It was very exciting transferring Boomerang, Comet and Darty into the main tank. Not surprisingly I caught Boomerang first. She is definitly the tamest fish at the moment and will happily come up and nibble your fingers at feeding time. Comet was a bit more troublesome to catch as he is so quick. He was like that when we got him in the fish shop too! I left Darty for Stu to catch. We couldn't even find him at first, so removed all the rocks after realising he was wedged into a cave in the rock! He lived up to his name and darted about like mad before Stu finally caught him!
They have now settled nicely into the main tank and seem to be loving it. Interestingly Comet has always has one white spot on the tip of his dorsal fin and since moving him it has cleared up. I was going by the theory that white spot/ ick is ok as long as the fish is behaving normally and eating well. Comet's white spot never bothered him but I am pleased that it seems to have gone.
The clowns have made friends with Eddie (who seems to think he is a clownfish!). He always comes up to the corner with the clowns at 6pm for tea. Poor Freddie is getting bullied by Eddie tea time and always gets chased away. He looks good, a bit more see-through that Eddie, and seems to get plenty to eat by hanging out at the far end of the tank with Darty. Interestingly Eddie and Freddie sleep almost next to each other, so they do love each other really!
This photo is from tea time yesterday, just before I fed them!
