i recently moved and had a little mishap experiment happen during my sleep one night.
all my fish have very...odd..personalitys.
anyways, during my move, i had to move 1 fishtank at a time (i have 2)
and during this process, my seahorses which were in a seahorse only tank,
had to share a tank with a panther grouper, yellow tang, aust sailfin tang, lionfhish,
chocolate starfish, and heaps of coral, seperated by a glass divider.
well, when i put the divider in, i checked (or so i thought) that it was sealing
the 2 sides of the tank off very well because i didnt want my ponies over
with the other fish...especially the lionfish.
when i awoke the next morning my lil cuties had managed to bypass the
divider and all 4 were on the other side of the tank, hitched to a
green goniopora, and guarded by the lionfish.
it turned out to be a very neat watch. i had a net ready to catch any
fish that came too close to the ponies, but the end result was the
horses playing happily in the coral and the lionfish making sure no other
fish came close to them. (none of the actually tried other than to take a
look at their new mates)
even when one of the horses would swim off from the coral to check out
the rest of it, the lionfish would swim beside or in front of the horse as
kind of a body guard. it was amazing!
yet, they ended up seperated again, but my green goniopora now has a home
in my seahorse only tank
