Who Gives A Fish Forums

whenever the firtideflow comes out of the rocks, the clowns just go for it - they don't care where it is in the tank, they'll attack it.

got it last sunday, so its been about a week now

Hi, I've just got a firtideflow that's probably gonna have to go back if my clownfish keep being aggressive towards it. I don't want the poor thing to get hurt. Can anyone recommend some semi-aggressive fish that'll be okay with my clowns if they start picking on them? My tank's 15 gallons.

hopefully the cardinal will take to the mysis straight off. i was told that's the stuff to get them onto frozen foods, but not entirely sure if that's the case.

Honestly, my frags don't live up to the pics on Jfox's site. They're pretty meh in person, if you want my opinion. Zeno4's pics are more accurate, mine looks similar to his.

I'm about 4-6 weeks away from getting a new fish.

I've got a soft spot for bangaii cardinal fish, and I've already got one in my 60l nano - it's the only fish in there at the moment. I'm thinking of getting another one, and they'll be the only two fish in the tank. Looking at pics of bangaii pairs ...

I had a similar issue with my cleaner shrimp, they both kicked the bucket within 24 hours of each other after 6 months in the tank. Got some advice and it seemed like low iodine levels were the culprit, they couldn't shed and that's what did 'em in. Maybe you're dealing with the same thing?

Can anyone spot AEFW in the dip water?

I'll post more pics tonight of other corals. Most sps have that dull grey look and no polyp extension, which is why I'm thinking AEFW.

The weird thing is, some colonies are thriving - amazing color and polyp extension. It's only the frags that have this greyed out look. Maybe AEFW haven't reached ...

The frag was browned out when it came in, about three inches tall. I do have some validas in the same tank, but no bite marks on them. Color and growth are off across all my SPS though.
