Dukes 50 Gallon Clownfish Kingdom

[Duke]

I guess the title is pretty self explanatory  , it needs alot of finishing up, i still have to get the lighting figured out, black the back out and tidy up the room the tank is located in, but im impatient so heres a few photos so far. over 50 clowns as of now, but as people pick some up i should end up with 25-30 to keep for now.


Day 1

Day 2

Pretty shy fish still, i had to feed them for the photos

ya it doesnt look like it does it? Theres closer to 65 if i was counting correctly, they arent the easiest to count tho..

 

[parksy]

Freaking cool man.  :drool:

Will you be able to keep 20-30 in that tank long term?

we've instated a strict no violence household, any bullies are outta there.


No, but to be honest, i have no idea how long its going to last, time will tell.. if i cant get a bunch to get along long term then i was thinking about going the other direction and just get one really nice big pair of designers and let them have the whole tank.

Love the concept man.

There was a guy a few years back that had minimalist nem tank but way fewer clowns.

It'll.be sweet if they all get along!

 

[Poseidon]

That's an awesome idea!  I was thinking of setting a separate tank up for my clowns n their bubble coral, as there just too aggressive.

You've inspired me to look into it more

Not sure Dave, water quality is obviously going to be an issue.. if you could tie it into your main tank.. i think the fish and the anemone can handle that sized tank imo.

Duke in 30 years.....

i'd wear that shirt now without question. am i weird?

 

[Victoss]

I'm sure as they host different anemones and find their own space you'll be fine keeping a few pairs in there but not sure about 30 . Either way very cool 8)

 

[Duke]

A few lights out photos.. Seems they really like this green one thats been walking around all day.

 

[BIGSHOW]

Awesome...this tank is so cool.

I hope it works out with all the clowns...the green anemone has no idea what is going on....seems like a clownfish whore.

 

[teebone110]

They way I see it, the more the merrier!

You can probably still jam another 40-50 in there
