Puffer Chick's 46 Gallon Bowfront Reef

Haha I peeked in on them when they were in the spot and they came out. They seem very personable. I just hope they play nice with the other additions

 

Congrats on the new clowns! I really like black and whites. I may add a pair of those to a frag tank when I get it set up. Good luck with these, I'm sure they'll do well for you

 

thanks they bring so much life to the tank. It's nice to see active fish because my puffer is a fat and lazy fish who doesn't really do much and would rather sleep

 

Clowns are so amusing to watch. Very entertaining watching them wiggle around. They will probably even eat from your hand - just rinse in RO water and get a nice sized flake and give it a try (once they are acclimated for a day or two). My clown, anthias, and tang eat from my hand now

 

Wow, even your anthias?! That's fun!!

 

My anthias is a very, very social fish. I was surprised when I picked it up, so many are shy. It "paired up" with my maroon, and the two swim around the tank together. My tang hid for a couple days, and now he follows me around the tank. Very happy I have social fish, I don't like ones that hide. ;D

 

How cute!! You really lucked out. Okay, done hi-jacking your thread Puffer!

 

That's awesome. I don't have flakes yet but I'll get some. I offered them some frozen brine and mysis earlier and didn't go for it so I'll try again tomorrow. I still need to get garlic also.

 

Haha no worries about high jacking I don't mind

 

Haha our clowns nibble my fingers when they're hungry...food or no food. What's really funny is they still "wiggle" swim, even when there's no flow in the water at all. It's weird.

And don't worry about tail nicks. New fish will tend to get their tails scratched up. I think someone told me it was because of the rockwork. Fish will accidently rub their tails on rocks as they explore their new tank, but eventually they won't hurt their tails anymore and a healthy fish in good quality water will heal its tail up in no time.

Our clowns, coral beauty, firefish, and pygmy angel all had the same style of "scratches". All healed up. Our wrasse never had it I don't think...but he's such a rock hog anyways so I don't think he ever even uses his tail. Just zips around. And of course are goby and blenny do more sitting than swimming, so they've never had problems.
