Pricess Coral, I think you are right.

YF will hear the screams from where he is.

 

[Trod]

Go on YF show us what you're made of!!!!

Im sure I will work a way to avoid the territory issues with T. How long does it take them to mature does anyone know?

I think most clowns are quite slow growers YF, may need to check this.

What size is T now.

 

[youngfisher]

Hes about 2 inchs.

Ay up, what the heck is going on here then - I spend a day away and look what happens

Slap one comes to you for buying the maroon clown without first checking suitability
Slap two comes for even daring to suggest that a cardinal is named after me

So now you have that most gorgeous fish you are going to have to stock fairly quickly to avoid some serious beating ups. At least you have the plastic box that s/he can go in for some time-out if things go a bit wrong - bit like the naughty step

2 inches so still a juvie but more a teenager!

[youngfisher]

Are we talking about stocking the fish over like 6 weeks or 6 months?

- & Seffie im sorry, I just thought all clownfish where the same, but now I know different.

All clowns are slow growers. I'd say you have about 3-4 months to get stocked from 2"

Ok, quick little update just took some photos of the clown, and a "starfish". I've never noticed it before, is it reef safe?

[seffieuk]

I wouldn't worry, i have one in mine too along with the asterina's also in the photo. Mine seem to eat algae not coraline

Ok, I have mixed up two cubes of Frozen Brine Shrimp in a container with salt water, how long will this brine shrimp be ok for?
Its in a sealed tub in my room, so will it go off at any stage?
Also, I put a tiny bit of brine shrimp on one of the corals, and then the hermit came and attacked it and took it!
Im thinking of rehoming the hermits tbh, there a #### with my corals.

Little lesson I learnt YF is to wash the brine/mysis shrimp in ro once defrosted as the juice (cant think of a better description) is full of nitrates or produces lots of nitrates.

I am not sure how long it will keep as its already dead I ususlly cut bits of mine straight from the freezer swill it in ro and feed it to the fish for one fish you wont need much at all I use 1/4 a block for 6
