No lovers quarrels

No fights as yet to report with the clowns...the female is DETERMINED to host into a small bubble tip anemone that doesn't seem to want her intruding....quite comical as she is HUGE! The little guy just hovers in the middle until food comes along and he basically loses his mind. They both eat well, and look good. Lets hope that this tank is finally doing its thing!

Look into my bars...er eyes...


Down to Vic....have to check out the fish shops...and low and behold if Cora at Hillside doesn't have the most beautiful little maroon clownfish...eating, swimming and looks amazing...so we put it on hold and picked it up just before leaving town....while at the shop, Gordon says...hey have you seen this big female? You guys are lookin for a pair so why don't you put these two together and see what happens...so being who we are we did.....scary!

DUDE, what kind of mushrooms are those...can you smoke em or?

When we picked up our chromis today, I just had to have a really neat rock covered in neon green mushrooms ... its pretty cool. They are soooooo bright! Very very neat addition as we don't have much in the way of corals or stuff. Looks pretty neat but an anemone is creeping up....uh oh! Oh ya, Linny was able to "catch" this one with not much trouble...hee hee...if she ever reads this she will kill me!

(The picture shows the Mushroom in both 'daylight' light and 'twilight' light -- Lunchbox)

The one chromis with the lump? Yah, dead too...this is suckin bad! But the other 3 are lookin ok.....

Here a chromis, there a chromis, everywhere a chromis. chromis chromis

We bought some Green Chromis tonight from Ken and Linny. Checked out our puffer too...he's HUGE for the upstairs. Put in the chromis and our original went nuts. We didn't know if he was happy or freaked or what...up until this point he really thought he was a molly I think. Lets hope they make it out ok! One...that Linny and I caught is really really ugly. Its the only 1 out of a couple that I really DIDN'T want. Oh well, if you were catching them you would have just taken whatever went into the net too. Will have to watch a couple of them as 1 has a big lump on his side. The other 3 look good
