Clownfish acting weird

[xxxespoxxx]

Just bought a FPC at the LFS....did the normal procedure aclimating him to my tank and he's the only one in there other then a very small blue damsel..and now for the last couple hours he's just been chillen in the corner by my filter...i put food also and he does go for it....so should i be worried

I would say that you shouldn't worry. Just keep an eye on him
If he's eating thats good.
Hey you might not have to get an anemone (you dont need one by the way to have a clownfish) because he may be hosting the chiller

dont get an anemone unless your system will support it.

I mostly just threw the anemone comment in as a joke

He's still the same he chased the damsel once i seen... i got the joke and lets hope not and i do think the system we have would be a great home for a anemone just when the time is right

I'll just answer the question before you ask it if you dont know already
No... PC lighting is not good enough for an anemone

nova extreme T5 Lighting ? you don't think they are good enough

 

[srgvigil]

I'm not gonna answer because Im not really sure sorry

 

[srgvigil]

I know that the Extreme Pro is but im not sure about the extreme

From the first day and up to 3 days after the fish was placed into your tank is typically the acclimation time needed for it to get acustom to its new surroundings. It picked a spot it felt safe in. Now it is somewhat comfortable with your tank and has ventured out to check things out. At night, well thats where it has choosen to sleep, it likes the security of your chiller. And depending on the height of your tank and species of anemone your interested in keeping, yes the nova extremes or the pros can be good enough.
