And So It Begins...

it had been cycling for 3 weeks wen i put the clowns in.

 

[shibby]

my clowns have settled in well and arent shy at alll brave little things.

today i thought id go aiptasia hunting and get rid of the one in the tank, you can imagine how people question an 18 year old asking for a needle at a chemist .... they didnt have any so i had to settle for a syringe the aiptastia has disapeered now so i dunno wether thats good or not!!

and another question my timer for my lights stopped working and i have no idea why, any one have any thoguhts on why it would just stop working

theres another update a new fish has joined the 2 clowns now ....

*drum roll*

a coral beauty has become the new member! alot shyer then the clowns who have chosen to be on show 24/7 the coral beauty is preferring the rocks so far! it has been feeding though i ensured i got the food to the back of the rocks and kept the clowns busy at the front!

he/she is a bit too shy for photographs yet only ventures out of the rock really to look at the front and back it goes!!


while at the lfs i also told the guy wat fish i woud like him to order in, one every week or 2 so i dont get over eager and he said i dont have to take it if i order it depednding on the price! the fish i listed were :


pseudochromis frimani

Oxycirrhites typus (longnose hawkfish)

Paracheilinus carpenteri (carpenters flasher wrasse) or Paracheilinus filamentosus (filamented flasher wrasse)

Gobiodon atrangulatus (green clown goby)

Oxymonacanthus longirostris (longnose filefish) ive heard these are hard to keep though so im gonna have to research it alot more!


all comments good or bad welcome

 

[shibby]

Nice lookin CB . Watch out for those hawkfish, they can be aggressive, and coral munchers...

 

[shibby]

cheers for the heads up! thats 2 of the list gone already, hawk n the filefish since i did the reseacrh on the filefish and the oulooks not good for the fellas in aquariums!
