2014 Prediction - I'll have a CB pair of baby Clarions in my tank

[WayneL333]

Amazing things are happening in our hobby. 5 years ago if I said there's the possibility of owning CB Peppermint angelfish, you would of thought I was on crack. But I definitely can see it in the not too distant future.

Wow
Captive breed clarion will soon be readily available
I did not know the peppermint will be one of them too

You have open your house for a day and charge admission for that

I heard the price TMC are asking for 1 it is double the price of a wiled collected clarion

Why would you want two large aggressive holacanthus angels in your tank, regardless of their rarity or uniqueness? I'm just going on record....

 

[WayneL333]

Well, I take it part of it back. You're right about the size. I think two of them will take too much space in my DT when they grown into adulthood.

There's a lfs up here that has an WC adult female their sps DT and its a model citizen. He's got about 3 or 4 other angels in there too and they all get along. I'm hoping a cb will be even tamer. I'm willing to at least try.

Clarions are one of the smallest large angels. Thy only grow to 20cm

20 cm? I dunno... I remember seeing adults at the Monterey Bay aquarium many years ago and they looked bigger than that...

The biggest I heard of was in Michael W Scott's book angelfishes and butterflyfishes the reef fishes series
It was 23cm if I remember correct

How about a wild caught juvenile ?

lol...no more 1.5" inchers...too stressful for me. I prefer well started ones now. But maybe 2.5" though

Congratulations Wayne !!!

Another beauty! I hope the captive bred are friendlier than the wild ones. I've kept them before and if you thought the Gem and Interruptus were meanies you ain't seen nothing yet

I know you are busy with fish this week, but I came across an interesting coral you might like. Shoot me a PM if interested.
