bucketep91 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah so my little boy is 2 now and hes mad for "Finding Nemo" so i decided i was gonna get a small aquarium set up and get him some clown fish! So i did and now im hooked! Ive never kept fish and never had any intension or interest in keeping them but they are really really addictive!I've only had them a couple of weeks and ive spent countless hours just gazing at the tank, the anemone is awesome, so colourfull and livley!We are moving house in a couple of months so i cant wait to get my self a proper set up as we just dont have the space right now in our flat.Ive tried to get some pics with my new camera but everytime i take a pic the anemone keeps ducking away back into the live rock and corals loland yeah that red thins a shrimp, god knows why i baught it lol just thought it was pretty cool, theres also a few snails kicking about in there somewhere. Picking up a little blue tang on wednesday to go with the finding nemo thing for my son and that will be it as this tanks isnt very big. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 totally feeling you man, i started with a custom tank for 6 siamese fighters and ammano shrimp a few months back and on firday i inherited mark's small tropical tank, was straight in cleaning it and doing a stock count, then went out and bought some fish for it and am planning on planting it up with LOADS of shrimp!and yeah thats a shrimp man, a Blood Shrimp to be exact i believe, we've a marine tank too with two blood shrimps, unfortunately we found our last clown daed yesterday tho!!!!they are MEGA addictive, marine's are so colourful but can be difficult to keep, think i'll leave it to my dad and i'll stick with tropicals!!!enjoy man!!!Phil.

bucketep91 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 never knew so many people on here kept fish lol, yeah sanchez that little blue 1 is from the film im picking 1 of them up 2morrow.these are quite easy to keep,with the tank being so small so your limited to what you can do with it and it does'nt get really dirty.@ streetracer this little set up has only cost me around 150 quid including the fish and live rock etc, if you want a little set up i could put you on to the guy? as i said they are really easy to keep and the wee man spends ages amazed by them lolim going back up to the guys house next week ill get some pics of his tank, this thing is out of this world it has a proper coral reef right across 1 wall in his living room with alsorts of exotic fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
