    ok good to know, i usually feed once every other day and i sometimes overfeed to make sure everybody gets enough food and between fish inverts and corals it all gets eatin. I guess i will really have to up my feedings. I dont have time to feed in the mornings, so is it ok to feed like within a few hours, because i usually get off of work at 3 and feed them around 6,

    k+ if you thought your clowns were pigs... Just wait till you see this little ones in action...

    You can program another feeding time. ( once a day is good enough IMO)

    thanks i actually like them, i didnt think i would, and they actually give some color, cant wait to see how they look with the lights on, and my moonlights come tomorrow so today and tomorrow are going to be exciting.

    my cleaner shrimp keeps on trying to grab the fish and clean them, and keeps on breaking up the school. I have also noticed that they eitehr stay together in a school or go off in paris, none are by themselves

    how much should i offer? before i got the chromis i would cut a thin slice of frozen brine and bloodworms and a few flakes all crunched up and even though it was a lot of food for 3 it was enough, think i should go with half a cube of each once a day?

    good to know thats an option too

    You will like the way their color appears to change from bluish to green depending on how the light strikes them.

    Good to know, I read that they should be fed 2 or more times per day. I do know if you have a good pod population that they will go after them.
