On Saturday we took a wee trip to Heritage fish shop in Croydon. We wanted to get a Clownfish friend for Comet and needed to get a good match to have the best chance of them getting on.
Comet is a wild caught false percula (ocellaris) clownfish. Luckily the shop had quite a few clowns - some tank bread and some wild. We picked the smallest best looking fish of the lot and have called him Meteor.
He is a good little fish and has settled into the Nano tank well and made friends with the Chromis. He is not a baby clownfish but I think he is still smaller than Comet. I can hardly wait for 6 weeks to pass so we can introduce them to each other.
We also bought some new corals to liven up the tanks: some polyp mushrooms (maybe Ricordea florida) for the Nano and a leather tree style coral (maybe a Cauliflower coral) for the main tank.
They are easy to look after and mainly photosynthesis, but we did buy some coral food as supplement to their diet. I even saw the mushroom coral devour a big flake of fish food and took a photo of it so you can see it folding inwards to eat it.
