Very nice setup!! Love the clowns!8)8)

 

Thanks, the clowns school and each take turns playing with the two green bubble tips. Just added two pajama cardinals. They don't seem to do much but are peaceful atleast!

 

Cool. That was the first fish I ever got. I was at school and when I came home my dad had gone to the LFS and got one. I was like wow that is a weird looking fish.(looked like my grandmothers quilt).;D Great hardy fish and non aggresive.8)

 

All the clowns get along fine, no fighting or anything? Won't one turn into a female and the rest males? I wonder what would happen then, if anything?

 

His tank is large enough and he may get two groups with more then one female.8) When in the wild it is not uncommon to see several subordinate males with one female. They should get along fine.

 

Wow that is a huge tank, should be fun stocking it. Looks great.

 

Thanks! Every night one clown, not always the same one will stay with the anemones. The others sleep in a group . As for stocking the tank, I was thinking a powder blue Tang next? I also was told that because fiji LR is volcanic at around 6months I will have a Hair Algae spike? Didn't make sense to me when the rock hasn't been out of water so why would it act differently at six months? Or release nutrients?
Can anyone tell me more about this?

 

Well as far as I know it will start leaching immediately. It may take a while to fully leach out but almost every tank will have some battles with nuisance algae.

 

Great thread; thanks for sharing, xpand. I like the dimensions. Nice choice of fish as well.
