After we moved to a new place the wife wanted a Feng-Shui tank with precisely 6 black & white fish and insisted on black & white "Nemos". The tank should also be rather sparsely decorated.
So I decided to make it a haddoni tank since they were the most readily available.
I found a really large one at AC, a small at CalReef, and 2 slightly larger at Petco.
On clownfish I found a large pair of Darwin ocellaris that could actually be wild or at least very nice tank bred ones and teamed them up with a group of 4 Sea & Reef black & white misbar ocellaris.
The tank is only up a month, so there is still a red slime phase going on.
Also, as I expected, the pair only "adopted" one of the small ones and he helped viciously kicking the other 3 small ones out to hide in the 2 rocks that are in there. I guess I need to replace at least 2 of the small ones with a pair of black & white damsels to put the fear of god into the remaining clowns so that they seek shelter in the anemones. I already got 2 Tuxedo damsels from LA, but they are way too nice to risk them and may also not be mean enough. CalRef has a pair of Dascyllus that might be better suited for the task...
