First acclimation

[thelawnwrangler]

One of my clowns looks a little shocked. Will they hopefully be swimming well in bucket before they go in?

Quarantine, please. Do not put an un-quarantined fish into your cycled tank. Just a plain bucket will do, but they need filtration and careful monitoring of water at proper temperature for at least a 4 week observation.

this is my first marine fish I accept the 2 months fallow tank if they get sick. I will figure out quarantine before I add more, although this might be it.

So how are your clowns doing?

Awesome

would love to see them use more of the tank lol

they seem like they might be swimming a little fast like they are fighting a non-existent current.

I think they are happy


and I agree with QT suggestions. First fish I was willing to risk fallow tank though. Want to get it right build confidence first. Then I will be more comfortable switching the tank to tank.

Thanks for all the advice all

It's really pretty easy. Just have a refractometer (salinity) to be sure, and above all, be REAL sure the fish is under control, and that you have no trip hazards or barriers against a smooth transition: they do fight to get loose.

Good luck with them.

You have an Occelaris and a Percula hybrid. Not sure what the Percula is bred with for it to be missing the last two bands. You can post your pictures in the Clown and Anemone forum, there are several people that are very good in ID'ing

I really like the looks of both fish, very nice and healthy beautiful fish!

Oh and most clowns don't do much they will find something to be their host and that's where they'll stay

Nice looking clowns. Mine decided to take up residence in a back corner. Other than contorting around the tank I see them at feeding time.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays and I need a lid. I got luck and found the vivid ocy in my back sump (aio).

Is the ocy and perc mix a problem? LFS said no and I didn't have time to research. How did you know so fast were you able to count dorsal fin bones?

Tony reading stories told the wife oh good these like a spot right in front of the tank

The difference between the Occelaris and the Percula is also the eyes. The Occelaris eyes are mostly black while the Percula's eyes are mostly orange

No the mix should not be a problem.
