My clowns have the zoomies since being put into the new tank. I will be posting a build thread soon. But wanted to share this. Gave me a good laugh! Haha!

I know, they are fun to watch. Nem tank with clown, will get a few other fish. Flame angle, coral beauty, some GSP and hammers. Not gonna go crazy on coral with this one. Might get a 200 to do that in. This one’s a SCA 150 internal volume is 120 though.

They can probably see reflections of themselves on the glass. Might not be a bad thing since they can't harm themselves by doing this, but in general with multiple clowns in the same tank, and with multiple species, be prepared for a lot of aggression, particularly coming from those maroon clowns!

Once that tank has anemones in it for the clownfish to host, I expect the aggression to subside. What are your plans for the tank? I see that you're in Sac. Have you seen any nice nems at Splash Aquarium? Every time I'm in the area I pay them a visit, and most of the time they have some nice ones.

All noted thank you, I did research and know that more nems means less aggression.

At one point I had 22 nems. All my greens took a dump with some bacteria. My three rainbows made it. So did the Colorado SB. But today as I was getting ready to transfer them to this tank the Colorado decided to walk into the filter systems! She was a 5-6” nem. As of now still alive, and trying to stay that way it would seem.

Hoping in a couple of months she grows back. I had them all in a QT tank for a week. All did good as I said aside from the greens. And on the last day it decided to act a fool haha. Feel bad for her, not even the money. Just hope she makes it! I will keep her in a cage if she looks like she will pull through and put her in a basket in the big tank.

But yes I know of Splash. Nice shop with decent pricing for sure. Wish they had a smaller 3” +- CSB would have picked it up. They had a massive CSB but it was a workers if I’m recalling correctly. Thanks for chiming in though!

Three of the 5 RBTA’s I still have. Pic kinda sucks, couldn’t get the phone to focus real good.
