    Happy Happy Joy Joy

    IMHO, not a good idea to have pink tips in a tank with clowns if it's the only anemone. It already ate one, sounds like you're feeding it clownfish to me.

    Percula with a belly

    I think it's sick. I have had Percs lay eggs and they never got fat first. Fish swimming "off balance" such as facing down is not good. You should post in the disease section.

    Temperature

    The general concept is, the temp should be the same as the natural environment of the livestock. Not to go below the highest low required parameter, and not above the lowest high requirement of any individual livestock. The stability of the temp is most important. Water may not feel warm to you...

    how do fish know theres glass???

    Maybe they don't see the glass, they're just trying not to swim into that other fish that looks just like them.

    List of fish/inverts that hobbiests should avoid

    I won't condemn all butterflies, they should only be kept by experienced aquarists, and for the most part not in a reef tank, but there are some fairly hardy ones. But heres a couple to definately avoid The Rainfordi, amazingly beautiful fish from Australia that seldom accepts anything to eat...

    Adding another clown

    I would not get a much smaller clown, a little smaller or larger, but not a very different size. Definately the same species. There are many clowns with different attributes, please state the species.

    Tomato colwn tanksize?

    If just the that one, 20 gallons. The rule of thumb is 1" of adult fish per 5 gallons water. Tomatoes usually only get about 4" in captivity.

    clown fish sex

    The dirty mag thing didn't work, the pages fell apart in the water. Actually, when you think about it, thats not such a far fetched idea. You show them pics of other clowns hosting anemones to get them to do it, and they even "flirt" with the clowns in the pics and try to host the anemone. I...

    Calling all experts(Morish idol)

    The odds of an Idol collected from anywhere but Hawaii making it into a petstore in the continental US is at least 10000 to 1. If a store has a live Idol, it's from Hawaii. I've checked in at least 500 Idols from those other areas and I never received one alive.
