the hawks have calmed down but are still having a few fits, could be becasue they are getting along or they are just tired. i will keep a close eye on them. at this point they are just waving their tails in eachothers faces and have stopped nipping
as for the damsel he's fine, not bugging any one, if anything he's being bugged, my lonely little blue chromis is following him every where! and the chromis is doing this odd thing where it hides in the large kenya tree i have and wiggles around then when it sees the other damsel it darts after it like a love-sick puppy.
and i new thing has popped up. i added a powerhead yesterday w/a shiny foil sticker and my clownfish keeps hanging out near it...he is looking at his reflection in the sticker!!!
at this point i cannot tell if he is flirting or threatening the "other" clown he sees, but its funny to watch.
and hey, i tried looking up online to see if what the chick at the petstore said was true, i could find NOTHING. i found that they could not be kept w/smaller fish, snails, crabs, shrimp, or small lobsters and may nip at stars but i could not find anything about being kept w/other hawks of the same kind or of a different kind.
yeah, i'm stubborn, i want to try and keep both of them, the only way to do so is to put them together as i have small shrimps in my other tanks now. so i will see if it works out, if not i have a big bin and buckets (and GLOVES now) on hand to take out the rocks and catch the fish.
but hey, when i was little i really was a Darla...
man what horrible things i unknowingly did to fish
ever tried keeping a wild (caught it in a drying up pond) baby salmon w/neon tetras?
lets just say i came in to find myself short 6 neons and a bright red tail hanging outta the salmons mouth!!!!
not to mention my first tank was 10 gallons w/undergravel filtration and no heater and was stocked with: a koi angel, 2 tiger barbs, 2 tbone tetras, 6 neon tetras, a african frog, a skirt tetra and a pleco algae fish, 2 glowlight tetras, 3 apple snails and a painted glass fish....that and my idea of clean the tank was take out the fish and hose out the tank once a week......everything was dead within a month!!!
at least i am not that bad anymore
(looks back and forth suspciously....man....my new nicknames gonna be darla is'nt it.....looks around, slinks under the desk and hides....at least i have glasses instead of the major brace face)
