    at least i'm glad to hear that mine adjusted very quickly for shrimp. lol and when it comes to moving things around try having the cleaner shrimp jump on you while a female clown is constantly biting your arm at the same time

    yea he's come close to gettng the clowns like his antennas touching them, but they freak out. i think given a chance, my firefish may let him, he doesnt swim very fast, just kind of glides

    lol.. well, ive never had aggressive clowns.. they actually become "petable."
    i put my hand in and they just go to it and start rubbing them selfs all around. i promise i once said out-loud to the fish.. " im not an anemone dude". ( i guess thats only funny if you were there to see it.)

    haha yea, my female doesnt like it, i guess she wants to be the alpha and is telling me whose boss, it doesn't hurt, it was funny at first then annoying. That's so funny that your fish let you pet them, funny how you screamed at your fish :lol:

    lol i've accidently pet my puffer once, he didnt notice, but im afraid of trying it again because he has something called teeth, and i dont want him to accidently bite me
