YWG hanging with the Clowns

[LongWayHome]

Recently upgraded the three of these to a 40g and found them all hanging out today.

Watched for about 10m since it's new behavior to observe. The YWG did eventually go back to perching and doom stare its reflection down, but was surprised that everyone was so chill.

Is this a stress indicator or are they all just enjoying the current?

Getting them all in a larger tank has been really awesome. Regret not starting with a 40g out the gate.

Not exactly sure what the question is, but my clowns often swim in front of the powerhead. Sometimes my blue hippo does as well. Most of my other fish just swim everywhere.

No real question, just a fun observation to share is all. Granted if folks had input on a similar experience and if it's something to be concerned about, that'd be welcomed information.

Mostly just wasn't expecting the goby and clowns to be swimming with each other mid water column.

My clowns are the cool fish of the tank, all fish come to their corner to visit them. I've seen my tail spot blenny swimming in their goni garden with them and they allow it. Its funny, I've never had the experience of aggressive or mean clowns, mine have always been chill.

My pair are also chill, but they care about no one, and no one cares about them.

If I have a cool fish its the lawn mower blenny. It swims funky, it sits in the zoa garden, or on the top of a toadstool, or inside a clam shell, or props its head on top of a hammer. She she eats, she eats violently, and her little face looks like a tiki mask.

What size did you get this buddy at? I've seen my LFS carry one the size of an AAAA battery and figured it might jump out my mesh cover. I like their personality a lot!

Maybe a smidge larger than that. When on the hunt for them, they all seemed around the same size...didn't really see large ones.
