Basenji's 3x2 Project - new pics 6/4/20

[Basenji]

Finally got around to taking those pictures you were asking for.
Tank still tracking well. Anemones have moved again since the MASS meeting, but have settled into good spots for around the last 3 weeks now.

I still haven't moved the ephippium clowns down from the shed. Have been toying with adding a few schooling fish (Talbots damsels or Barrier Reef Chromis or ... something?) to give a bit more colour and movement, and hopefully coax the shy oblique-lined dottyback out of the rocks a little more frequently. I'm open to suggestions.

The clowns will be the last to go in.

On with the pics:

Great shots, that dottyback is amazing.

Well done Colin to even get a photo of him! Mine darts out grabs some food and gone again in seconds! They sure are a beautiful colour fish. Gayleen likes your centre piece nem, is it a magnifica?

The one in the middle is a crispa.

Tank sure is looking good colin, I'm still thinking on what other fish would do well with the clowns.

Hi Joe. He seems to be getting a bit braver as time goes on. But I have to admit there was food involved in getting him out for that shot. And I had to be quick!

The Crispa came as a hand-me-down from Chris Neill, like most of my recent acquisitions it would seem

Hi Colin,
Nice to meet you today, weekly cleaning process didn't make good viewing of my tank.
just look at your journal and Will keep an eye on this one for sure well done!

[Basenji]

Was good to meet you as well Richard. Thanks for the latest addition to the BTA collection.
Don't undersell your own tank mate. If that is what it looks like on a cleaning day then I can't wait to see it on a good day.

On 12/10/13 I finally added the pair of fire clowns (Amphiprion ephippium.
I've had them in my old 2 foot tank since around 2007, and they've spent the last 12 months in the ghetto tank in my shed.
You could almost see the excitement on their faces as they drifted down in the tank after I added them and settled straight into the Crispa and Red BTA.
There were a few fireworks with the purple tang for a few days, with a few torn fins on both sides, but things have settled down nicely.
