The New Fish!!!!

Yayyy the new fish have arived!!!!! and as you can see the fish place has sent them very well packaged lol, tho seriously im very happy they take such care that their fish arives well protected. The two fish are called Mandy ( A Green Mandarin Dragonet) and PJ ( A Pyjama Cardinal )



Where are they !!!!!!!





Yayyy found them and starting the aclimatisation so that they get used to the temp of my tank and then I slowly add some tank water over the next hour so that its not such a shock to them












Awwwwww isnt Mandy a stunner !!!!!!! just look at thoes colours.... hopefully once Mandy settles down more I will be able to take better pics












And here is PJ... also a very colourfull fish

update

Well I have a new update. I got a feeding station for the marine tank. Its a piece of plastic sourounded by foam so it floats and its attached to the side of the tank so that when you feed the flack food to the fish it stayes in one place and not float all over and getting sucked up by my filter




This shows the station in use



I also bought a brine shrimp hatching station so that I can grow shrimps to feed both corals and fish. I forgot to take a before pic lol so you have to make do with the pic of it in the tank



I also have a small vid of me giveing my anenome its first feeding and if you look closely you can see that it starts to react to the shrimp before it even touches the anenome, almost as if it could see it lol

Anemone

Ok time for anouther update and as I had a new coral delivered I thought this was the perfect time. I decided to get a green Anemone. Im also waiting for a brine shrimp hatcher to be delivered so I can get fresh food for both corals and fish..

This is the Anemone on a small peice of live rock



This is the Anemone in the tank after its been aclimatised to the temp and water conditions, its just starting to open up



And here it is fully opened up



I thought I would post a update on Nemo and Ellen, as you can see they are growing great and very lively



Lol this is one of the hermit crabs that decided to try and climb up the side of the tank, the little bugger only made it half way up before falling down and makeing his way over to the rocks
