[Andrew]

could someone tell me what clownfish (typically)is the most docile?
thanks
a.k.

I would say percula clowns, :-D

[MikeP]

Tank raised false perculas or skunk clowns.

Maroons, Tomatoes, Clarkii and Saddlebacks can all be meaner than heck IME.

yea ive had my cinamin (sp) clown for about 5 months now and he'll attack the **** out of my hand when ever clean the prefilter on the rio

I'd go with the false perculas like Techno.

I've got a nice true percula who is peaceful as can be.

True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is the real name IIRC.

I am planning on adding an anemone in the next month, once the slight amonia spike goes down.


Would a bubble tip(bulb tip) be better than a carpet?

Carpet are harder to care for, but clownfish will accept them easier than a BTA so I have heard.

I've got a VHO hood (48 inch) with an actintic and 10k bulb). I also will have a 175 MH once I get my hood suspended from the ceiling.

Ya my percula is the funnys fish to watch and the most friendly, He always try's to get the first of the frozen brine shrimp, I put in the block and he's eating out of my hand, I guess he can't wait but so dose, my foxface, I ordered a carpet anemone from tim on this order he Just did I will post on what happens soon after to see if the carpet and the percula are hosting or not, :-D

Do you thaw your frozen food cube, or do you put it in the tank still frozen?

[matt]

Hey Alien anchovies, maybe your clownfish is trying to tell you something. Get rid of your crappy rio pump! :-D

Half thawed half frozen kinda like a guu block waiting to come apart
