Beeguiles 29 gallon reef

They are? Or you mean they have their attitude problem?

 

[ErinCahir]

No. Clowns are actually damsels.

 

[beeguiles]

Wow I didn't know that. You learn something new everyday I guess. Well hopefully this little strawberry can hold his own. My husband named him mojo. He found a nice little hole that confines him to the inside of a rock. Nobody else can fit in there so I'm hoping the clowns will eventually leave him alone.

Yes clowns are jerks and also are very dumb.

 

[beeguiles]

It's actually kinda funny. The larger black one is of course more aggressive. Well the funny thing is, is the smaller Orange clown, male I'm assuming is the one harassing the pseudo. And the female stands back and watches like the male is in a training fight or something. Any ideas on why they wouldn't be bothered by the hawkfish, but hate the pseudo?

 

[NanoReefer]

maby because its a bright color

 

[little_fish]

More likely, its because they have a similar body shape. Fish tend to attack similar looking fish

 

[beeguiles]

Hmm I didn't think the pseudo looks like a clownfish...the pseudo has a more streamline body but you're prlly right.

 

[Sir Alex]

pseudo

What kind of fish is that?

 

[beeguiles]

A strawberry pseudochromis or can be known as a magenta dottyback.

 

[beeguiles]

Here's a couple shots of my new fishies!

He doesn't have a name yet..

And here is mojo hiding in his rock.

 

[buddy08]

he looks like a sword/dagger.. name him Excalibur

 

[ErinCahir]

I had a longnosed hawk in my first tank... his name was Stephen Hawkins. :D

 

[beeguiles]

Great names guys! I'm prepared for this one. There will be no jumping out this time around.

 

[Jmck]

Gorgeous fish, I thought they weren't reef safe?

 

[little_fish]

Very cute!

 

[beeguiles]

All of what I have read has said reef safe.

 

[BL1]

It's listed as "with caution", LA says this about it in it's description; Although it eats small fish and shrimp, it makes an excellent reef inhabitant under the proper conditions.

 

[beeguiles]

Thanks for clarifing that :) I'm not too worried about it. The smallest fish I have is the strawberry pseudo and I don't think he's gonna let anyone eat him lol and the hawkfish is very docile so far, prlly bc he is getting used to the new home.

Just a little video of mojo from last night.
