First Fish ! :) (Pic included)

UPDATE: a somewhat ok pic of him so far...


Just picked up a tank bred O. Clown from the LFS... I'm soo excited, this is my first fish in my SW tank...

He's a little shy right now. Tried getting him to eat a little but no go as of yet but then again its only been a few hours since I put him in the tank.

So far though when he thinks no one is around he will go explore the tank to I think he's healthy and all but just needs to get used to his new surroundings...

 

Congrats!! The first fish is so exciting!

 

Congrats!!!

Now that you have started to add living creatures into your aquarium, I would like to remind you to take it nice and easy. I have lost many more fish than I would've if I had taken it slow and careful.

 

Thank you guys and Trig: I def plan on taking it nice and slow, I want all my fish to be healthy so there is no rush thrown them all in at once.

Also is there anything I should be doing to help make the clownfish feel comfortable in his new home?

 

Congrats on the new fish.

 

Excellent! I scratched my head with the mushrooms and anemone, then figured it was a background, looks really great. I have been one year in the hobby, enjoyed every minute, even the frustrating minutes are wonderful. Describe your setup for us.

 

Congratulations on your new friend!

 

Ah hahaha I did that too! I was like wow! The tank is so mature to just now be adding the first fish. Oh geeze. :

Very nice background! Very realistic lol

 

Hahaha guys that made me laugh. Yeah the anemones were just a background (unfortunately) and I actually had to take it off. I think my clown kept think it was real and would keep rubbing up on that part of the glass and then be confused as to why he couldn't get to it.. At the moment I have changed it to a plain black background.

Also Nanook: My setup is nothing crazy... very short budget so working w/a 30 gallon tank w/roughly 35lbs of live rock and 30lbs of live sand,and it has been running for about 4 weeks (just finished the cycle). Ordered a Koralia Evo Nano (425gph) for now and should be in by Wednesday. Also have a hob filter that came w/the tank. No skimmer or sump at the momment (once again, budget restraints)
