Got new fish

[reefer2b]

I just got back from vacation. Before I left I bough a dozen astrea (sp) snails a half dozen nassarius one sand snail (orange and white shell about 2" long) and doz hermit crabs. More than half the hermits died, possibly because I didn't acclimate them long enough. I still have about 5. All my snails are good though. I wasn't sure about the sand snail but finally saw him yesterday. I'm hoping he'll keep the sand stirred up.
I check the water params and all are at 0. So I went and bought 2 small marron clown fish. My daughter didn't want the same old orange ones we had before so we got maroon. They are doing fine so far. Now if I could just get them to come out to the front of the tank so I could see them.:D

Your new clowns should come out in time. Typical behavior for most new fish.

 

[Smitty]

I agree, give them time, and soon, they'll be all over the tank.

Be prepared Marroons get big and aggressive. Like bite you hard enough to draw blood aggressive! They are a cool addition for sure.

Haha. For some reason I misread this as "Mormons" and did a double take. I thought to myself, "They come to my door, and I turn them away all the time, but they've never gotten made enough at me to draw blood!"

:lol: Funny Biff. I guess in NY they get a little too pissed off when you tell them to go away!

 

[Bifferwine]

Well damn, I'd be pissed too if I had to ride a bicycle from door to door all day long!

Haha mormonism started about 2 hours from where I live. Ill be working there for the next month. Palmyra, New York land of Mormons and mormon protestors.

Especially in this heat. And in a long sleeve shirt. What were they thinking. They should at least get to wear shorts and tee shirts! :lol:

Have you ever heard how Joseph Smith started the LDS religion? WOW!

 

[Ted]

well L. Ron Hubbard started Scientology. He also wrote Battlefield Earth. I think he was just looking for a tax break and some people took him seriously.

 

[Bifferwine]

L. Ron Hubbard once said that the easiest way he ever found to make money was to invent his own religion. That says it all right there.

 

[Ted]

and people still believe in that stuff. Thats what amazes me.

 

[dcantucson]

In time it will probably be regarded just as any other religion. Now that's scary.

 

[Ted]

Ok I guess I am gonna have to make a new reef church we can all pray to brain corals or something. According to darwin we all came from the sea so a coral reef must be the creator right. Now wheres my tax break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Alexander]
