    It looks so much bigger than 30g for some reason.

    I was watching one in the pet shop today and I can see how they could be jumpers. What exactly is a suicide barrier, a condensation tray comes to mind.

    Its quite thin front to back. I think its 40"x15"x12" (LxHxW). I think 30 gals are usually shorter and wider.

    Oooh the drama!!

    I went to the pet shop yesterday because my mum offered to drive and I needed to pick up some frozen mice and rats for my snakes anyways and thought if there are any nice fish, I can pick them up seeing as the tank has finished its mini cycle. So I went along.

    Went straight to the marine section and it was pretty empty. A few gobies, flame angel, random fish and then tanks of clowns. They had "tank bred perc clowns" which im 99% sure are ocellaris clowns (the ones that I wanted). They all looked nice and healthy so I got 2.

    Got them home floated the bag. Instantly I could tell one of them was on its last legs. I have no idea what happened on the way home or in the bag but within about 30 mins, he was dead. Poor thing. By this point the other one was swimming around checking the place out and was fine. So I got my mum to phone them (im no good at returns) and she got them to switch it for a new one.

    Long story short, my mum makes them give me a new big one, bring him home, settle him in and leave them alone for the night.

    Woke up this morning, turned the light on, and then layed in bed watching them for about an hour lol They seemed to have settled in well. They don't seperate and dance around eachother. They are extreamly active and fast.

    I have tried to get some pics but its to hard, they are all just orange blurs. I will add some later when I get some clear ones.

    I already cant wait to upgrade!

    Tried to get a few pics of them, excuse the watermarks, took them before I gave the tank a wipe down.
