All they do is host in there and wait for food to come by close enough and they take a bites... A pair of LAzy @ss!! :D :D

Guess who else got True Percs?! :shocked1:

Just acclimated them and put them into the tank. It's already dark, so I'm sure they just didn't see the two anemones just sitting there! The Yellow Tang has been circling them flaring his fins...but hasn't made contact. Let's hope things will pass without any incident!!!

What's interesting to me is that all my fish so far (except Purple Firefish) have gravitated towards one side of the tank over the other. I can't quite figure out why. I dropped the Clowns off on the less populated side (where the anemones happen to be), but they have slowly drifted to the other end, which already houses the Yellow Tang, Coral Beauty, and Marine Betta. I think the current is pretty much the same on all sides, there are rocks all over. I can't think of why they all seem to prefer that side. I'm hoping come morning the Clowns will move back to the other end - if the Tang doesn't chase them away! :irked:

I think fishes usually like to stay on the side that has more fishes. I think its their way of staying safe. Just like on the street, if there are more people on one corner, more is gonna crowd there and less on the other side..

Doesn't them crowding one side lead to agression? The Yellow Tang has been circling non-stop, even though the Clowns are sleeping! I think the Tang tried to chase them away and one went to the middle of the tank, while the other returned to the corner. So...now they're separated! :irked: The Tang isn't sleeping...kinda creepy to see him stalk them like that! I guess it's nature, but still. I hope he doesn't take things to a physical level! :mad:

Congrats Gmandese! :smokin:
