That looks like a really nice setup. I was hoping someone else would give some input than me. I think you will have loads of run watching your fish, especially the goby and shrimp together. Oh and the pair of clowns can be added together and one will take dominance and become the female. They don't need an aneneme to be happy.

I know cnlight but thanks for the reminder.
I personally think a 29gal is too small for any aneonme, long term.
I am sure they will host in any of the LPS's or softies I will be getting. If not, it's cool. As long as they are healthy.
Is it cheaper to buy two true percs than a pair? If I buy a pair, is it "guraranteed" they will become a pair? And not a pair of $60 fish?
Thanks,

[aarone]

well....you can buy a mated pair. They are more expensive but they are already mated.
aaron

 

[nick17]

OK, that's what I wanted to know.
I knew they were "mated" and it says that it comes with a larger female and smaller male. So I don't get two fish the same size then, I actually get the "mated" pair?

[aarone]

yup!
just go to your LFS and see if they have amated pair. MAKE SURE THEY ARE DIFFERENT SIZES. I wanted a mated pair and they tried to sell me two fish from different tanks.

USUALLY the LFS doesn't have any, but they have tons of clowns.. so I was going to get them from another online vendor.
Thanks,

[aarone]

[nick17]

[aarone]

[nick17]

Thanks aarone! I will TRY and post pics nearer my b-day.. b/c my mother just got out of the hospital not to long ago, we have tons of bills to be paid and cash flow is slow. So I must work to get anything I want around here.
And both my parents don't bother for a digi cam, so I will ask for a cheaper one $200- for my b-day and take pics then.
Thanks again aarone and everyone that helped!

A Flasher Wrasse will not do good in your setup for 2 reasons. First of all they are schooling fish and should be kept in small to moderate groups. One Flasher Wrasse is going to be extremely retiring and you may only see it as it as it darts from rock to rock! You'd be better off with a Royal Gramma or a 6-Line Wrasse!

 

[utahcutter]

Also with the digi cam. I've seen specials with them down as low as $70 lately. Only 2 megapixels, but it's still better than nothing, and if cash flow is tight could be the better option. Just a little FYI, since I really don't know what you are looking for.

 

[nick17]

Thanks BlackFish.. I've also read that they will loose their beautiful color if they have not other males to compete with. Onto the next beautiful wrasse..
utahcutter, just looking for a camera to give clear pictures. Not necessarly with a deep zoom or anything..
Could you give me a few names of good cameras below $200?
TIA,
