I was definitely thinking chromis would be cool, but remember that it's best to have three. I don't think I'd like that. That's why I steered away from green chromis in July. I love clarkii clownfish, but I'm really leaning towards a b&w or true perc.
 
Well my tank is no longer fishless!!! I bought a canelback shrimp, pajama cardinal, and a clarkii clownfish. The pajama cardinal is pretty small right now. The rest are normal size though.

Hooray!!!
 
Haha yep! I know it's a lot to add at once, but It was hard not to control myself. I forgot how cool fish were in fish tanks lol.. I saw a bubble tip nem for 40$ there but it was huge.

Well I got the clown, so what I'll do is buy a really small clarkii clown the next time and the anemone with it.

Nice!!! Thats a lot to add but i trust youll keep up on the pwc's;) thats awesome sooooo pics?
 
Haha yeah it is, should I do 10% per week or should I do more? And soon, it's kinda hard right now because they are shy. The clarkii hasn't taken a liking to the frogspawn which is a good thing I guess.
 
The fish are all out and about now, the shrimp likes to hide though. I've been trying to take pics, but i need practice lol. So what should my pwc schedule be?
 
10% a week is a good way to go. If you see nitrates going higher slowly over time you'll need to bump it up to a little more (15%). If you see no nitrates you'll be able to sleep better even if something happens and you miss a water change here and there.
 
Yeah I gotcha. I was just wondering if It was any different because I added to fish at once but the tests will tell me that. Here's pics!

Thank you! The pajama is extremely cute, the clarkii is being a pain in the butt though. He hides if you walk up to the tank. I couldn't take any pics so I moved backed up to see if he would come out. He did.. But it was too blurry to take a pic. Right when I got a good position, he hid lol..
 
and as the 1500th post of the thread, More (nicer) pics!!!
