    new clown fish added

    so i went out last night and got 2 clowns they are alil bigger than they looked at the store but one is def smaller than the other. the bigger one is alot brighter. I think the big one was the dominant fish in the lfs tank. the big one started to nip the other as soon as they went in. they have stayed together the whole time thou. first 24 hrs they seem healthy, but they are scared to go in the back were the LR is stacked, i dont think they realize the only other inhabitant is a dragonette and 3 hermits. the dragonette is funny he tries so despertly to swim with the clowns but he just cant. he was the only fish for the last 2 months. now hes got these crazy kids to play with.
    it was like putting 2 drunk teens in a retirement home. ha

    My clownfish for the first couple of days hid. But about 4 days later they ventured out a little. And it took about 2 weeks for them to start going around the tank alot.
