Okay here we go! I got a bunch of new critters today and some neat new stuff for my tanks. I don't have the sump up and going yet but as soon as I do I will upload pictures of it. All of my tanks are doing really good, that lionfish I have been wanting comes in FOR SURE on monday (finally!). Here is some of what I got today:
Here are a few snapshots of my eel tank, Halo is doing awesome =D
I got a really great new powerhead also:
Ocellaris and Tomato Dancing (Crappy picture):
Also got a new fat snail and some branching coral!
I rigged this up to my tank, it's a control valve for my air pump, I have it set REALLY low because I know lots of bubbles make a mess and aren't good for the fish gills, so it lets out about one bubble pr second on here. Adds a nice little effect, without harming my fishies =D It's mounted on with epoxy and some tape to hold til the epoxy dries, then I'll take it off.
I also picked up one of these, it makes acclimating a critter WAY easier because the bag dosen't float about all willy nilly. It holds it in there perfect and hangs on the side of the tank (inside obviously) for when I need it. I can also use it as a fishy prison if any of them decide to act up! (Damsal)
That's about it as far as updates for this week. Next week maybe the sump will be done, I can only hope. I'll update whenever I get more stuffs!

Ah, buddy. Do your research before you buy stuff! Go do a google search about keeping flame scallops. Also you have paired two different species of clowns, and they will more than likely fight till one is dead.

I have had flame scallops in the past, I know they don't normally last long and are hard to keep. I am trying a new brand of phyto I think should be good for him. The two species are okay so far, one is bigger than the other and I know that they will interbreed on occasion. If they start to fight, I'll just move one of them.

Just curious, where did you hear that they breed together? They come from different parts of the ocean in the wild.

Ya, I have never heard of those two species breeding together either. Also there arent any foods on the market that have food particles small enough for your scallop to properly feed. The people who can keep them successful have a well established tank and the tank naturally produces enough food for them. Plus the scallop doesnt look too hot already, the mantel should be a much deeper red color. Losing color is a sign they are starving.

A friend of mine has interbred between species. They get along fine so far, like I said if they fight or something I will just move them, I'm not trying to breed them I just think it would be cool if they did.
Scallops don't live long in even an established aquarium I know, but I figured i'd try again and if it fails miserably then I won't get another one.

Do you know what species he's bred between? Has there been any documentation on it? Any pics of the offspring? And last question promise, were the offspring sterile?
