You Dont See This Everyday!
My Yellow,Hippo,and Naso tangs have been schooling all day. I have never seen them do this before.. They have been swimming in unison for about 12 hrs straight.

It's often times the first sign. They are telegraphing that one of them has a plan and a map... Proceed with caution 
Nice pic!

Hmmm... I can never see those imageshack pics when I'm at work. My web filter thinks that site contains "adult content" for some reason. 
Out of curiosity, how long had they been in the tank together before they started schooling? Does it usually take time for schooling fish to start swimming together? (I realize your particular fish do not typically school in the first place) I added 2 new green chromis to the one I already had and while the new ones swim together, the original one doesn't seem to care for them... |

The yellow and hippo have been together for about 3 months, but never paid much attention to eachother.
The Naso went in on Friday.

what kind of clown is that behind the blue hippo? and i dont know if that is the cammera but i like how the blue really stands out in the pic.
The reason why i ask about the clown is because i am looking to get a marroon gold stripe clown. i like their colors. |
