adult captive bred latz

[Ron Popeil]

does anyone have any pictures of their captive bred a. latezonatus as adults?

I'll try to take a few pics either tonight or tomorrow. They're around 12-15 months old.

im interested in getting a pair, but would like to know if they turn out to look like some of the wild caught adults ive seen....

I would also like to see a pair of mature, adult latz. I would like to see their relative size as well.

I received the pair on 9/9/10. They were probably around 3-4 months old at the time. This would make them roughly 15 months old today.

This pic was taken a few months ago:

Nice pair... Want to get a pair one day but afraid of them dying... Do they required cooler water like WC Latz??? Thanks

That's a very good question. I talked to Karen Brittain, the original breeder of the Latz in Hawaii and she said her clowns are in 80-82 degree temps all year round. Mine have been in temps similar to hers and are thriving. Does that mean they will thrive forever? That is a good question, but so far they seem to do well in higher reef temps.
