Well I picked up some new additions to the family yesterday. They are babies. Only about 4-5 months old. Both are clownfish. One is a platinum and the other is a grade A picasso. They are still pretty tiny, but though I would give it a try and put them in with my black ocellaris clowns. These two have been living with their siblings in a bare 10 gal tank all their lives so I expected them to be a little slow at exploring their new home. Well I spent a couple hours acclimating them and then floating them in a bag to get them adapted to the tank temp and then let them loose in the tank. To my surprise they BOTH made a B-line for the anemone like it was a long lost friend. The platinum clown just dove right in. Its so small I thought the anemone was going to eat it, but the little guy squirmed in and out of it without any problems. Everything was good for a while, then......my female black ocellaris found them. They were too close to her mate I guess and she chased them off into a corner and wouldn't let them out. SO....as to not cause them any stress, so they dont die....they are now in their own tank on my kitchen counter until they get bigger and able to hold their own. Here is a video of them in the anemone. It was so cute. Its kind of dark cause the lights were out when I released them into the tank.
