    I finally got my first fish, actually 2. False Percula Clowns. They are about an inch a piece, tinny little guys.

    It seems that they've found their favorite spot, in the back corner of the tank. They don't leave it, sometimes they come out. Sucks because we won't get to see them very often. Hopefully when I put the bubble tip in they will make a new home.

    They ate the second I floated the bag, I put a few pellets in just to make sure they would eat.

    They are enjoying the copepods, eating almost everyone they see.

    I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

    sounds awesome man i also have an oscellaris clown that is very colorful and happy. its odd you say yours hangs in the back. mine wont leave the front of the tank. i think hes just a pig and likes to be the first to get food when it his the water, but who knows. hope your two become a mated pair.
    good luck

    It may be because that's the side I floated them on and acclimated. I didn't use a QT. I plan on using it for everything else though. None of my other fish are going to be coming from my LFS, they really only have clowns, but they take good care of their fish.

    The only thing I think the fish had to get used to is a good water flow. My LFS was running a 100 GPH pump in the 10 G tank they were in.

    I hoping one of them changes sex, if they have to, and start making little clowns.
