What should I do with my girl

[denniscoy420]

I had 2 false clowns for about 3 1/2 years the big was the female and the small one was a male
well all of sudden i woke up and the fish was dead just floating in the water no marks, was eating 2 days earier, well my nitrates were a little high I did some water changes and change the filter,
well that was about 2 months ago I have been very busy with my other built 75 gallon
check it out... reef tanks dennis 75 reef tank
well I plan on making a order next week for the other tank and I was
thinking of getting another clown fish so she wont be loney
should I get a small one, wild, false,black white, tomato, clakeii,
or should I not get another clown and add a different fish for the tank?
please post thanks so much

noooooooooooo dont get a different species!!! if ur gonna get another clown then get the tiniest false perc u can find.

ok can I get a wild false so that maybe they will host to a anemone, also what kind should I get
carpet, saber, bubble?

I have 2 b&w false percs who love their long tentacle anemone, but then I've got 3 false percs in my 125 who love the return flow...but then I've got a clarkii who is an anemone slut. He'll tank to anything, but I would never have him with my false percs in anything smaller than my 125. He still will sometimes dart all the way across the tank after them!

I plan only having 2 clown fish in each tank, 2 false in my 30 gallon and 2 clarkii for my 75 gallon

check out my thread on reef tanks Dennis's 75 gallon reef tank

I would love to get a carpet for my 125 once I get my metal halide lighting, but I've heard that they're known fish eaters.
Anyone know how true this is? I've heard a lot of things that aren't true, so I don't even know what to believe anymore.

 

[denniscoy420]

I have heard that they do eat slow dumb fish that, also if u dont feed them enough a month
they are easy to keep feed them a half of a shrimp once enough and keep ur water clean

When I get my metal halide lights on my 125 that's gonna be the first thing I buy!

ive had mine in my 40 gal for a week now and so far so good. but my flame angel gets really close sometimes. i start panicing when it gets really close.

My LFS has a nice sized carpet nem that he says has over $600 worth of fish in it. Lol, he actually says he won't sell it to anyone because there is so much money in it. But just a possibility of something that COULD happen.

 

[denniscoy420]

u dont want it unless all ur fish in ur tank r really big because that carpet is eating fish by the day

 

[mandolihn]

i don't want it at all, i have my sebae and my rbta, i was just letting u know HIS experience with them to let u know they aren't always into eating just the slow dumb ones. lol, no, i would not be interested in an anemone that eats that much in fish. bad juju!

That really sucks! I really want a carpet anemone, but I would just die if it ate any of my fish...I love my fish! If only it would eat that damn damsel...
