Amphiprion Sebae and a Green Haddoni

[asudavew]

I've been trying to decide on a pair of clowns for my green haddoni.

And yesterday I finally decided on the Sebaes.

Of course they didn't have any in stock on LA so I signed up to be notified.

Strangely enough I got an in stock notification yesterday and I ordered a pair by phone this morning.

I'll take some pics when they arrive.

I wish you luck. It is very probable that you will receive a pair of dark A. clarkii instead of A. sebae.

Most places are not very good a making accurate ID's on A. sebae.

That will be irritating.

Very nice, take pics when they come in, and hopefully you get the correct species.

One arrived DOA. I'm sad for the fish. Not sure why it died. The temp seemed ok in the box. Heat packs were included.

Pics the live fish.
I'll grab a few more pics in a bit.

Sorry for the loss, im sure they will ship you another. Looks like you got the true sebaes at least.

Yeah. I wonder if they will ship me one we they have them in stock again?

Sorry, to hear about your DOA clown. How is the other one doing? Has it begun to host your green or blue haddoni? The blue one in your avatar looks amazing, and I think the color contrast would look great. I'm actually thinking of adding a pair of sebae to my tank in the hopes that they will be hosted by my blue, which looks like a smaller version of yours.

If its being hosted by your blue, can you post some pics? I would like to see the color contrast.

The 2nd clown fish died during acclimation.
It looked like ammonia poisoning to me.

I'm sorry to hear that. That's a real bummer.

How's the nem doing?

 

[asudavew]

I didnt have much luck with the blue nem. I had it about 4 weeks and then it expired.
I had bought it from DDs and I could never get it to turn around after receiving it.

Oh, wow. Sorry to hear that. It looked amazing.
