Black and White clown!!!

[kevinb64]

here is my two clowns

the regular orange one finally took to its anemone after about six months.

That regular orange you have there is no Occellaris at all! thats an Onyx true percula.

i have some black clowns. not sure what type they are though. Wild caught in Australian waters. Any suggestions?

I have a pair of black ocellaris tank raised clowns that I bought from liveaquaria.com. I really recommend them. They are great! I just looked over to mine to see the girl chase down the boy and he wiggled haha, here is a pic of mine.

Those are very nice black ocellaris. WC are almost unheard of in the US and go for A LOT!

Thanks dan todd.

I really like them. i've only had them for 2 days, and they are great. THey are getting more adventurous and starting to explore the tanks. they are great to watch.

i agree with dantodd, your pair is as nice as ive seen for black osc. what im starting to notice is alot more irregular/misbars w/ irregular body shapes in the cb osc.

i was never quite sure if it was an onyx. when i bought it it was labeled as a true perc. here is a couple more pics.

 

[dantodd]

The first 3 pics look like Onyx the fourth looks like a B&W ocellaris. Are they all the same fish?

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

it is not an onyx now. but has potential. if its a wc. than most likey it will not dev. further. if captive you have a higher probality.

an onyx should atleast have connecting black btn all white bands.

 

[hayley2684]

do you think that sinc eone of the black ones is already much larger than the other that it would already be the dominant female? i've only had them in the tank for 4 days now. Does it happen that quickly?

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

hayley,
bec of the initial size diff, it will most likey take the role of the female sooner than if not. you should notice some "seizure-like" movements as they dev. there relationship.

 

[kevinb64]

as for my pics the first three are the same fish (true percula) and the last pic is a black ocelaris. they are in the same 75 gallon tank and get along most of the time.

 

[hayley2684]

thanks embryoguy.

i haven't noticed any seizure type movements yet. but thanks for the heads up. i probably would have paniced if they started doing that and i hadn't been warned.

Wow embryoguy.. I just saw those types of movements yesterday.. I though he or she may have been on there way out since my damsels were picking on them lately.

Thanks for the info...
