    Princess is finally swimming throughout the entire tank! this is the most active he has ever been! It took him like 3 1/2 weeks to get comfortable, i fed tonight, turned off the all the pumps 10 minutes before freeding, he came out and ate then, about 10 minutes after they all ate i turned the pumps back on and has been swimming all over the tank for an hour and a half. He even stayed out and let me take pics, but their not good so i decided to try a video that's mainly of him, so i'm uploading it to youtube so you can see him in action.

    This is just me being excited, i can finally enjoy my fish, i just hope he continues to stay out like this. I'll post the video once it's uploaded, it's not that good but it works :D

    here is the video, sorry for the horrible quality, for some reason my camera hasn't been doing that great, it's not even old, maybe only 2 or 3 years. Still can't get the firefish's color to show up properly, oh well i tried. This is both of the tank and him, but mainly of the firefish

    he/she (princess) looks GREAT!! i wish i had enough money to buy one like that but even if i did, mom would never let me buy a 2' fish that costs 100 bucks lol
    but i actually bought a firefish myself. not the same kind as yours but he is the one thats red and pink/white.. he is pretty active since day 1.

    the one thas pretty shy right now its my Niger trigger fish.. he only comes out during feeding and sometimes in the afternoon.. ( although i got them yesterday) my foxface is pretty shy too! but its a little more confident now.

    loving your clowns too!. im actually considering on getting B&W clowns for my tanks.. either the 29 or the 150.

    one black and one orange. lol wonder how if their babies would look like..
    im thinking maybe orange for my 150 and black and white for my 29.

    the only problem is my LFS has a hard time bringing in the real black and white, not the ones that have a white/yellowish face.
