New nems

[GaryE]

Back in July I picked up four Gold Stripe Maroon clowns in preparation for an anemone/clown tank. They were tiny little guys, no more than half an inch long.

Today was the day to get a nem for them to love.

LFS had a really nice BTA attached to a rock. There was a smaller one on there also. He was really struggling to get the smaller one to let go, so I bought both...

I use a basket to acclimate the fish to the nem. This pic is 10 minutes after releasing everyone back into the tank. They were in the basket together for about an hour....

Very nice. I recently added a midnight to my Flurry that I’ve had for over a year.....

They became best friends, in the Anenome with 4-5 hours.

I know some people have clowns kill each other quickly, but I had zero issues

These 4 are from the same clutch, but they do tend to fight... I think that's going to stop now.

It was a crazy good deal. Couldn't pass them up.

Of course both nems decided to move, now I can pull out that extra rock and put it in the sump!

Hopefully their mouths will heal up now that they aren't constantly bickering..
