Those of you who have been to our house know that the living room is a veritable "sea world". Over the last couple of years, our saltwater fishy family has grown. Until recently, we had a mated pair of Fire Clownfish. The larger (female) of the two was a wild-caught beauty whom we nursed to health after she didn't do so well on her trip from her native waters to the local tropical fish store where Matt once worked. Her original mate was not so fortunate. We got her a new little guy and they had been living happily in their anemone for some time.

A recent accident while doing some tank maintenance resulted in the death of the female. Feeling sad about losing her and about our little male being all alone, we decided to get a replacement, which soon became 3 replacements. Our little clownfish now has a brood of three tiny clowns who are already finding their favorite spot in the anemone even on their first day.
