More Gobies!

We went to the fish store last night to pick up some more gobies, and we came back with three new gobies and a blenny. Here are some pictures:

We realized after we got home that these guys camouflage so well with the rock in the tank, making it really hard to take good pictures of them. I think a new camera for Christmas might be a little ambitious, but hopefully I'll have one shortly after...

This guy is good at hiding; we haven't seen him since shortly after we put him in the tank.

Another picture of the Mandarin Goby, who is becoming a little less shy:

Bi-Color Blenny:

I've never had this kind of trouble taking pictures of stuff in the quarantine. He seems to be doing OK though, he ate last night and seems pretty active.

The next fish for quarantine will be one or two blennies. We're looking at some type of forktail blenny or maybe a midas blenny. Also, next chance we get, we'll probably get a firefish goby. After all of those guys are in the tank, next up will be the Bangai cardinals. I'll keep posting as things happen or as I can get some more pictures of the fish.
