Fish Carnival

I have finally managed to get my 24 gallon nano set up how i want it. I have a few corals. But the fish i have are the spotlight. i have a true perc. clown who is a lil chubby. He eats out of my hand, and when i clean my tank he bites me. I also have a pair of yellow seahorses. They are the craziest fish i have ever had. the curl up on my finger and wait to be fed. The eat better than many of my other fish. when i walk into the room they greet me. When i put y hand in the tank the seahorses wrap around either my hand or my wrisy and the clown uses my fingers like an anemone. I was just wonderig if anyone else has any fish who are as friendly.

Hello Michael... Welcome to Rs.. All my fish greet me. It is great... I want some seahorse....

You should try them they are great. Just stay with the CAPTIVE BRED ones. Ocean Rider is great.

All my seahorses greet me morning and night.

In my reef tank, my henni and clowns come to the glass everytime I get near the tank. The henni will actually nip at the glass to get my attention.

A word of caution with the clown and seahorses. Clowns can become aggressive/territorial as they grow so just keep an eye on it with the horses. Remember, clowns are just damsels in fancy pajamas.

Your fish sound so sweet! I would definitely keep an eye on the clown with the ponies. Pics would be good...'cause we love pics!

Welcome to RS! Yes please post some pics. We love pics. There are a lot of pony lovers here as well. What kind of ponies to you have? I just re-started my pony tank with 2 baby girl redi. I've only had them 3 days and already they greet me when I walk to their tank. They know I am the food source. I used to have kudas who would wrap themselves around my finger every time my hand was in the tank as well.
I know it is fun, but you really should try to keep your hands out of the tank whenever possible for your health as well as that of your fish.
