Clowns are 9 years old

They had a birthday last month:hb2::celeb3:


Here is a video of the youngsters fighting for food:<iframe width="1280" height="720" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/w0v4-X5-AqI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is the feeding station on the right where the food drops in a cage which the bigger fish can't get in.

More pictures/videos to come. (New iPhone=new uploads!!)

btw, I appreciate the kind words and the interest. sorry that I don't always answer questions.

I want to see this tank in person! Can't believe it took me this long to find this thread.

Ironically enough if you are in California and in Monterey check out the aquarium. They actually have a display with a rather large RBTA with a metric ton of clowns of all sizes and ages.

Your tank reminds me of that display.

Look what I caught in the tank:

Does anyone think this critter is responsible for my anemone losses? It's one of those critters that just appeared in the tank.

Here is another shot:

Take it out and cook it

[mobert]

Take it out and cook it

HAHA!! It was shockingly big for never ever having seen it before!

Wow! That could be responsible for losses of small cats and dogs never mind anemone losses! Hope you snuck up on it and removed it.

haha! Yes, I caught it right as you see it in the picture. I was going to keep it as a pet in another tank, but it was already dead or died of shock when I grabbed it.
