Clownfish ID

[dantodd]

I'm sorry for the poor quality but my camera phone is terrible. Can someone help me ID these fish. They are together but I don't know if they are the same species. I suspect they are but you'll notice that the smaller one has a little bit of a third stripe while the larger has only 2 stripes.

There is a little blue to the stripes making me think that maybe they are chrys. but the current owner says they are clarkii. They jsut don't look quite right for clarkii to me.

edit: also they look a little more oblong, less tall, than most clarkii I've seen in the past.

Not the best pictures, but I would say chrys too.

 

[phender]

I would say chrys also. The partial third stripe is a common characteristic of smaller fish.

Now if I can just get my wife to let me set up ANOTHER tank. She think 4 are enough.

I can get these for $50 for hte pair....

nice looking chrys, $50 not a bad price.

Maybe I can convince her that my son's room needs a tank. It worked for Mike.

And now marina posted pics of her setup and I'm seriously thinking about adding the chrys to my tank with a breeding clarkii pair. It's a 72 BF and the clarkii are tucked in a corner with their LTA......

I'm sure the clarkii will stop spawning for at least a little while but it might be worth trying.

My experience has been that if there's enough anemone, then there's room. I wouldn't add them if the clark's are occupying the only anemone in the tank.

funny cause my chrys, the larger female has a small 3rd stripe while the smaller male has only 2 stripes.
They look great

If I get them we can work out a trade on my next trip to Brighton!

That way we'd have one 2 pair with matching stripes.


LOL

LOL, I'm not allowing anyone to even view my pair I don't want them to stress out, or maybe that's me.
