Finally; FISH!

[chuckularone]

Well, yesterday was the big day, after all of the research, and nearly 2 months setting up and cycling my tank, I have added my fish.
I was originally going to put a pair of Jawfish in this tank, but after careful consideration I felt that they wouldn't be the right fish.
I went mainstream for my first foray into Saltwater Fish Husbandry and got a pair of Clowns.
My tank (20 gal FOWLR) is stocked with the following:
4 turbo snails
8 blue leg hermies
about 100 bristle worms
about 1000 little shrimp
TNTC pods
--and--
2 Clowns (About 1" in length each)
Here's one of them:

Very cool! I cant wait to stock my tank. I'm in my 3rd week of cycling now. What type of clown is that?

Now that you mention it... I don't know.
I was looking at "Trues" at the LFS but they all had small white spots all over them so I started looking at another tank down the rack and bought the pair in there.
I didn't even think to ask. They were just FAR healthier looking.

Congratulations!!! I can't wait to get there myself. I do believe I will be doing to same after my tank is fully cycled.

Looks like Amphiprion Ocellaris or False percula to me.

My friend works in Manhattan. It took him 6 hours to get home (To NJ) last night. But at least he gets to work from home today.
I'm sure it won't be the last time either.

Grats on the first fish. That is always the best feeling. They look nice too. Very happy for you.

i spent the night in JFK airport and the only thing on my mind was all my tanks back home in the black out. My bro was home and luckly was able to restart to filters and do a check on everything.
Flight was cancelled after being stuck in the airport for about 24 hours....home now and tanks are all 100%.
