Talking My new RBTA (& pair of Maroon Clowns)- PICS

hi everyone

I just got a new RBTA, and I'm really excited! My pair of gold-rimmed Maroon clowns adopted it right away.

It positioned itself along the lip of a cave, and looks great. Here are some pics! (The sponge filter is in there for my larval tank. The Maroons are spawning, and I'm trying to raise their frye.)

Take care,

Bjorn

hi LukFox

Those clownfish are wild-caught, so I'm not sure how old they are. However, I've had them for about 6 years.

They're spawning, but since adding the anemone (about 5 days ago), she hasn't laid any new eggs. I think she's getting re-oriented, trying to establish a new nest closer to her anemone.

Take care,

Bjorn

hi Ed

Is that you? Before answering your question, promise me you'll wait & stabilize your tank before getting one!

1) I got it at 6th Ave Aquarium in San Francisco
2) When inflated, it's 10"-12" across.
3) It was $49 (but, at this size, they're usually more like $100-$150.

Take care,

Bjorn
