Baby amphiprion perideraion colors

[Flighty]

I thought some of you would enjoy pics of our baby pink skunks. They are showing remarkably good color, especially the ones hosted by xenia. They most interesting thing for me is the fluorescent orange rim on the dorsal and caudal fins. The largest most dominant ones seem to show this the most although they are in a tank with their parents, so I doubt any of them are trying to sex change. It is really hard to catch in photos.

These are good representations of their overall color (if not always in good focus), but they don't quite show the true color of the tails.

Those shots were first thing in the morning. Here is an after breakfast shot of the little piggy.

i heard that the orange/pinkish color around their fins fade away when they mature

Both my male and female of the breeding pair have them, but the male's has always been more pronounced and the female's just a very thin line. Happily, the babies have inherited the male's bright yellow stomach along with the orange tail stripe.
