Well I have some good news and some not so good news.

Good news is doc said that the medication is working and I can keep everything (for right now)

Not so good news is they guy with the tank service said I had to get rid of most of my fish. But that my tank had finished its cycle. I joined a few other sites and they all said I was a mess up so I am getting rid of everything but and getting nemo clowns. I want to get an anemeni for them, he is going to credit me for the fish and give me the nemos for free. And for right now I am getting an artificial anemeni for them to feel a little more comfy.

Do you think I could keep the watcher cober with the nemo's in a 12g tank Also the crabs and snails are ok too?

H2O, I am thrilled with the news your doctor has given you! Please think positive, "easier said then done" I know. But it is possible. Keep your spirits up, it is worth it.
Your little nano is there to help you as well. As silly as that may sound it is my truth. I've had many battles in this life, (including a bout of cancer), but seeing the beauty that surrounds us keeps me going. Depression don't last long when I look at my animals. Their natural beauty is enough to bring a smile to my face.
The crabs and snails are fine, as a matter of fact they are highly recommended. As for the fish, well I'm not so sure that I would tell you that you can keep the ocellaris clown (nemo)& a watchman goby in a 12 gallon tank. When grown the ocellaris will be around 3 1/2", and a watchman goby could also be another 3" giving you a total of 10" worth of fish. The standard is 2 gallons of salt water for every 1" of fish. This if I recall correctly is for the oxygen the fish will need. You have to think of the oxygen available for the animals you are keeping, not just the amount of waste that they will produce. If it were just the waste being the concern, that wouldn't be so bad as that can be combatted by more water changes. But you won't be able to add oxygen. Which brings me back to the amount of fish. I would say you are pushing it with the two ocellaris clowns as it is, I would not add the goby. But that is just my opinion, perhaps someone else can chime in.
My best wishes, and prayers are with you. Happy reefing buddy.

Ok so just the nemo's then.

all fish are out of the tank. waiting on the osimaris clowns now. I want to get an anenene for them the artificial one looks cool but a live one would be better no? I was thinking of the long armed one or the rug one.

BodyofH2O · 10-06-2007, 09:45 PM

What other web sites are out there for information and stores like here? I realize I can now spell anemone too, sorry.

BodyofH2O · 10-06-2007, 09:48 PM

Oh yeah nemos are in the tank now and they have a fake anemone for now, only had to pay 25 dollars each. He took the other fish that I had as credit and did some stuff to my tank changed water and threw in the fake anemone.

Spelld right 3 times now.

BodyofH2O · 10-13-2007, 07:35 PM

well i put a big green one in there 2 days ago an d the clowns loved it but it is turning white and stringy. maybe it's splitting into 2.

BodyofH2O · 10-15-2007, 07:56 AM

Om my god the water is so cloudy!!! do you think the clowns had eggs?

**Deepwater** · 10-15-2007, 08:17 AM

How does the anemone look. do oyu have any power heads it may have got stuck on .

Djay · 10-15-2007, 12:25 PM

good luck with them

BodyofH2O · 10-15-2007, 09:56 PM

They called is something else it wasn't an anemone. But they said it was in the family.

Power? There is power to the tank but not inside the tank. I don't want to fry the nemos!

Reefer4life · 10-15-2007, 10:07 PM

I'm confused! Is it suppose to be a green carpet anemone? Is it an anemone at all? If it is a green carpet anemone, and it turned white & stringy; I hate to be the one to tell you it is in Big Time Trouble.
No, I don't think your clowns laid eggs. What I do think is that your anemone died, and polluted your water. Sorry!
You have service people do you? Call them have them send someone over to check out what happened.

Power Heads does not mean power. Power Heads are pumps people place inside the aquarium to move water around.
