Lmao i did already.. U know it feels like when u about to get vaccinated u know it wont hurt but ur terrified hahahah
I have an aggressive picasso clown but not towards me... and only one other fish and that's my regular OCC clown. My picasso gets super excited like it wants to play when I go near the tank but I feel bad for my other clown. The Picasso makes him stay in one corner of the tank. But it's fine with my other fish and me!

welcome to the world of clown fish, it doesn't get any better.. the blood will come soon enough..they are mean little pricks..
I know what your saying, you know its coming but we still jump..I have to totally clean all of the glass afterwards...
I don't see my female when she has eggs, she stays pretty close to them..

Well a clown is a hell of a lot better then a snowflake eel lol. If you read about clowns once they get big they are super aggressive. I guess when you live in a deadly nem you get some attitude as well.

You should feel it when they get big, old and cranky. My female tomato is over 20 years and she is mean and will defend her eggs at all costs. I had to remove the frog spawn near her nest as she would take bites out of it and spit the pieces of tissue at you. Then come in for a barrage of chomps on whatever is closest. lol

Wow your Tomato clown is over 20 years old. That's great!!


Keep that in mind when you choose fish...or hear people that are giving advice that haven't kept any one thing alive for more than a year or so and think they know what they're doing. I have an Occelaris that I have had for 26+ years through all my learning and crashes and moving and experimenting...I personally consider around 10 years the success/failure line. And yes I still lose fish especially in that first few weeks/month of acclimation its part of the game...

I agree, most people choose their fish based on today, not a lot of thought is given for long term...

congratulations on keep them that long...:)
