 |  First Fish in Tank
I just put my first (clown) in my RedSea Max. I put him in about an hour and a half ago and he is just hanging out in the corner and not really going anywhere. He has not really explored the tank at all. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance, you guys are great!

sounds normal to me. give him a few days, and he should be fine. clownfish can take alittle bit to get their full personallity, and if urs is really small all he has known is to be surrounded by his little clown buddies. keep us updated....pic...pics...lol _________ 15 Gallon Nano, Current USA 80 watt PC Light, Pengiun HOB Refug, Pair of clowns one ocellaris and one purcula!

Hope I posted the picture right. Now that the lights are off he is a little more adventurous, silly clown.   | |

Congrats on first fish.
Looks kind of lonely in there...
But that is fine. You want to go very very slowly when adding fish to a Nano.
Looking good.

you should have added the clowns together, it's possible that they will fight. _________ Kimmy | |
