I thought they were basic (tendency to think school fish as easy fillers)but didn’t read on them yet, are they hard to feed?
How do the multiple clowns do? I swear my kid always wants another clown out of all the fish.
absolutely love the engineer gobies, but not the rockwork risk. Wish there were easier eel like fish for tanks
Multiple clowns can cause problems or work beautifully! I have 3 in my Display Tank - 1 female, 2 males - and 2 in my sump 1 female, 1 male. The 3 in the DT get along fine but the Female originally killed 2 different males I purchased for her. The sump pair were in the same tank when I bought them, both young and still make, and were added at the same time. They've been good for about 3 months but that can change anytime.
That’s surprising, I mean I always see multiple littles at the store but I assumed after that they’d want space (considering all the warning post). My two are so sweet & inseparable in a giant tank, are the three like that together?
The three hang out together constantly, they're almost in that "harem" status.
Awe, I better not let my kid see this. They’ll think it’s their opening for another clown. They’re already asking if they can just put another tank somewhere (part of me think it’s the limitation more than actual affection.
Mine are in the sump because it keeps them from walkabout and makes it easier to catch and remove for trade in at the LFS. I do have 1 in the DT.
I honestly don’t know how people get them off rocks, I could barely get mine off glass without feeling like I’d hurt it.
Some are, some aren't. They usually only give you 25%-50% of what it's worth but it's little to no trouble for you.
Thanks I’ll read into it. I wanna swap out my rocks already while my coral are in qt, I would have placed the nems in there already if it wasn’t for fear they’d be on the rock
That too, the fact they can just disappear after all the excitement lol. Bummer for sure
I have a flame angel in my 75 and he’s a favorite. He will absolutely destroy trachys and acans though. He will nip a little at my SPS but it doesn’t bother them. He doesn’t bother my zoas, mushrooms, leathers, duncan, trumpet, and pectinia. So it’s definitely a risk with angels but he’s worth it.
The trachy would kill me is it like noticeable or wake up and it’s dead? Maybe you can try a cage around it and train him
It’s noticeable and slow - nips at them until they start dying. I do have another tank so I moved it and it’s happy. I kept a clear cage over it for a while but the minute I took it off he was back at it.
Right back at it? Geez that’s aggressive, looks great in the new tank at least!It’s noticeable and slow - nips at them until they start dying. I do have another tank so I moved it and it’s happy. I kept a clear cage over it for a while but the minute I took it off he was back at it.
agreed
I have been looking at getting back into the hobby over the last year. I even have almost all the equipment. THIS is one fish I will have.Seen some recommendations for Flame Angels, I had one that was a complete jerk (bully and coral nipper). Had a Coral Beauty for a while that was a pretty well behaved, but now I have an African Flameback that is my favorite of the Angels that I have owned. Doesn't bother much of anything and eats Green Hair Algae to boot. IMHO it's a great alternative to those wanting a Flame Angel:
