Luckily everyone appears to be doing okay. The two are still best of friends in war. No chasing, but definitely harassing. I really hate watching them. Unfortunately only one of them ate, but I think that's because they are pre-occupied. Everyone else in the tank is good too. I do have an itch to start adding some coral beyond my scolys. Just not sure what I want to add first

Love the wyoming whites! I just got mine too! Hoping to get another one once my wallet allows me

Mine's already eating and hosted my bta. And it's been since Friday since I got him.
Good luck with them! They're very beautiful

Thanks so much. I love them too. My favorite kind of clowns so far. This is my second (third sort of) pair so I've had wyomings for almost four years now. I'm still a little nervous because they are being a little aggressive towards each other. I know that's typical when establishing dominance, but they are the meanest to each other compared to my others. One is eating, the other hasn't been since their quarrel. Only been three days though so fingers crossed they make up in time for valentines day

Thanks Marvin! I'm feeling better about the chances as they have calmed down about it significantly. Still a little bit sassy, but less biting and the one that wasn't eating is now nibbling at small pieces. The funniest part is they don't chase or leave each other. Side by side most of the time and then will randomly bicker. I think they are going to figure it out soon or at least I hope so. I also hope they both become more aggressive eaters.

Good to hear Chrissie.

A little out of focus, but I love this guys colors. My goal is to have amazing photo skills by the time I get 11 pages down the road

So an update on the Wyomings. I no longer fear murder so that's good. They have definitely calmed down and I see little to no fighting. Excited to see who will be the boss as they are both still similar in size. The one is eating really well while the other is less interested. He's almost got a bit of a pinched belly so I am going to do more frequent feedings. He eats, but just isn't as interested in food. I'm hoping cyclopeeze will do the trick. They didn't want it the other day, but I haven't tried it since they have been eating more frequently. Fingers crossed

Happy to announce that just 40 minutes after the last post I have confirmed that cyclopeeze did the trick. Two fat bellies in the tank. Now they just need to keep that up and get out of the corner they have claimed home.

I wonder why new clowns always seem to stay by the water line when they're new? I'm very happy to hear that they are eating. My ones also takes a bit of time to get used to what I feed. Are your WW from Sea and Reef line? I wonder what they feed them?

Thanks! Me too. Seem to be eating more regularly now. Still not super aggressive, but I think they are still establishing themselves.

No idea why they like the water line. Drives me nuts though

Mine are also from Sea and Reef. I'd guess some sort of pellets, but mine didn't seem overly aggressive towards pellets either. I even have some of the hatchery/breeder food and they didn't go for that. Who knows, I guess as long as they eat within a few days it should be okay.

Just a quick pic I took today of the clowns.

Aquaph8 · Feb 25, 2013

They look awesome, It would be cool if they could get them to have a black stripe.

Thank you very much. One thing I'm really finding interesting is that the one has no orange on either pectoral fin. It'll be interesting to see if any develops or if it'll remain black. I also still love that he has the double cheek bars. I could stare at them all. Just got done with the weekly WC.
