    I just got my order in earlier this morning from Liveaquaria! Everybody is in their respective tanks and seem happy so far, although some are hiding more than others. For my main DT I got a midas blenny, the guy I've been waiting for LA to get in stock, a firefish (hoping to pair it with my other one, but I have a backup tank if need be), and an anemone shrimp who I think has babies, not sure though. Then for my BC29 I got a pair of tomato clowns. The cool thing is one of the tomato clowns looks just like it should but the other one actually has about 2 and a half strips. If I had to guess, it almost looks like the cross between a tomato and a clarki. When they were floating, in separate bags, they apparently knew they were going to be a pair because they got as close to each other as they possibly could while being in separate bags, kind of funny to watch. I only had one issue with the order and that was the Fedex delivery time. I paid the extra for the Priority Overnight and they didn't get it here before their guaranteed time so LA has already credited me the extra that I paid for the upgraded shipping.

    Yes they do. It reminds me of Leopards, nice tomato clownfish they can be a PITA because they're so aggressive!

    If all goes well they will be the only fish in the tank do hopefully that won't be a problem.

    Here are some updated shots of the fish. The firefish had a bit of a disagreement with my current one but things have calmed down a bit for now. I love the midas blenny, he reminds me of a little eel. Pokes his head out of the rocks and then darts out and has the swimming motion similar to an eel. Oh, and I found out that the tomato with the three stripes is actually just a juvenille and the strips will fade with time.
