Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hey guys I've never ordered from liveaquaria.com before anyone have? Theres only one thing I would want Crested Oyster Goby from the Divers Den http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=152091 Crested Oyster Goby 0423121086 Was: $79.99 Now: $59.99 Quantity: 1 He's been sitting there for awhile. I think my only prob thats going to be a deal breaker is that he prefers cooler water temps and right now I'm running high 70s Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons Care Level: Moderate Temperament: Peaceful Reef Compatible: Yes Water Conditions: dKH 8-12, 65-75° F, pH 8.0-8.4, sg 1.021-1.025 Max. Size: 4" Diet: Carnivore Compatibility: View Chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaarrrggg Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ordered a few things from DD now. Only 1 DOA (the first, typical!) but they gave me credit back after I called (didn't even ask for photo!) Also credited back the shipping when I requested it. Sadly though I would think that chap needs a specialised colder water system. Probably why he's been sitting on the shelf for so long. If he did manage to survive in high 70s I don't think he'd be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I don't know much about the species so I can't comment on that. But, as far as livestock goes, divers den is as good as it gets. Their livestock goes through extensive quarantine and acclimation to an aquarium environment. You pay a premium, but the idea is you get a guaranteed healthy fish. One of, if not the only, supplier that I wouldn't hesitate skipping quarantine on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yeah I have to agree with Aaarrrggg on this guy. I wouldnt want to kill him bc of me not paying attention to his care requirements. I have heard that some cold species guys that are in tropical tempatures can make the adjustment but have a much shorter life span. So the question I have now is how can I figure out my temp zone? I'm going to pass on this guy out of respect for him. I sure do like his coloring. I'm running with mostly fish (just added my frag swap corals Black Combtooth Blenny, Seaweed blenny, Pink Spot Goby, Bullet Goby, 2X False Perculas, longnose Hawk, 6line wrasse, blue damsel, plenty of peppermints, zoas, gsp, devils hand, red finger, paly, xenia birdsnest. in a 150...
