Well I finally got myself 2 med size cleaner shrimp again, YAY! I Went to The LFS that I havn't been to in a long ass time.. I went to the LFS to get Snails cuz my turbos have gone away since the move, and my margarita's like to chill in my Skimmer and Aquaclear 500. Anyways, I Went on Sunday and they were out of snails, but i saw the Cleaner shrimp Right off I was like OMG OMG I havnt seen any for sale in Phoenix for Months, (Except for scottsdale and they sell there smalls for 25 and med for 35 over priced) So I got the 1st cleaner for 20 bucks NICE! They told me they will get some more on Tuesday im like cool.. Well Tuesday came and they called we got some but they are small.. Im like bummer but after thinking I went over anyways, They had like 5 med and 10 small, so im like YAY! I can finally get my tank back to where it was before the heater wacked out and hit 100. They had some snails in too, Ive already got turbos, Astrea(Sp?), Nassuras(sp?), and Margaritas. We'll I wanted some turbos but they were all out, So I got my self a cpl more Nassuras(sp?) and some Tronchas(sp?) and the 2nd cleaner shrimp. She rang up the shrimp and it came up 17.00 OMG! Thats even better than sunday. So Off I go snails and shrimp in bag head on home to the tank, acculmate the beasts, and as soon as i put the new cleaner in the 3 striped damsile rips off one of his antenea! I was like thats not cool and started yelling at the fish, the hell with trying to get him out i said, and he then proceeded for 2 hours to stalk the new shrimp, he didnt get to pissed off with the 1st one i put in but for some reason this new one really ticked it off. The poor new guy hid in the back corner the whole time, we'll while watching the tank i noticed my two Percula clowns dancing. After a while the bigger one (I assume female, and its belly is getting pretty big too!) started like cleaning a peice of LR, and then the Smaller one (I assume Male)would clean and then dance and rub against the LR, the Female would then dance/rub on the rock and then clean it and the male repete.
they would then swim around the tank a lil.. the male would get away and the female would chase him, and kinda turn sideways dance and the male would then repeat with her. the did this for an hour, I was watching for some kind of Spawning but i didnt see any...

what are they doing?
What is this Dance?
Why where they constantly cleaning the Rock?

Anyways This morning I woke up and checked on the new shirmp. well the 2nd one i put in is now chilling with his new friend the 1st shrimp. They were hangin out next to each other, not giving each other any sh*t, it was great to see that they are hangin out now,
I put some flakes in and they took em. YAY!

My tank is almost complete.
I wanna get a sebae and a pepermint shrimp and then i will be complete!


Pics coming soon, Im still waiting for my roommate to get his Digital cam unpacked!

take care All
