First Fish!!!!

[jrbills12]

Finally after 4 and half weeks of cycling all the levels were perfect. So I went to seascape had them test to double check, and the sold me this mated pair of clown fish (the male is in the rock hiding). Let me know what you guys think!

I think they're perfect, eventhough i can only see one!!! Makes me miss my clowns......5yrs rip.......

Looks very nice! How much did you spend on the mated pair?

[jrbills12]

I spent 30 dollars on the pair. They had been treated for all illnesses (they didnt have any to begin with though its just procedure) and were great. I took them home put them on a drip and then added to the tank. Now they are swimming around happy and playing in the flow of my tunze 6065

Looks great! Just a tip for next time, you should QT all fish that you put in your tank. (IMO)

My LFS treats all fish for all illnesses before even putting them up for sale so it makes me worry alittle less

Whoa! For a mated pair, 30 dollars! That's a good deal.

normal miss bar pair is double that price... good deal

You guys think there is any chance they will have babies?

[Sk8r]

Bless you, there is very little chance you'll escape their having babies; bringing them up is another matter. I suggest you do a lot of reading on the type: go to the clownfish forum, and to the fish-breeding forum, and prepare to spend more money.

Haha you just scared me. I don't really have a ton of extra money to raise clown fish. What happens if I just let it go. I feel like id be killing fish then. I don't want to be cruel.

Nature would kill them anyway. Even if you try to raise them, 50% or more will likely die. And that's after you get some experience raising them.
