Hi All...
I added my 1st "Real" fish to my 46 Gal this evening...I picked up 2 Clownfish today at my Local Fish Store, Drip Acclimated for 2+ Hours (30Mins Temp in Bag, and a little over 2hrs Drip in Bucket).
I'm not sure if they are Ocellaris or True Percula, but I would have to guess Ocellaris based on the price. I didn't really ask at the LFS and it wasn't the "Saltwater Expert" that helped me get them from the tank. I will try to post pics tomorrow once I turn the lights and stuff on in my tank, and maybe the experts here can help identify.
One is probably 1.5" or so and the other is .75"-1" and both fairly "bright" orange in color.
My tank is barely a month old, so after a while (6+ mths), I'd like to think about adding an Anemone for them, but hopefully they will be like living in my tank.
The LFS said they would eat flakes, but it seems people here lean more on a combo of flakes, pellets and frozen, possibly with some Garlic if they are picky... should I try flakes and see how they do, or should I go ahead and pick up some other types of food as well?
I'm very happy to have some 'color' in my tank!
