pair of new clowns
Went to the lfs saturday. I got a pair of tomato clowns. They were there for a week. Some guy brought them in and got credit for them. Anyway the female had herself buried in a nem. The male was standing by watching. I brought them home. My qt is at 1.009 salinity. How long should I keep them there. They are doing great. Eating like pigs.

3 weeks is a good benchmark. It sounds like it is going well so far.

Yes so far so good. Im going to put them in my 12g nano at work. I have a gbta there. They will be the only fish. I presently have 2 true percs there but they are coing home to a bigger tank. The female is about 2.5 ins. She needs more room.

I had an 11 year old tomato clown that was almost 5 inches long. They get *big* and *mean*.

I dint know they got that big.....I knew they got mean. But they were already paired and I think it was a good price...39.99 for the pair...And she was wallowing in her nem. I guess I'll just have to get a bigger tank for work later on down the line..I need a bigger desk
