Got Some Fish

It has now been a month since I setup the tank.  It has fully cycled, and water quality is great!  PH 8.2, no Ammonia, Nitrites or Nitrates.  Now for the fun part.

Here is the tank with the rock in place.



I purchased two Percula clownfish.  They are of course named Nemo, and Nemo's dad.  They're more likely to become a mating pair, but for now, it makes my daughter happy.  Strange thing, I purchased some soft corals for them to live in (rather than anenomes which can sting), but they would rather just swim around.

This one is Nemo. He even has a gimpy fin. Notice the hole in the dorsal fin.

Then came a small Blue Hippo Tang, named Dory.  What a peculiar fish. At first she was freaked out and hid in the rocks for days. I thought she was a gonner.  But she now comes out and swims with the two clownfish. Peaceful, except when it is dinner time.  She won't grab the food off the surface, but waits for the clownfish to eat, and then yanks the food out of their mouths. She is feisty!
