire thing took about 20 minutes to build! Of course, as I suspected, hubby wouldn't let me play with sharp objects.

If one of the pair dies, the surviving buffalo head will not take on a...
