Coral Hind November 21, 2013 Share November 21, 2013 Is it an A. percula or A. ocellaris? Snowflakes are ocellaris clownfish that have the extra white mutation. Picassos are percula clownfish that have the extra white mutation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke November 21, 2013 Author Share November 21, 2013 I will take him for $15 if you dont want it.. I already gave him a name and grew quite fond of him. Snowflake or not… well we already established that; not. He's staying with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke December 28, 2013 Author Share December 28, 2013 Sad ending for the little guy. Found him right beside the tank on top of my top off container. Don't understand why he had jumped. He was such a peaceful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeMr.703 December 28, 2013 Share December 28, 2013 (edited) It happens unfortunately. Someone may have been bullying him into a corner at night. Easy Come, Easy Go.... right?? Lol. Nonetheless, Sorry to hear my friend. Edited December 28, 2013 by TheyCallMeMr.703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime December 28, 2013 Share December 28, 2013 Fish jump, sorry to hear. My clowns jumped all the time when they were smaller. Since my nem, I don't think they have moved more than 12" from it, in any direction. Consider a top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt LeBaron December 28, 2013 Share December 28, 2013 Cheap netting top kits from BRS. Pays for itself the first time it saves a fish, I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime December 28, 2013 Share December 28, 2013 Not to hijack this thread, but what do reefers do who put net covers on their tanks, but have overflows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDRDATA December 28, 2013 Share December 28, 2013 Not to hijack this thread, but what do reefers do who put net covers on their tanks, but have overflows? I can't speak for everyone, but on my tanks with overflows I made the screen covers a little "short" and then cut down some eggcrate to fill in the gap. Seems to work pretty well.

zygote2k December 29, 2013 Share December 29, 2013 what overflow do you know of that projects above the tank trim where a screen top would sit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime December 29, 2013 Share December 29, 2013 what overflow do you know of that projects above the tank trim where a screen top would sit? My return pops over a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt LeBaron December 29, 2013 Share December 29, 2013 (edited) You can either just cut a hole in the netting for something that pops up or build the frame around something that is on the edge of the tank and would prevent the frame from sitting on the edge of the tank in a location. In my tank I have a hole cut in the netting so that the feeding tube for my seahorses fits through.

gmerek2 December 29, 2013 Share December 29, 2013 Darn was hoping to see this little one grow. I think they sometimes think the grass is greener on the other side of the tank. Unless you have a nem it appears its as addictive as crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke December 29, 2013 Author Share December 29, 2013 Thanks for all the advices all. My first lost was my yellow watchmen goby. After putting him in my 125. I've only seen him at night and he's easy always shooting for the surface. After that I haven't seen him anymore. That was over a month ago. I looked everywhere for him, overflow, filter socks, floor. I'm assuming he's off to a better place. The clownfish that jumped, he would always hangout by the powerhead, never once did I see him wonder off to explore the tank. Only fish tank mates were, a yellow tang, a blue hippo tang and a maroon clownfish. I know what you all are thinking, but the maroon was not aggressive towards the Picasso. I'm going to give this another shot. I got a snowflake(an actually one this time!) A black and orange mixed clown. And a RBTA They've been in for 12 hours or so and they haven't touched the anemone. Apparently crack is not for them, but maybe that's a time thing. Hopefully they'll fall to the dark side like all good clownfish. And then he moved… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke December 31, 2013 Author Share December 31, 2013 Well, this didn't take long. Not exactly what I had in mind either. Maybe I'll get another bta for the smaller clowns to host since the maroon is hosting the one I got for them originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 December 31, 2013 Share December 31, 2013 You have those clowns in with a maroon? That is a bad bad bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
