clown fish

[saltwaterpicaso]

i recently picked up a maine mocha clown fish. just wondering if anyone else has had one before. really and i mean really active fish it really brought out the life in my other clown fish. ive never seen such an active clown just wondering if this is normal for that breed.

Cool fish! Thx for sharing!

 

[saltwaterpicaso]

the one is a normal ocilaris and the other is a maine mocha clown its a hybrid

 

[Jacwil]

these are what species.... ?

Evidently a different color morph/hybrid of the A. ocellaris. I was curious too and searched quick.

these are what species.... ?

Ocellaris. I believe they are a Darwin/black crossed with a "normal" ocellaris.

yeah that is what there are. there really good looking clowns allot of the designer clowns i see look funky and it throws me off. i like these they look natural and the coloring is amazing

a lot of designer clowns DO look funky :spin2:

all that matters about YOUR fishes is that YOU like them. I think these are pretty sharp myself.

thanks for the explanation, Nirvana
