    Hahah yeahh mine are the sameee way. I have to take these long tweezers I have and put a few pieces of food down by my yellow watchman's little hole.. He's coming around though. I'm adding a hawkfish tmrw, so hopefully he gives the clowns a little competition haha.

    I love my little clown goby, I would be so crushed if he died... I have had him for 2 years, one of my favorite little fish, I give him special attention :) I don't mind spot feeding things tho it makes me feel like im doin a good job :p I like hawkfish that will be exciting! post some pics for sure, hopefully the clowns will realize that they ain't all that :p

    Yah I'm trying to get my watchman used to me hand feeding him.. He'll think about it for awhile, but he still won't take it from my hand yet. My cleaners another story though, I can't put my hand in the tank without him jumping on me and have him "clean" my hand off haha. Yahh I'm excited about the hawk, it's a longnose hawkfish to be exactt.. But I'm sure my clowns won't pay too much attention to it, they're pretty much in their own little worlds. The shrimp follows them around alllll day like begging them to let him clean them, but they just keep blowing him off haha

    Your tank looks awesome! How could you hide it from us so long?! In seeing some of your other posts, it's a shame that your parents aren't on board with you. Hopefully they realize how rewarding this hobby is, and they stop and think that there are worse things you could be spending money on! I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this tank! Keep up the good work!
