Default Clowns in my Torch

Took a few neat shots of my Clown Fish playing in the Gold Torch.

My little clown love's my torch, I think it is because the other 2 clown ( pos. both female) won't let him into the gbta.

They have been living there for about 8 months now. The torch is definetly getting bigger . They definetly enjoy living in it . They protect it but never take runs at my hand just other fish. I can hand feed them.

My clowns lived in my frogspawn for a long time but they eventually started to harm it. As they get bigger the tissue of the coral get more abuse.

Even the skeleton was growing "weird". Instead of forming nice straight branches... they were growing tapered... skinny at bottom and thick at the top. The clowns swimming as they do.. almost the comical waddle... between the branches caused them not to form while smaller and soft.

Now... my frog is not doing well. 14 heads but now dying off for some reason I cannot figure... except that had enough clowns. Sad day.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
