Clownfish List & Pictures

[mrblue]

Cool, thanks for the info, I understand now. It's strange what you say about nutrition, Atticus, because a lot of my mature pairs have gone through rapid, growth/color change in a reasonably short time (check my GBM in my gallery), maybe it's the funky 'gumbo' I feed my fish, or the 11 other options they have to pick from.

 

[Rod Buehler]

I beleive lighting and nutrition are 2 of the biggest factors. Most of mine are black before they reach the 1 year mark. A male with a darker gene may also play a role . The clown in my avitar is a juvie that is about 10 monts old.

Cool, thanks for the input.

I like the new pic Rod!

Thanks David, but I cant take credit. The juvie is from my pair, but I did not take the pic. Casbarian took the picture and cut it out for me. My camera skills are not very good, while his are.

why is my ocellaris fish called a "false clown"? I have never understood that...

The "trade" name for them is The False Percula Clownfish. An attempt to seperate them from A. percula (aka the Percula Clownfish) as they are a different species (A. ocellaris).

A question for the more experienced clownfish breeder (Oama). This question is also in its own thread, anything answered here I will copy over.

My Allardi pair is said to be a juvenile pair. (pic bellow)

Will their markings change before they are able to spawn?

SDC had them in their list two weeks ago. Those are babies and I would say they are 3-5 months old. They have way to go to start spawning. I have 4 pairs of them and they are one of the nices after two banded once.

Squareflake Clownfish

Is the Squareflake legit, or is it photoshopped? I think it is really unique, but I can find no mention of it online anywhere.

It is being termed a Picasso Percula and it is legit.

Does anyone have any idea what the anemone in this picture is? I can get them in but I have no clue about their husbandry needs.

Thanks,

Heres a black variant of A. ocellaris

[/B]

Do these pair qualify as Ocellaris Var or Perculas? They are lighter than your variants, but mine are younger....am I to expect on upon getting older, they'll lose the orange on their face and go all black as in your picture above? This was the only picture I saw that came close to the ones I have. They were labeled when I bought them as "black true perculas" Any light you can shine on this would help. Thanks.

here's my pair:

Those whould be a juvi pair of ocellaris.

of the black variant right? So in fact they will turn darker(black *as in pic*) when they mature?

 

[Dlckwood]

Yep, black ones. They should darken up but there is no garrantee they will be completely jet black.

Looks great, looking at all the pictures going down I could hear myself saying, "I want that, that, that, a pair of that, that, and that".

Nice post!

I was thinking exactly the same thing
