Thanks Dave but I'm good for bulbs. I've still got about 6 months left on the other two and I just stuck one of the original bulbs in the centre to replace the burnt out one. When are you going down?

It will be next week now, you want to take a day off and go for a road trip? just be one day down and back, most likely Thursday.

Can't make it this time, but definitely something we should do.

Holy crap Chromis are prolific little buggers! Once a week like clockwork. The female (?) guards the eggs from all intruders, even keeping the Tuskfish and Lunare Wrasse at bay. The eggs are always laid in the same place; out in the open on the end glass.
From the thirteen I originally bought in January '09 I am down to five. Since arriving at five the bickering stopped. I suspect I now have one male with a harem.

No photos for us Lance?

Sorry, no camera tonight. But I will take some.

Neat!!

They get pretty aggressive when paired or what? I'm down to 2 and they are definitely displaying some courtship-style behavior. I'm thinking I don't want them to get jiggy...

They're Damsels. That's what they do: pick on the weak one until it's gone and then move on to the next poor soul. Funny thing is though, I only had a couple of spawns when I had the larger group. Now that the group is five they spawn regularly.

Maybe you should sit them down and give them 'the Talk'.
