Apologies for the incoming storm of pictures, it’s almost impossible to get the still to focus well enough. It’s been a week of getting my clowns (and firefish, but I’m not too worried about that brine shrimp vaccuum) and I just wanna make sure they’re looking alright so far. They seem to take food well but I’m not too sure if they’re getting enough food in them. Everything is getting fed frozen brine, mysis, flake, and pellet that I alternate feeds/combine to give them a bit of variety.

As for water params everything has been looking good, ammonia/nitrites are 0, nitrates around 10, ph 7.8-8.0, and salinity is 1.022-1.023. Running a fowlr so I’m not too worried about other params for now but I got my water tested and the LFS and they got the same results. I still have some fish waiting to be delivered so if everything remains stable for the next day or so then I’ll start getting the rest of my inhabitants in as well.

Yeah they're around 2.5 inches. That's a relief though, I was a little worried they might be on the thinner side.

If only I could get them to eat like pigs lol, it's been pretty hit or miss with em so far but they seem to take to the frozen brine pretty okay. Flakes and pellets are going to be the next hurdle.

That's a black storm right? When I was setting up my tank I had no idea that people were able to breed clowns into all these different variations. I actually considered a longfin before I realized how expensive some of them could get

Right? So the small ones are blood orange and a regular clown, the big black ones are a darwin (female) and a black ice (male, not a storm) and the other two are maroon clowns, the female I have no idea what mind of maroon but the male white one is a gold nugget maroon.

I haven't fallen victim to multi tank syndrome yet (at least for salt water) but if I do I'm strongly considering getting something like that black ice LOL
