00W's AIO Smorgasbord

It's all good, we all see through Tim's facade and I don't always eat tacos, and I don't have anything more then a pair of clowns at the moment

I have 5 clowns.

That’s the third time I’ve heard that, including my own!

He was fine then one day the wife got up for work and he was on the bottom of the cage and lethargic and shaking, wrapped him up in a towel and brought him with her on her way to work and called our vet on the way to see what she should do and they said go there. So she did. By the time she got there he was coming around and had stopped shaking, they said he was of perfect health and if we didn't tell them what happened they'd say he had many many years of healthy happy life ahead. Our diet we were feeding him was perfect and he was the perfect weight. It was probably a seizure and if it happened again though it was probably a neurological thing and there's not much they could do. He only had one more seizure :worried-face:

Yes, but yours draw blood!

Only 3 of the 7... so far.

I want a lightning maroon clown... but that would require another tank and I need to get this 1st one in a respectable spot before I convince the wife I need another tank :grinning-face-with-sweat:

I put 2 in the 125 originally and had one in my Pico. Tore down the Pico and was selling the clown but she was in an acclimation box in the 125. She broke out and immediately accepted both males as family and they've been happy ever since. When I tore down the 125 and set up the 70, my Joker Nems went in the sump so I decided I needed another pair so I got a Mocha and a Black. One of the Nems just started hosting them last night!

Is it true that nems can nuke a tank when they die? My buddy told me they were hard to keep and nuked his tank but I also think he might have just not had an appropriate setup for a nem

Meet Felicia. She is the lone fish in my 20g and a mated pair of pistol shrimp.
She's killed everyone else that has entered her tank and will attempt to rip flesh from bone. Gloves are a must in her tank.

It's true that Nems can nuke a tank - even if they don't die. They have a chemical attack. If they die, they'll absolutely release a bunch of toxins that can be fatal.

Also depends on the anemone. I've had some splits of my lucky charms melt away. Tanks were fine.

I love Felicia!

So can most any softy though. Leathers can and will release toxins to attack neighboring corals. Sponges can release toxins...

She has her own thread! Lol

Seems like a high risk endeavor :thinking-face: I love the anenome clownfish pairing though

Oh absolutely. Usually they only release toxins if they're killed by a powerhead or something from my understanding. I've lost 3 or 4 Anemones with no ill effects to the tank. They just sort of faded away.

So would you categorize a anenome as any worse than a typical softy?
