I took some pictures of the clown fish I just bought. I need to clean the algae off the glass so I was having a hard time focusing, but I got a couple decent ones of the same fish. I bought two and they seem to get along great. I just got them last Tuesday, but they had settled in within 5 minutes of adding them! I believe the clowns are tank raised because they eat new life spectrum pellets and even tried flake food the second day I had them. They will now eat new life spectrum from the top of the water right when it hits on day 5!

Here's one of the yellow clown goby I bought as well

The tank is a 29 gallon, AC110, rotating power head, 190 watts of 6500k light (170 PC, 20 t-12 flouro). I set it up in early November with about 10 pounds of live rock and 20 or so pounds of rock from a previous freshwater setup. Within two weeks I had coraline algae and green algae growing on the glass and rocks. I bought 6 red legged hermit crabs, and 5 astrea snails, which helped tremendously with the algae and they still do a pretty good job. I added a condylactis anemone in early December. I realize it isn't recommended to add an anemone to a new tank. I studied books for over a year before I felt comfortable enough to try my hand at saltwater. I've been keeping cichlids for over 10 years, and I am a marine biology major, it was only time before I came over to the darkside...:bum:

Thanks for looking:rollface:

I love pink skunks. Almost impossible to find around here.

They are really nice looking fish, but their personality is what strikes me the most.

They almost never stop moving!
