Hi,

Give to LFS might as well give to me :-)

James

my suggestions:

1) get an anemone - then again, your maroon may prefer your bubble den your anemone

2) set up another tank and separate the fish from the bubble & mushroom - u wld have best of both worlds in two separate worlds :lol:

3) leave it alone - as long as your maroon is not super aggressive towards your bubbles, i double much harm is done... :P

...what are u missing from your life?... dun wait till your last breathe before telling them that you care

ammonia shoot up? .. Its shouldn't at all what.. ;)

Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

Hmmm...ok... seems like quite a few people are interested in taking my clown (called it Bruce, haha!). Funny thing is he is actually quite pally with my False Percula...sleep together somemore... :lol:

One question, if i give it away, is it advisable to get a True Percula or tomato to replace it? will they be compatible in my tank? Know tat Maroon is the most aggressive and territorial, but wat other clownfish can i keep?

LS:

1X Yellow Tail Damsel

1X Domino Damsel

1X False Percula

1X Bicolour Angel

1X Maroon

All been with me since day 1 and haven lost any yet, except for my Blue Stripe Goby... guess i have been very lucky so far...
