I want clowns! I totally forgot it was to CT and not to the Midwest, think I was remembering you were from the Midwest lol. Me too! It probably takes some time to get sponsors involved. I personally don't need any prizes...I just want to participate and get my pico going LOL. Clowns are the perfect reef fish, I don't blame you! Yep, I'm from the Midwest. Moved to the west coast. And now planning for a move to the east coast . 15 hours ago, I'm Batman said: Does he work for Spectrum? Nope. But my neighbor does . 14 hours ago, RollaJase said: Tank looks fantastic Gena .

I don't mind moving at all. I kinda like. Here's a bunch of FTS's for the new page. I'm thinking this week I might take my open brain in to the LFS . The clowns live in it which will be upsetting for them. But they are killing it. They don't let me feed it. They always steal the food. And it is missing a little flesh in two place from being harassed all day long. I hate to do it but sometimes you just have to rip the band-aid off...it hurts but it's for the best LOL. 12 5 Quote Link to comment

I'm attached to it and so are they. But it will die if I don't do something. I think my tank is just too small for it. It never gets a break from the clownfish. Oh well. We'll all just have to deal. Maybe they'll take a liking to the paly patch. 2 Quote Link to comment

I harass those palys all the time when I clean the glass. Doesn't even phase them. I THINK they can handle clownfish . 11 hours ago, George P said: Question does anyone know what's this is please help Looks like tissue necrosis. As far as what caused it, it's hard for me to say. If you take a turkey baster and blast it, does the brown part disintegrate? If so, you need to cut off the dead part. It won't hurt the coral. Take some sharp scissors and just cut that all off. It doesn't look good. 2 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 No turning back now Actually that's not true...I still have my receipt . But look at the size of this thing!!!!! It's way bigger than I expected. Oh and Walmart sucks. I got this at Target . My Walmart was out of stock. This is 2 gallons...and so darn cute. The 1 gallon was even cuter but I thought I would appreciate the bigger size. Even though stocked I'm sure it's less than 2 gallons. I can totally haul this into a hotel room, right???? 12 4 Quote Link to comment

They get very lively when it's their dinner time. Which it was in that photo. I can walk in the room later in the day after they've eaten and they won't be as hyper. I think fish are smarter than we think . 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, it's definitely something I need to do soon.....sigh. It just needs some food and I'm certain it will perk back up. I haven't been able to feed it for months. I used to be able to keep the clowns away in other tanks, but in this one it's way more difficult. And the brain takes FOREVER to eat. At least if it was a fast process. But it's not. And I just don't have the patience to stand there for at least 30 minutes trying to get some food in it, while chasing away clownfish LOL. Quote Link to comment
