yay everyone, I've finally taken the plunge and bought some fish! I actually got two Ocellaris Clwons from Petco here in Long Beach. I stood and watched them for literally 20 minutes, just observing about 5 in a tank. One was obviously the dominant (hopefully female) so I opted to take her. She would dart at the other clowns, but I never once saw her actually strike one. The other I selected is slightly smaller and was exhibiting the "clownfish shake/jiggle" dance every minute or two to the dominant female in the tank. I am hoping this means they will have higher success of pairing up. Does my thinking sound correct on this?
I'm just so excited, my fiancee will be home in about two hours and she'll see the new guys just sittin' in the tank waiting to go in. I figure I"ll give them a couple hours to acclimate to my tank water. I'm using a turkey baster, and filling the bag with one baster amount every 5 minutes or so, and when the bag gets semi-full, I pour half the water out and continue. Sound good here too?
Hooray for new fish!
