i bought myself a new 24 gal nano..... but my new maroon clown is trying to kill the other maroon clown. they were getting along the first 2 weeks now all his fins look like shredded paper and that makes me sad. he only comes out of the rocks at night .

They may be trying to establish dominance. How long was the other clown alone? With the absence of another clown or any female, clowns will turn female. If you bought a new clown that was alone or the largest in a tank it may be a female. Then its going to kill the other. If you add a clown to an existing tank with an established clown buy a small one in a group tank or the smaller of the larger clowns in a group tank. There is a better chance its male or has not sexed yet. A male clown can turn female if there are no other females around. When in a group setting after they mature, 1 clown will establish dominance and become female while a slightly smaller clown will become the male. The rest of the clowns usually will not have a sex. If the female dies the male can turn female and another clown will turn male.
Kind of neat.

That was the Cheap part. Now try filling them with PHOSBAN!!!! Expensive.
Don't overfill them, and make sure they are sitting upright otherwise the phosban will clump badly.
We kept the gifts on the DL this year. World peace, joy, love and whatnot. Blah blah!!!
Happy New YEAR!!

I got two TPP gift cards, as well as a few other things. Difficult to find things I can get there cheaper or the same price as I can get at work with my discount. I'm sure I'll find some way to spend them.

We actually got both clowns at the same time they were together when we got them... the one is about half the size of the large maroon. like i said they seemed not to have any problems .. over the last few days i've been seeing the smaller one more often ... the larger one (the female i wil call her) seems to have calmed down.. they have been hanging out around each other lately with np. im sure glad i target fed him and tried to keep "him" alive. We will see what happens.. i was almost thinking about getting rid of them and getting a valentini puffer but i dont want it to ruin my mushrooms and corals.

If what you bought yourself counts I bought myself about $1,000 worth of stuff for my reef tanks in the last week, lol. I'm broke now. :-(
