Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yeah that’s what I thought.

I just feel so sad for the other clown.
She seems lost
Oh I’m so sorry Parker. You can add another one, best if it’s much smaller. Until you can get a lid, go to hardware store and buy a pre- made window screen and put on top. I did that for first 3 months till I could afford and receive my lid.
 
Can I add another clown with this one?
Smaller, as long as you're prepared to separate if there are issues. You need to ensure that it's a male.
 
It’s ok if you don’t like Gonis- but I bet
YES!! Start shipping them Kev; I’ll take one and gladly pay over shipping
I think if I shipped them you would receive a bag of dirty water with a white birdsnest skeleton in it.
 
What was my question? :upside-down-face: :thinking-face:
You just need to know the answer, don’t eat clownfish! Idk (that is I don’t know for you older reefers) but I guess @Katrina71 doesn’t condone it.
 
I found him………….

He’s dead

I am crying right now.

He was under the tank.

I am so sorry Parker! They are our pets and every loss hurts.
 
Can I add another clown with this one?
I came home from vacation last March and my one clown fish had beaten the other nearly to death. He kept dive bombing him as I watched. He didn’t make it and they had been together for a year and a half. I bought another about a half an inch larger and they seemed to have bonded quickly.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. She is probably the one that rejected him honestly. When given the choice, the female will pick what we call a baby as a mate.
Yeah I thought they loved each other. They always stayed side by side. I guess they didn’t agree on something.
 
Also got to feed the fish, dogs kids and wife then I sit down and catch up with my friends.
I hope you are doing OK :smiling-face-with-smiling-eyes:
