Aurora Goby 03/31/2008 It just came to my
attention that in your Shrimp Gobies page
(http://www.wetwebmedia.com/shrimpgobies.htm), you don't have
the Aurora Goby listed. Perhaps there is still debate as to which
genus this fish falls into, but it would seem most have agreed
that it should correctly identified as Amblyeleotris aurora.
I've had mine in a 12g nano for a few months now. He readily
eats frozen meaty foods and has been a nice, flamboyant addition
to the mini-reef. (Actually, he's the only fish in there).
Every time I write, I make sure to commend you on your efforts
and make sure you know how much you're appreciated. If the
attached photo can be used, please feel free to do so. Thank you,
again. Jason Wedehase <<Hello Jason. Two superb
photographs, thank you for sharing these with us. I am sure they
will be a valuable addition to the Goby database. Regards, A
Nixon>>
