Hi All, I did take everyones advice about 3 fish in a 10 gallon, so I bought a 32 gallon Bio Cube that I started today. I know the drill about cycling, thanks to you guys and this forum
This guy I bought never swims straight ahead, he wiggles and sways like Elvis. Yesterday he buddied up with my digital heater all day. This morning he hosted my intake tube. This afternoon he is taking a liking to my floating thermometer. I'm talking all day except feeding and then he is back at it.
Is this normal? It will be a few months before I put a BTA in as my 10 gallon is new and it will probably be 6 months for my 32 gallon will be mature enough for an anemone. Is this normal behavior for a wild clown? Are wild caught clowns used to hosting anything? I've attached a photo. I do have video, but I can't figure out on this forum to attach a video.
I'm just wondering if my LFS was playing me, charging 10.00 more for a wild clownfish. I rely on everyone's advice here before my LFS.
I did purchase 2 days ago a wild Ocellaris, juvenile clown. He was a little more expensive, so say the LFS as he was wild caught and not bred in captivity.
He is doing really well in my 10 gallon with my juvenile yellow tail damsels. Of course, one Damsel likes to bully at feeding time but other then that, they retreat to the two caves on opposite ends of the tank. No fighting, my bully damsel picks a fight at dinner and breakfast time. My clown paired up with my one docile Damsel. They are buddies.
I am just wondering as I have visited Petco and they had aqua-cultured Clowns for about 20.00. They do not wiggle and sway like my guy is doing. They just kind of swim around in the tank at Petco.This guy I bought never swims straight ahead, he wiggles and sways like Elvis. Yesterday he buddied up with my digital heater all day.
