Clownfish pictures.

I noticed the dates on these folks that could only see red x's has been quite a while but I was looking at them just now and they came through with flying colors. Very nice. I haven't finished reading the thread yet though. Maybe someone did something to make it work better by now.;) Oops, maybe I spoke to soon, I was scrolling down just now to the bottom of this page and found more pictures of clownfish with anenomes and there was some of them that I couldn't see, they only had red x's.
 
The original problem was solved by paying for more bandwidth. Anything that is showing up with x's now is because someone else is out of bandwidth or they have removed their pictures.

awesome, now i am trying to figure out whether the pink or the orange skunk are from fiji?i think its the orange.. and the other clown from fiji area...i think its the orange finned clown...
 
Onyx will have no black between any of the bars when they are adults, and IME the dorsal will be black. As juvies the dorsal will be orange, and there will be some orange between the middle and 3rd bar if they are still juvies. Solomon will have orange between the second and 3rd bar even as adults.

Is onyx an actualy type of clownfish.. I was under the impression it's just a name given by a dealer to indentify true percs with "more black" then usally.

Onyx is a variant of A. percula.

The term "onyx" was coined by CQuest many years ago to identify a variant of A. percula they were breeding. At the time they claimed that they had selectively bred A. percula from the Solomon Islands to achive the complete back markings between the head and tail bars.

Since then we know that was not the turth and that this variant is naturally occuring in both fish from the Solomon Islands and from PNG.

The "Onyx" the Cquest coined have black dorsals and no orange between either of the bars.. The clown coming from SI and PNG have orange dorsals, and most have orange between the center and tail bar. IMO, they are not Onyx.

I still beleive that they (Cquest) have selectively bred a recessive gene that still breeds true, and the others coming in do not have that gene. My pair produces fri with black dorsals and no orange between the bars. The black is also much more vibrant. Just like the Cquest clowns.
 
OÃ"šÃ‚´nyx

Noun 1. onyx - a chalcedony with alternating black and white bands; used in making cameos

Based on the actual definition it would be only black and white. Any orange on the fish wouldn't = Onyx.

It is like saying a black lab with a white spot on it's chest is a Domino Lab. Then people would be arguing over where the spot was and how big it had to be to qualify it as a domino lab. What if it had 2 white spots instead of 1? Would it be a double domino lab?

Onyx = a made up term for A. percula clownfish that have alot of black coloration. How much black and where the black is can evidently make a $50 or more difference in the asking price of the offspring so it is important to people selling the true "onyx" to be able to say that only their fish are onyx. In fact none of the clowns would qualify as Onyx based on the true definition of the word so it will always be an arguement over how much orange they can have and still be Onyx.

FWIW, Nathan
