B&W Ocellaris clowns

[v8maro]

Where can I buy 2 black & white Ocellaris clowns(online?)? Preferbly small & tank raised so I can raise them my self.

Also, they start out as orange & b&w when juvi's then turn pure black & white correct?

Those look like they keep the orange mouth, I'd like to get completely black ones, know where I can get those?

 

[kimsie]

No - the Austraila ones (the ones on sale) are the ones that turn all black... Read the note :

Please note: The tank bred clowns from England are younger in age, and will be a deep orange/brown in appearance. After a short period of time as the fish matures, they will darken with age to jet black coloration with an orange mouth. The tank bred clowns from Australia are more mature, and will ship in their jet black adult coloration. The misbarred clowns from England have incomplete white stripes.

Approximate Purchase Size: 3/4" to 1-1/2"

bah, i'm a moron! thanks!

Just ordered two of them. Setting up the QT tank tonight. What should I feed these guys to begin with?

 

[GSMguy]

Rods food

 

[kimsie]

Mine love rods food too - enjoy them and post pics when they get here!

 

[wegotcrabs]

where do you buy rods food?

 

[kimsie]

You have to buy it from an LFS I believe.

 

[v8maro]

These guys should be happy in my RBTA

I'll check and see if the LFS has Rods Food, if they don't, where do I go from there?

Also, how long should I hold them in QT?

You can get rods and black ocellaris clowns from premium aquatics, one of the sponsors here.

FYI Rod's food is frozen so you will be paying for extra shipping on that.

salt water fish dot com also has b&w occellaris. I believe they are still on sale. But it appears you already ordered them so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

For a dry food you can also try ORAglo or Ocean Nutrition formula 1, also available in frozen form. As I understand it Formula 1 was created with clownfish in mind from the formula that ORA used to raise their clownfish.
