I'm thinking of getting a clownfish pair (prob ocellaris) does anyone know the easiest kind to keep? and which anenomes re compatible with it and how easy they are to keep as well? any information would be appreciated... any breeding information would be of help too... conditions for breeding... becoming a pair.. do you need an anenome? etc... thanks

My opinion for easiest clownfish are A. Ocellaris and A. Percula. As far as anemones go BTA's are generally the easiest but by no means easy. For most of your concerns you should first read through this http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=282136 and then if you have more questions you will get more looks if you start up a new thread.

I don't want to start a fight or anything, but I too fell in love with the picasso percula. After searching high and low (including TCM's site) and turning up nothing, I went back and had another look at the photos.
First off, let me tell you that I used to teach Adobe Photoshop professionally. I led the trade show demonstrations for release 5.0 in the Adobe booth at trade shows around the country, taught for the Internet Institute, as well as subbing for the Art Institute of Dallas. Needless to say, I know my photo-editing.
In using some techniques that I taught to law enforcement agencies to spot "doctored" photos, I find ample evidence of this in both the snowflake image, and the square snowflake. I'm not saying they definitively do not exist, but I definitely question the validity of those photos. You don't need a fancy degree to see it either, look at the white stripe under the eye of the squareflake, there are two of them, different shades and all. One was layed on top of the original stripe.
Pretty good photo editing, but edited in my opinion. Just didn't want other people out on a wild goose chase like I feel that I was...

Whatever you call them, I just got two about a week ago. They were at a lfs, I traded 15 small osc for them (they were asking $150). The small one looks like the one above with the cheek mark & black spot, but not as nice. The "female" just looks like a perc with extra wide white stripes. They are not really a pair, just two fish in the same tank. I'll start a thread on them in the FBF after I get some decent pics.

did u get them at VM (brillant reef)?
Question: I saw a beautiful pair of what I thought were Black and White perculas at my LFS. I really think they are Saddlebacks. Any experience here with Saddleback clowns? I really love the perc but these at the store are really beautiful. I know that clowns dont get along so well...if I bring these two Saddlebacks into my tank, can I also house a percula?
