Now that the clowns have grown I decided to put them in the acrylic box. No escapes through the holes yet. I don't think there will be any.

I've never heard so much clownfish talk/sounds since putting in juvies in the clear acrylic box. My male makes the clownfish sounds when the female charges at him. It probably helps that they are wild caught too. Haha

I had no idea they made a noise. Can you hear it on video?

Yeah, it's freaky. Not in my video but they make exact same chirping sounds as the clown in the video below. Interestingly enough, I've only heard these sounds with wild caught true perculas. The tank raised Percula and Ocellaris that I've had over the years only exhibited their dominance and submission through body language. Perhaps it has something to do with an unnatural environment lacking a typical social hierarchy in a group of 2-6 clowns like in the wild.

Wow that is really wierd!!!!!
Ive been wondering if my 2 were tank bred or not but they dont make noise and have started doing the submission dance.
How long did it take for your pair to start making noise? Was it only when they had a clutch?

With this particular pair yes, only when they had a clutch. With a pair from before, the male wild Onyx chirped upon initial pairing with a tank raised Picasso clown. The picasso never chirped...or at least not that I ever heard it.

The breeding pair got an anemone today but I am not removing the pot because there's a decent chance the anemone may need to be treated for bacterial infection.

The anemone is now in QT undergoing Cipro treatment. It's been nice to take a break from doing daily water changes for rotifer cultures. However, I'll be doing 100% water changes for the next seven days. The anemone looked deflated under the light but then perked up a little after the light turned off in DT...this is obviously prior to QT
