On your website you list under "main tank" the only fish listed are 1 yellow tang and 1 yellow-tailed damel. Did you get rid of the clowns? Not to be nosey or anything, I just have nothing better to wonder about!

Hi FishGirl,
No, unfortunatly they both died.
I had lost a yellow tail damsel that had been 'pale' since a few days after I got it. After it died I noticed the Domino damsel starting to lose color, and about a week later he died. Shortly after that I noticed some white spots on one of the clowns so I FINALLY took your advice and set up a hospital/QT but I guess not in time. I had them in the HQT on day three of CLOUT meds when they died.
I kept the last yellow tail, along with all the inverts in the main tank for about three weeks with no problems before adding the Yellow Tang (we call it Tango, sorry hope you don't mind
). So far so good. At first I was worried because he didn't seem to be eating, but now he is pecking away at the sand and rocks.
I am still looking for a GOOD Porky Puffer (diodon hystrix) but none of the LFS have anything decent.
-Dennis

DENNISH, A PORKY PUFFER IS THE COOLEST FISH, BUT THEY WILL EAT INVERTS, CORRALS AND ANY FISH SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN IT'S MONTH.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss -- clownfish are awesome with the cutest little personalities! And no, I don't mind you calling him Tango -- that's a cool name for a tang, don't you think? I named mine that cuz when I feed him frozen brine shrimp (one of his favorites) he tries to get every single piece and does a king of dance in the process. And plus of course Tango sounds like Tang. Actually, my first yellow tang was named Tangy!
But porkypuffer's right -- you'd have to set up a seperate tank for a porky puffer if you want to keep all those cool inverts. it shold be a 50gal or more, and you could keep him with one of th emore peacefull types of triggers, like the niger, or a small picasso.
