nyoder23 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I finally got one even though it was against the budget I just couldnt wait any longer. I have my aqupod covered with some egg crate with my MH over it so he can't jump out. I am have a custom glass lid made with vents made into it to let the heat out that my sunpod creates too. The scooter blenny and him get along too. But he is not a fan of the emerald crab playing around in his house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Such a cool fish! I love how their spots almost glow. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yes I put him in the aquapod so I can actually see him and easier to keep him from jumping out. The spots just amaze me not to mention how large they can make their jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyoder23 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 To bad the picture isn't the best but when I get a new camera it will be better. But i thought these were neat since he was just standing up in the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Congrats man! I actually just picked one up on Monday. Cute little guy. We named him last night - Oscar the Grouch He went after every hermet crab he could find and put them all in one corner of the tank lol the opposite side from him of course lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nice yeah she has not picked a name yet. Wow her picking names is a process for sure can't wait t pick a kids name with her... I think it is a little funny how he doesn't like anyhting around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Those are awesome fish. I have one in my 29 gallon biocube and we have a screen and he has tried to jump out. Mine is named "Mumford". Great fish! Great personality. Worth the price IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyoder23 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 So i had the egg crate on the tank till i got my new custom glass cover with vents for my aquapod and he jumped out the day before and I was gone and didn't get back in time. And now he is gone! I am not happy about that at all. And to top off the weekend my biocube that i turned into a frag tank started to leak out of the seams.

nyoder23 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 The only thing i can think is myg/f left the front egg crate off while feeding them and forgot to put it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhowe Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Horrible. Awesome fish. I lost a mystery wrasse to a suicide jump. That's not fun. I think Upscales in Tualatin has a blue spot in stock. I saw it there today, if you want to put the money back into another immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever go anywhere I never worry about someone feeding the fish. I was gone for over a month when I had my nano and they were fine with no feedings.

Emerald525 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wow you're not having a good day. Sorry to hear about your loss. It's easy to forget the covers when feeding. Fortunately we don't have to remove the one in the biocube to feed our bluespot jawfish and he has hit the screen many a time and would have jumped out without it.

J.R Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Dang nyoder that sucks! yeah Upscales has some in if you want to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oh no!! That sucks sorry to hear. I've come home to that a few times, never fun. Hope you get that biocube fixed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I bought him from upscales but now I don't have the money so I will have to wait. They are a great fish minus the jumping. As for feeding the new glass lid will have a small spot to open and close so it should be hard to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You must be the person who bought it while the delivery bag was still floating..I bought the other one he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yes I bought that one and he was doing really good and fun to watch too but I will be better prepared next time. Lol how is yours doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Mines doing pretty good. I actually burried a peice of egg crate uder the sand yesterday and he wasnt very happy that I destroyed his burrow but he was building a new one this morning. Guess that means i'll be unburying frags from the sand bed tonight lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
