lol yea, i've had him for like 3+ years so far, probably ganna get another fish and maybe a cleaner shrimp

Thats alot of flow. It looks like your clown is in a tornado

haha actually most of that flow is all from the MJ 900, it was worse with the stock duckbill, clown actually likes it alot, its like exercise haha

:biglaugh:


Nice tank! But I do agree with James! Your clown looks like he/she is being blown around the tank.LOL

Love that gorgi!!!!!!:starfish:

 

[kidninja]

its weird that the clown fish basically is always at the top of the tank swimming against the flow. any reason why it is doing that? i rarely see it swimming towards the bottom, sides etc etc always at the top

 

[fcamargo6thave]

lol i actually like the colors in your tank but if you think you need more color than go for it the more colors the better

 

[kidninja]
