Make sure you have a cover the Jawfish are notorius jumpers, All the others look great! Good luck with the J.F.

don't have cover but did notice when i introduced it to the tank after acclimation it tried to jump out but it is about 1 1/2 inches to get over the top of my tank just the way the water levels turn out with the overflow, i have had some problems last weekend i bought some golden clowns and a larger clownfish has been chasing it up and into my overflow and i finally after 4 times of taking it out a moved the pair to the sump to try to get some more size on them before i move them back to the DT, is tha tnormal for larger fish to chase smaller ones like that?

It is normal especially you already have a established pair within!!!! They will not tolerate another pair! If you get small ones, it can be done, but it is still dangerous for you to lose the small clowns. You should really do some research before you make anymore purchases!!! Those are nice looking fish by the way, did you buy that metallic foxface from critters???? That was the only one they had. I've been thinking about getting rid of my existing foxface and switch it with a metallic as well when I do the upgrade. They're beautiful!!!
 
yes it was the metallic from ac and i am hosting a regular foxfaxe and a metallic and so far so good they said the would work together and i try to do my research before i buy but everyone i have talked to says that if it is not the same color most of the time it's not a problem but the other pair has been together for several years before now i aquired when i bought a established 55 off of someone getting out.

It really varies from fish to fish. Same with Foxface. But yours gets along so that's a good thing. I know my clowns, if they really don't like a certain fish, they would attack constantly on a daily basis.
 
Get a cover on that tank. 1-1/2 is nothing for that Jawfish to clear...trust me, he will dive right out your tank. You must cover it.I evne ahd one jumpo and make it through eggcrate over the top.
 
Bill, Do you still have the contact info for the company that you got the netting form. I am guessing there are several people that could use some. You probably will want to get some for your new tank. I need to re-do mine. Sounds like kw0829 needs some. :)

Might be worth giving them a call and seeing if we can buy some more. Doubt we can get the deal you got last time ;) but maybe it will be worth it if more people are interested.
 
Nice. I love the foxfaces. I am going with the fiji bicolor foxface in my tank. I wish I could have one of each variety.
 
For netting I just bought some nylon screen at Lowes. cut it to shape and it worked Excellent for the back of my hood.
 
What size is it spaced at? The netting Bill got last time is about as perfect as you would want. The stuff available locally is bigger or smaller than desired.
