Finishing up my stocking list

[nxb161]

See if anyone else has any experience with the PJs, but for me, yeah just floaters.

 

[carey]

I may not be into just floating fish. I kinda wnated to see them zip around and such.
I guess maybe I'll go with another pair of clowns then? And maybe just 2 of the pj's?

Oh I hate being indecisive.lol But glad I know now.

 

[nxb161]

Two pair of clowns in one tank, I thought that was hard to do.
As far as the PJ I started with one, and he kinda just floated in the back, so I thought add another, well the first wanted nothing to do with the second even though he tried to get close.... so I added a third.....well you get the point, I didn't go for a fourth. they are together sometimes, but more often not.

 

[carey]

I've heard in this thread I believe that as long as I introduce them at the same time and watch which ones I mix i should be ok. I was thinking regular percs or clarkii ones. I will be transferring my B&W'w to a 55 soon so that would be a good time to do it.

I think I will pass on the pj's. too many people say they just float. lol

 

[nxb161]

I just got a pair of clarkiis in a tiny setup from craigslist. well it was a 10G setup, but I put them in a 20G along with the LR I got from the 10G setup. so far its been 24hours, ammonia is still 0, and they're eating.. so I hope all goes well. Getting a piece or two of LR on Friday from my LFS, would like to build up to a good amount in there. I was told the pair were clearing off rocks from the original owner. So maybe once they get comfortable some breeding?

Awww the cardinals are so cute! if you want to see what they do you can look em up on YouTube. They do float a bit but I still find em interesting.....

 

[iDream]

5 might be a bit too muh IMO, try 3 at first and unless you see some fighting leave it at that. Pajamas seem like small fish but when they grow they're pretty hefty.

If you really want a tang I say go 6ft, 90Gs are just tall 4 footers, I'm personally not a fan of tall tanks though. And this would be something I would play it safe on, I usually would push the boundaries but not on this

Edit: I see you pretty much changed your mind, maybe try no centerpiece, just several single interesting fish. This would be a good tank for a flasher wrasse

 

[carey]

Do you think just one PJ would be lonely? I do find them interesting to look at but I'm not digging the just float and stare at ya thing. lol i wouldn't wanna waste my valuable fish real estate on alot of them.

I could and DO sit on a chair in front of my tank and stare at the clowns. I'm just fascinated by them for whatever reason. And I never even saw the nemo movie.

 

[nxb161]

I have one of the kitchen chairs in front of the 38G. The other two tanks are close enough to the kitchen table that I can sit there and watch them. Then there are tiny flashlights scattered around for nighttime spying.

 

[carey]

I have the same thing! I have a huge flashlight on the side of the tank so i can catch my sea hare moving around. I can never find him during the day lol

 

[Swimzebras]

I have my BED by my tank...... 

 

[nxb161]

No? Mine is out during day too. I do notice mine likes to hide itself in the sand now and again. It was eating algae off the powerhead today when I got home. I got my 12" tweezers and pulled a piece of grape macroalgae from the sump and put it in front of my sea hare. He took it right from me, was very cool!!

 

[carey]

That is cool. maybe i'll try to feed a piece of algae sheet later. he was munching on one the other day that the blenny grabbed off the clip. I love my sea hare. I just hope he has enough food to eat.

 

[nxb161]

I don't take any chances, if I don't see a piece of macro on the PH, then I put one in. (for anyone reading this, my sea hare is too big to get into the interworkings of my PH)

 

[MississippiFishGuy]

I believe multiple clowns aren't a good idea. I'd love them but I've heard some not good stories. lol

I have 6 clowns in total and they never fight maybe it because my tank is bigger or maybe I just lucky either way I would take the chance on getting more. I really want a few black clowns.

i wouldnt mind having 2 black clowns when i add some fish next week but no lfs has any

 

[carey]

I waited almost two months for mine. i got tank raised ORA's. Cost a pretty penny but I finally got them. I have a huge thread on here about it lol

 

[hackteck]

YouTube - Pajama Cardinal Fish im thinking 5 of those cardinals arent a good idea they just sit there lol

 

[Swimzebras]

Ok I've looked on YouTube and that's one of the more boring videos use seen of them. just saying....
