Farewell, Mr Domino Damsel

Recommended Posts

Well after trying for a while, I finally captured my Domino Damsel and sent him off to a friend. That fish was the worst thing I did to my tank. He had a bad-attude and was just plain evil. Getting rid of him is the best thing I have done for my tank in a long time. My fish are swimming out in the open more; my fire shrimp has reappeared after 2 mths of not seeing him, and I saw my serpent star as well.

 

There is joy in the tank once again :wig:

I saw this in the wild when I was on my honeymoon in Tahiti. There were tons of them in the anemone which was well over 2' across. I don't believe it was a carpet, though, more likely a long tentacle based on my minimal knowledge.

 

Traveller7 had a picture of numerous clowns hosting in an anemone from one of his tanks and if you take a look at BRK they have some skunk clowns sharing a small bulb anemone in their invert tanks.

i have had alot of luck keeping three together 3 clarkii and 3 ocellaris(sp?) i think just getting them when they are young helps...

 

i could be wrong about the species of anemone cause it was a while back...but i think a domino anemone pairing would be different...i might try it one day...lol
