More Fish Pictures

Well, we recently told you about the loss of our Yellow Watchman Goby, Fifty Percent. Well, we decided to try yet again. This time we got a bigger one. We went through several names like Moby (as in Moby Dick), Hoby (from Baywatch) and Coby (Bryant). But, nothing fit quite like Toby. So, this is Toby 2. As soon as we put him in the tank Spot (our Domino Damsel) started picking on him. He would ram him with his face and then shake his tale at Toby2. Toby 2 got pretty scared and jumped into the back of the tank several times. We thought he wasn't going to make it. So, Andrew bought a tank divider and put it in. It didn't really fit. So, there was a big space at the top and the bottom that Spot could get through. But, apparently he isn't that smart and he started leaving Toby2 alone. Toby also found a great place to hide. He is now friends with Pepe' our cleaner shrimp. They hang out in the same hole. Pepe' hangs upside down on the top and Toby 2 hangs out on the bottom. They make quite a team...




until our Emerald Crab, Emmitt, comes to town. We don't see him very often and when we do, it is usually just one of his claws that we see. But, this day, he took over Pepe' and Toby2's cave. He is pretty big. He has 2 big claws and then all those hairy legs that you see.
He is gone now and things are back to normal for Pepe' and Toby2. I guess Emmitt just came for a little house cleaning.
