Beautiful! You can't beat a good onyx!
Love em
Me too. I've never tried to raise fry or anything but every tank has a pair of OC or Percs in it. I just couldn't pass these guys up. The pic was taken while they are in the sellers QT. They can't ship until next Monday due to my schedule. I'm like a kid waiting for the last few days before Xmas to pass.

Thank you! I'm pretty excited about getting them.
I got them from a vendor that I don't believe sponsors this forum. If you really want to know pm and I'll reply with the web site. And yes they are wild caught from the Solomons I believe. The vendor who is also a good friend has had them in his QT for nearly a month now. It's been a looooong wait.
FWIW I never buy wild caught anything when CB alternatives are available but when Bob showed me the picture of this pair I knew I had to violate my ethics.
I'm not sure about the underwater part but it was taken at the facility they were purchased from.

Finally after waiting forever I got them home. I love them so much already.
Because they were shipped via Delta Cargo they were in the bags less than 9 hours and acclimated as well as if I'd bought them at the LFS.

Thank you.
Thanks! I've been thinking of getting some books on rearing fry. Have any suggestions on good ones?
I have a pair of Occ. that lay about every 20 days it seems but I've never done anything with the spawn.

Those do look really cool. Bob's quarantine procedures are a nice bonus indeed. Nice pair and good luck with them.

Ah ha! You know who sold me these fish! This is the second purchase of fish from them and both times have been exceptional.
Thanks for the complements. They are little pigs and using a torch as host already.
There are so many books on breeding clowns and a lot with good reviews. I wish I could find some people with opinions on which two or three are the best.
