Comments on order before I place it - Aquarium Advice

Bearfan · 05-05-2005, 07:31 AM

Time has come to add to the system. Here's the list:

(3) Ocellaris Clownfish (Tank Bred)
(25) Astreas
(1) Rose Bulb Anemone
(1) Purple Plate Coral Short Tentacle
(1) Super Colored Colony Polyp

I linked them all to Liveaquria where I think I'll order from since this adds up to $225 and that's the free shipping level.

You're comments are well appreciated.

Sounds good to me...

Three's a crowd. You'll end up with a "fifth wheel" so to speak. Only get two and specify they be 1" at most.

I heard that if you have a pair of clown fish, one will eventually turns into a female. Is this true?

Usually the bigger one will chage sexes. You are correct!

I thought it was the smaller clown that changed...but either way, yes they'll change gender to form a 'proper' mated pair.

Are you sure you want to go with an anemone in a new tank? All advice I've ever heard (and thus dispensed) was you need at least 6-9 months of stable tank before you add an anemone. At $60 for a rose bta, I'd be super wary.

Hey Malkore, I think he is adding to his already mature tank. I think.

Bearfan · 05-05-2005, 02:16 PM

This is going into my mature tank. It's 1.5 years now.

Bearfan · 05-05-2005, 02:18 PM

Really my only concern is the Purple Short Tentacle Plate Coral because i have no experience with them.

I'll cut the percs to 2...or I could go to 4 or 5?

I think I rather like the idea of a school of them. Advice?
