four new hitchhikers

[austinaquarist]

Along with the mysterious cone snail, I found four baby fish in my tank; I think they are chalk basselets.

PS. I don't have any adult chalk basselets in my tank, they must have arrived as an egg on a piece of coral or plant I ordered.

Cool. They certainly have the pattern of chalk basslets.

 

[class clown]

wow - I'd love to know what they look like when they grow up - how cool.
What are you feeding them? Rotifers?

I've put them in a 29 gal with a lot of copepods, grinding up flake food and feeding chromaplex and whatever small food i can find.

Cool find! I dont think they are chalk basslets though, google trimma goby and there are lots of pictures that resemble that in some way. A trimma goby will only get about 1/2" or so full grown.
