markoshark Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 From what i've seen in shops, quite a few Emperors come in, but very few seem to live to be that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thats sad that it died. It looked like a nice fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifty Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 They are cool fish, I had one for 3 years and watched it change from juvi colous to adult, I sold it as it outgrew my tank plus ate all my softies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally J Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 pitty about my angel, he's still in the fridge...having funeral toda!!!y I had two clowns in my fish only tank but one jumped out and dried on the lid. Not sire whether I should put the remaining clown in with my other two in the other tank. 3 might be a crowd? My "lawn mower blennie" ?? is my favorite, he eats from my hand and likes a tickle under the chin. I am overseas for 3 weeks and have a house sitter...hope they all survive...almost don't want to go away I have painted the back glass black....it looks super cool now!!!Think I got the fire clowns mixed up with my nemo's, not that good at the names of the fish...they all have human names :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 looking good, my lawnmower blenny is my fav fish too . BTW what sort of lighting are you using, tank looks bright but i see you've got a glass lid how is the temp of the tank with the glass lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally J Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 lighting is arcadia 3 series...10000 k but one side doesn't work...got to get my husband to fix it... ....the temp goes up in the summer, never thought of removing the glass, I put the AC on in the house to cool the tank :lol: thought of getting a chiller but I will just remove the lid. Going to check out the prices of things in South Africa, maybe bring some things back :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: There isn't too much agro in the tank as long as they all stay in their own spots, the maroon clown is the boss.

Emperor Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nice tank. Sorry to hear about the emperor, how long you had the emperor? I've got one, and it is usually recommended to buy them juveniles (imported juvenile), otherwise chances they may not make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally J Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I bought the Emperor with the whole tank about 2 years ago, and I think the guy that had him said he was about 4 then. He was a awesome fish, I buried him by the gold fish pond I have still got the nigger trigger, he is really big too, and gets so excited when he sees me in the room.

Caryl Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Good to see you made it home safely Sally.

Good to hear the fish survived as well 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
