ocellaris or clarkii?

[trio91]

2 clarkii's....I think the small one is a saddle back

I'm just hoping he doesn't eat cucumber. My kids love that silly thing. I can trade the mandarin and the royal gramma in at lfs if need be.

 

[big deddy]

Here's a better one

Do you regret getting that guy?

 

[trio91]

Not really....the only thing is now aside from a tang, I do not feel 100℅ comfortable putting anything else in this tank

 

[big deddy]

So you think the tangs will stay away from it? This guy is about 10 or 11 inches when fully opened. He is definitely big enough to eat any fish I have

 

[jetmaker]

I just think it may be hard for me to get rid of this guy.

Flush it

 

[trio91]

Not sure.....I would say to do it at your own risk

For me, I am looking to get a kole tang for my tank......so hopefully he'll stay out of the nems way

 

[jetmaker]

How long have you all been doing this

 

[trio91]

If u want to get rid of em...see if your fish store will take em for free

 

[trio91]

How long have you all been doing this

Doing what? Reef keeping? A few years now

Me 30+ I'm just saying if it were big enough it would try to eat you lol

 

[trio91]

I'm sure it would, and I'm not saying that owning one doesn't come with its own risks.....this guy ate my tomato clown, 3 chromis, and a star fish (and probably ate/stung so many other things that I don't know about

I mean I like em, my clowns like em and I don't mind caring for him....so for now imma keep em until he gets to that point where he's gotta go back into the ocean cuz he's out grown the tank

How long have you kept one (in the past) jet? And what happened? Seems like u hate these guys

 

[mcarroll]

One more vote to get rid of him here. They get huge, even compared to bubble tips, which can also get pretty dang good sized. I've seen a rose bubble tip take up half of a 75 gallon. [emoji106][emoji41]

 

[jetmaker]

I've just been noting they eat a lot of fish and I did have one yrs ago and they are probably the most aggressive animal in the ocean I can't believe they still sell them. If you like nems you need to look at the rock flower pots awesome in my opinion.

 

[big deddy]

I hate to flush it.

 

[jetmaker]

I'm just saying why have a 30 dollar nem eat 250$ worth of fish.

 

[trio91]

Fair enough.....and your absolutely right on that...I was very PO'd when things started to go "missing" in the tank

But big e, again try to give him away to an lfs if you r unsure about keeping him

 

[jetmaker]

I don't believe they still capture and sell them.

 

[jetmaker]

I don't believe they still capture and sell them.

I mean I don't know why.

 

[big deddy]

I don't think it is doing very good anyway. It might not make it. Really don't know if this looks as bad as I think it does.
