Yea, I just worry he might be missing something in his diet, that the algae on the glass might be lacking..

That stand was for my FIRST tank I decided to do, a 54G, but I built a proper stand for this tank. I garuntee you could put a full size pickup truck on this new stand and it wouldn't break. It's heavy duty.

Thanks Greg. I'll have to get some photo's of those frags from you, posted up. Btw, do you remember which one you told me should be placed lower in the tank... I completely forgot after I got home with all those bags.

Thanks C. It was definitely worth the wait to get him. Not a single sign of stress from the time I added him to the tank. Eating like a pig, and I'm guessing in a week or so he will claim his position in the tank as 'Boss!!'. My Foxface currently holds it, but I can't see that lasting.

While I was doing some work on my tank today, figured I'd take a few shots of the frags I got from Snappy.

Rainbow Stylo:


Special K - Killer Cerealis:


Alien Freckles:


And a quick shot of Kush in action:

Well, I know I said I wasn't gonna try anymore clownfish in that other thread about "hard to keep" fish etc... But I wanted a pair of these Australian Black Percula's the last time Red Coral brought them in, but I passed on them and I have been kicking my self since... Must have been my lucky day, as I was in there today when a fish shipment came in...... Surprise Surprise, couple more Aussie Black Perc's, and I wasn't passing them up this time.

When I added the smaller guy first, my PBT, Coral Beauty and Foxface thought he was food for about 3secs... then left him alone, I added the 2nd bigger one, and she didn't didn't get charged the same way, but the copperband was sure checking her out.

Anyways, couple pics.

They seem to have paired up almost instantly... Hopefully the "female" doesn't attack the male, time with tell.


And because "she" wouldn't get out of the frame for any shot, I figured I might as well snap her portrait as well.

Yea, they are pretty nice, unfortunately they seem to have found a comfy place in the back right corner of the tank next to the CL intake... I don't know what it is about that back corner but my last clown LIVED back there too... must be the flow or something... Maybe I need a nem' to lure them out...
