I took the plunge - Thursday, December 29, 2011 10:02 PM

Wednesday I'll be getting a new little percula to go with my platinum perc.  In additian I have coming two Tomato Clownfish , Amphiprion frenatus; two Clarkii Clownfish, Amphiprion clarkii; two Pink Skunk Anemonefish, Amphiprion perideraion; two Cinnamon Clownfish, Amphiprion melanopus.  I'm so excited!!!! They are all small, so hopefully they won't be sexed yet. Just really excited. Needed to tell someone lol. I'll get them this coming Wednesday.
 
This will hopefully give me one pair of A ocellaris. One pair of A ocellaris x Darwin. One pair of Perculas one being Platium. two tomato clowns, two clarkii clowns, two pink skunks, and two cinnamon clowns.
 
I have a proven pair of A ocellaris. The pair that's A ocellaris x Darwin is really feeling frisky. obviously none of the others are paired or mating. It's going to take some coaxing for that to happen. I have a fresh package of breeders blend to smooth the process out

They are all going into their own tanks right off the bat. Net setups. Sponge filters for most. HOB for the others. I'll plumb them together later on.

Here they are all in tanks.  Some are kinda bigger than I thought they would be, which is nice! The percula I had ordered came in DOA. It was a beauty too. More of a picasso than a regular perc.

Thanks! I just hope that some of them, if not all pair up. I've been lucky so far.

I lost one of the pink skunks last night. I'm going to replace all that I've lost. Hopefully with a smaller one. Weather's good right now. Should be a good time to do it.
 
All the others are staying side by side. I'm loving it!
 
they eat cyclopeeze and Rod's breeders blend. Also some TDO each day.
