Here
are three pictures of my pair of captive bred Amphiprion percula clown
fish. I purchased the pair as juveniles. The female has matured quickly and is
about double the size of the male. She routinely reminds the male who is boss,
although lately they've been getting along much better. I suspect they're
becoming sexually mature. I have not observed any spawning behavior though.
The pair spend most of their time in the
Xenia elongata colony. It's very amusing to see them dive into the Xenia
tentacles. The female also frequents the Colt coral which is above the Xenia
colony. Neither coral seems to mind the presents of the clowns. The remain open
in spite of the the fish's constant thrashing.
Here is a blurry pic of my Indonesian 4-Line wrasse, Pseudocheilinus
tetrataenia. This is the best shot I could get of this very active fish. She
spends most of her time searching the reef for critters to eat. This is my
favorite fish. This species is very reef friendly. They are also very
entertaining and can become a real "pet".
This yellow tail damsel was given to me by brother. He had to dismantle his tank
because he did not have enough time to care for it. I had to promise that I
would not take this fish back to the LFS. This was his first fish that survived
the cycle. I was afraid that he would damage my Xenia since damsels are known to
pick at this corals polyps. He has not shown any interest in the Xenia.
Here is my royal dottyback, Pseudochromis paccagnellae. When I got
this fish, about 2 months ago, it's color was very faded. I wasn't sure if she
would make it; she really took a beating from my wrasse for the first week. As
you can see, she has regained most of her color and has made peace with the
wrasse. She feeds on almost anything. She has turned out to be a good addition
to the tank.
