    last night i was watching my tank and the goby would leave his cave and swim up to the shrimp and kinda hover liked he wanted to be cleaned. but the shrimp would swim away scared. so the goby would follow him all over the tank. it was so funny :)

    oh im sorry, a funeral is so tough :( i've already been to two.

    im sure your clown will be fine :) i change my water twice a month anyways lol.

    haha ohh cute. I haven't seen my fire shrimp clean any fishies :( I think it would be fun to watch. poor goby didn't get cleaned haha maybe you'll have to give him a bath. Im home now :D everything looks just fine. Im doing a water change anyways. cuz it needs it. and I totally discovered funerals are just no fun. Im sorry you had to go to two :( this was my first one it was awful I hope I never have to go to another one.

    hmmmmm I don't think so, is it the red slime stuff? ugh I had major problems with that in my 8 gal. I bought this awesome stuff and it got rid of it. But I don't know about branching red macro algae..

    Kelps look like that, and are usually anchored to a rock. Gracilaria can look like that, but I'm not sure where they anchor.
