A. mccullochi pair

[ralphtran]

Wow! These guys are tough to photograph. I actually took over 500 pictures to get these very few terrible pictures. They're very shy. Anyhow i've had this pair about a year... they're in a 125 gallon tank.

 

[E.intheC]

those are very nice looking clowns!

 

[HOBrien]

Wow very unique and wouldnt mind a pair myself but I am sure they would have a nice price tag.

Wow beautiful, what temperature are you keeping them at i heard that they like cooler waters, would that mean you wouldnt be able to have any corals, just a clownfish only tank for them?

They're being kept at 72F. There are a few corals in the tank, but not many and they seem to be fine. there are two tanks on this system, both 125s, plumbed together. the other tank houses A. latezonatus.

I have to admit, I've usually found mccullochi to be very unattractive fish, but those are the nicest I've seen. That third pic has a skeletor face

 

[Perc25]

Those are certainly not something you see everyday!

 

[Boundless]

How did you obtain these clownfish? I hope to see some progress and good luck.

 

[Romulox234]

Wow 72 degrees not alot will survive that, any ideas on what your gonna do with all that extra space in the tank?

 

[k.tran]

drool...

 

[brich1027]

very nice pair!

 

[jasonrp104]

Have to admit, I've never seen the attraction for them until I saw these. Quite beautiful

Nothing The tank is all theirs. They've got a selection of slates, pots and cones to pick from and 20 bubble tip anemones.

Got a full tank shot?

Corals (generally speaking) do well at cooler temps. It's fish that suffer.

Good luck with them Ralph!

Are you sure on that? If thats the case why do we keep our tanks at 76-80 degrees?

 

[BonsaiNut]

Are you sure on that? If thats the case why do we keep our tanks at 76-80 degrees?

These are semi-tropical fish. They are not found in tropical waters in the wild.

 

[WDLV]

I make no explanation to why others do what they do. I keep my reefs at about 78-82F. I keep my latz at around 75F because they are a sub-tropical species and I quarrantine them at even lower temps.

 

[amore169]

Wow those are very nice, waiting on the DD for them to release the ones they are breeding, but will see how much the price tag will be on them.

 

[vaporize]

are they hosting in anything? Any aggression or spawning behaviours?
