My New Phantom & Snowflake Clownfish

Ms. Mermaid · Apr 22, 2013

Well over the weekend I could not resist so I picked up a Phantom & a Snowflake. They are still babies so it will be a long time before they start to breed but that is ok with me...
When I first put them into the QT they were bickering but now I think they are behaving...
I think they are about 1inch.... So I am thinking they might be about 6 months old.
They will be staying in the QT for 3 to 4 wks... Do i need to add anything more in there with them?? I saw a small cool looking BTA that I would like to put in there with them. The guy at the LFS said it was GBTA but it looked much different than a normal GBTA color wise. I wish I would have taken a picture of it.. Kind of like a very light neon green color.
Should I put in there one of those clay pots or a small PVC for them to sleep in at night time? I found them both in the corner this morning huddled together instead of the PVC but that thing is really large maybe to big for them.. But they did go in there right before I had turned out the lights last night.

Okay something wrong with my copy and paste... Will try to get the other pictures to post here in a minute.

Hello!

Beautiful clowns!

I would not add an anemone as it might not do well and also if you have to treat the clowns in QT you would have to remove the anemone. Huddled in the corner is very common and makes them feel safe. I would probably add a smaller PVC but really that's only for them to hide. I wonder how a fake piece of coral or a fake anemone would make them feel? You know the soft jelly looking ones.

I know those fake ones I might give it a try... and maybe a smaller PVC.

I'd place a fake one in the tank, that way when you move them into your main tank they feel comfortable and safe around the anenome and may host quicker

The fake ones that I have been finding are not very soft is yours like that too?

Well I think I know which one will be the female. "The Snowflake" she eats like a little pig.....

Are you asking if the fake is soft or real? If real they are mostly water so they're extremely soft, for fake I've seen soft silicon ones
