My pair tries to host my hellfire torch sometimes and I have to shoo them away so they won’t kill the torch!!! “Here for the Krakkk!!!!”

[@tylerhuxford3440]

Not the Torch!!!😅 Shoo them with a stick brother! You are entered sir!

I’ve had a pair for 5 months now and I’m wondering how they will take adding to their home.?They mainly stay to one side of the 36 gallon bow front. Also, I have the regular top and light which I don’t run at all. Now that I want to add coral and other fish what too should I do? I don’t have to top off much with this too which I love.

[@dorothyharrison2765]

Which part of the tank do they swim in? Is it mostly the bottom or all over? Thanks, and loved your video.

[@tylerhuxford3440]

They’ll swim where ever they decide is the best territory for them. Once they pair to an anemone or a coral, it doesn’t matter where it’s located, they’ll set up shop there. Power heads are often common places where clownfish like to claim, so be careful about that 😬

I guess youtube figured out im planning to get clownfish next

[@tylerhuxford3440]

Hahaha! Boom, well now you’re ready 💪

[@TheOldskool12]

Can they be in the dark? With no light 💡

[@tylerhuxford3440]

They can! Any fish can live without light, but they’ll be happier with a light.

[@user-fm4vj4ok1i]

Clownfish are ungrateful! You’ll feed them and they’ll instantly turn and try to eat your hand! But I like mine…lol

I'm a newbie, can i go with normal tap water?

[@tylerhuxford3440]

Welcome to the hobby! ☺️ But Nooooo! Don’t do it!!! 😅🤣🤣 seriously don’t do it 😬

@@tylerhuxford3440 thanks for the help man! But how can I make a salt water to a aquarium? I have a 5 gallon aquarium here. Sorry buddy, Im just a newbie haha

[@tylerhuxford3440]

@@nateman_ Of course! So to make your salt water, you're going to need to mix fresh RODI water (reverse osmosis deionized water)with a salt mix. Lot's of great Salt mixes on BRS. There are also many local fish stores that sell pre-mixed salt water depending on where you're located. Do you have anyone near you who can be your salt water hobby mentor?

[@nateman_]

@@tylerhuxford3440 actually non, I'm just doing some research for now. I also saw some videos out here where they are using purified water and marine salt. And they are just using hydrometer to determine wether the mixture is good and balanced. Btw, thanks for your help man. Lastly sir, can I ask how many watts of oxygen pump and water filter I should buy for my 5 gallon aquarium?

[@tylerhuxford3440]

@@nateman_ does the 5 gallon already come with a pump? I’ve never looked for an adhoc pump for a tank that small unfortunately 😬 I just use the one my 3 gallon tank came with. Also! If you’re starting the hobby, just a heads up, the smaller tanks are very very difficult to maintain. I’d recommend you start with something bigger. The bigger tanks are easier to keep stable parameters in and clean water. Just a tip ☺️
