    SEE you should have just ordered goldfish from me I could have shipped that day how I won't have any for sale till next year, but then you have needed another tank set-up so that would have been a whole other can of worms

    thanks :D it was so cute i found my female clown swimming next to Princess, which i now think is a male. And she's totally ditched the male clown for the firefish. Imagine! Helfrichi Firefish and Clown babies!

    Hey kiddo, just following up to check on the newbie in the tank...hopefully it and the clowns are still doing good!

    I picked out the discus and they'll be coming home on Friday the 20th (I'm having the store quarantine them for the week). In the meantime I posted some photos of both the tanks and picked up some really nice cardinals :)

    very nice...I'm thinking that if I ever try saltwater again I'm going to go with an oceanic biocube. Now will emerald crabs eventually go for your fish as well or are they algae only?

    biocubes would be fun, and since you have experience in sw, it shouldn't be to hard.

    And as far as the emerald crab and eating fish, i was worried about the possibly eating fish so i did some intense research and it sounds like they are mainly algae eaters, but i know once my bubble algae is gone i will have to supplement him with something, probably like seaweed or nori, so he doesn't go hungry.

    lol i have no idea of a name, he's too freaky to name :)

    he's been on his back but he's been able to somehow crawl, i tried flipping him back over with the handle of my fish net but he just moved further into the rock, so i'm hoping he can flip himself over and live
