    Yeah, gotta pair of ocelaris clowns (Nacho & Funky Komedina), very healthy but they've taken over my 50g frag. They're like WWF tag team & go after my Scopas Tang and Lawnmower. I've had them for over 2 yrs. now. They eat like little porkers and don't allow target feeding. I think they're just territorial and the tank is a little crammed.

    Anyway, rather than take them back to the LFS so they can resell them for good bucks, I'd rather give them to someone who will take good care of them. I've got boxes saved from other purchases so just pay for shipping and they're yours!! :inquisiti

    Seabass, that is one truly amazing gesture. You must really care more about your animals rather than the money. Kudos to you, I hope they find a great home.

    I have an empty 90 cycled and waiting for its first inhabitants - this sounds like the perfect christmas present to myself if they are still available. PM me and we can work out payment details - if you can keep them for the weekend im available to receive the delivery at home mon-thur

    I would give away the Scopas first, it is going to have to go eventually, the bullying on the blenny might subside once the tang is gone.

    Thanks Tom. I've never been "cheap" you know? Especially when I fell in love with the hobby after seeing all those amazing colors. I figure I'll be doing this until my last day anyway, so might as well do it right. These animals deserve the best anyway with all the excitement & comfort they've provided over the years.

    Nah, scopas & lawnmower are allies, actually.

    silent inside joke laugh.

    I've been willing to give my 2 clowns away for several months now (those fish are little devils)... don't want to ship and no local takers... so i feel for you...

    good luck and I hope they find a home

    I would be willing to take them as I live up around San Luis Obispo Ca. about 5 hours or so from you. If you cant find anyone one else pm me and I will send you the money for shipping. I am home evryday so it would be easy for me. Even if you find someone else to take them K+ to you for the great gesture.

    Well, Telgar was the first so If & when I give my Scopas Tang & Lawnmower away, Katie has first dibs. I'll even send pictures, OK Katie. ibe, whats up over in SLO?!! If Katie doesn't want any of my algae eaters, you can have them. I'm putting in an algae scrubber this weekend so their food will (hopefully) be running out.

    Thank you very much for your responses!!
