Do clowns like company of their own kind?

the rock in the upper left hand corner looks unstable, you might want to put some super glue (gel) on it so its connected to the piece of tonga branch, unless you like avalanches

Sue I know this is off topic but I have been wondering what type of turtle is that in your avatar? Is it a baby turtle or are there turtles that do not get much bigger than that. Thanks

It's OK to use superglue in the tank? I mean, obviously I would take the rocks out and not put them back in till the glue is dry, but I would have assumed that crazy glue would give off some toxin or chemical that could be harmful. If it really is OK to use, here's the next dilemma: I would imagine the parts of rock that would be receiving the glue would need to be DRY first but if I let live rock dry out it will have die off, right? Plus, aquarium rock is so porous - Super Glue???????
The turtle in the avatar is a newly hatched Eastern Box Turtle. I don't know of any turtles that stay that small - these guys get to be about 6" to 8" long.

hard to believe I know but it is safe to use super glue in your tank. you dont have to take the rock out and let it dry off. Its important to use super glue gel because it for the most part stays put where the other kind runs quick. all you have to do is take that top rock out put some glue on the spots that it will attach to the other rocks give it a second then put it in place and hold it there for a minute so that it takes hold.
alot of people also use super glue gel when they are making frags or you can also glue a frag to a piece of rock in your tank so it stays where you want it. again I know its hard to believe but I and many others have been using it for years with no problems at least that I have ever heard of.
btw, thanks for answering my other question.

I did my adding backwards then what was suggested above! I had my clowns first before my goby. In fact I think they were my first fish I bought that were not in there already. Bought the tank used and there was a gramma already. I have not seen any issues with the goby and clowns yet and this has been a few weeks. Hoping all stays well. I want a pair of those black "can't remember name" clowns and wish you could mix clowns. If I want to do that I will have to seriously think on getting rid of mine :(

it depends on the age of the clowns and the size of the tank, also sometimes they will fight and sometimes they wont, it's just less likely if the clowns come in last IMHO

Hope you stacked your rocks before the sand was added. The pistol shrimp / goby pair will dig near a rock and don't want you're rock to collapse.
