do your clowns get along? i wish i could replace my tangs with a pair of clowns, but i'm afraid whatever kind of clown i put in won't get along with the maroon i already have in there

The site and your tank are fantastic Doug! Nice stocking level, it is refreshing to see someone else that keeps a low fish load like I do

James, Its nice to aqua-scape. Sometimes hard to reach though.

Thanks Steve, And they are all tank bred, except the pair of chromis.

Huz, I had the pair of orange skunks living in the bubble, when I decided to add the tomato,s. I, of course, was ready to remove the skunks to another tank if bothered.

The tomato,s moved right in & everyone got along. Momma tomato as the boss, her honey next, then the larger skunk & finally baby skunk, who quit growing. I guess it figured staying small was the safest.

Momma tunes them all in once in awile but thats all.

Sadly, when I had the toxin problem during my move, I lost the largest skunk. The tiny one is now growing to take its place. The two tomato clowns never bother it and lives happily in the bubble coral. Seems similar to the wild pecking order I have read on.

What is funny, is how the 2 species are intermixing like the same species would in the wild. Does that mean if daddy clown passed away, the next in line would be the remaining skunk.

Does that mean we would have blue striped cinnamon skunks or orange & white skunk tomato,s.

Oh my. I never knew. I gave the author permission to use the pics sometime ago, but we did not know when the article was being published. They were going to let me know. Which month was it?

Was the pic one thats not on my page. I have an excellent shot of the male hovering in the bubbles, just like an anemone. I have never shown it because of that reason.

I must get the issue to show Bob & Margret,{thats their names}

Thanks for letting me know that.

Thanks Steve for the info. Here is the pic I was saving. I thought it was the better.

Crap, did that ever come out big. So much for changing the size just on your page. Guess it needs to go back to the Kodak program.

If its to large James or Chucker, ket me know and I will resize it.
