My Perc Pair and Anemone

The clowns love their anemone, and it is a blast to watch them show it love from my bed, I am constantly late to things because i wake up and look over and get distracted with my tank.

Sorry for the bad pictures, more soon.

its only loud when the halides are on (during the day).

at night, only the rio 1100 and the baby g skimmer make noise, and i find it to be relaxing :)

new pictures within a couple days...

thanks alot!

yeah i love the coloration on them, i just got to get a better picture. i got them from vets pets. they were really awesome, i bought the percs, then a couple days later they got the anemone in. so they took my clowns back and put them in a small tank with the anemone to help it host faster. talk about awesome customer service.

the nano you sold me, will be turned into a mantis tank soon. ill let you know when that gets up.

That's great.. I went out to Vets Pets a few months ago but didnt see much. Guess it was on a bad day. Did you already pick up a mantis?? Keep us updated with the pics..
