Hey All!
I am very excited to share with you all and take you along this Skunk Clownfish harem journey with me. Let's hop right into it!
The specific clownfish I chose for this harem project is: Amphiprion sandaracinos
Also known as: Orange skunk clownfish
Why did I go with orange skunk clowns?
The orange skunk clowns are a bit different for me in terms of appearance and I love how they look. Also, they seem a bit more docile and friendly towards each other when compared to other clown species.
How did this all start?
Long story short, life plans changed, decided to get a slightly bigger tank, like a "37g frag tank".
Stopped by @PupChow (InappropriateReefer) place to hang out. Next thing you know, we talk about anemones and he gives me his huge bubble tip anemone.
Now I really needed a bigger tank... How big? See below.
May 13th, 2018
-Started shuffling my tanks around to make room for the new tank.
and born... the 60g cube.
Rockscaped, sand, and filled the tank as well. I was on the fast track in getting this tank going.
May 15th, 2018
-Tank was filled. Borrowed cycled bio-media from existing tanks and tossed into sump. Parameters check and ready to go!
May 16th, 2018
-Getting the anemones into the new tank
May 19th, 2018
-Anemones settling in... just waiting for the orange skunk clowns to go through QT at my LFS.
May 23rd, 2018
-I had pre-ordered 10 orange skunk clowns, so two weeks of QT was finally done and picked em up yesterday! Did about a 1/2 hour acclimation process.
and in the tank they go... This was them yesterday evening. Sorry for the blurry picture. This is a screenshot taken from my video I posted on Instagram.
I'll be documenting my journey with this experience, so fingers crossed and wish me luck.
