Couple Shots of My Babies(Onyx Clowns)

[this is me]

First pair. The larger pair. The first to get their third stripe but the black between second and third bar is the slowest to fill in. A couple spines in the dorsal has become black.
Hosting in a Sabae.

Second pair. The smaller pair. Slowest in developing the third stripe but the black is complete between second and third stripe. Dorsal is also black.

All together.

The super Onyx. Complete black with black dorsal.

awesome nick. IME stability is the key to getting that coloration so congrats on providing such a great home for them.

mine kind of looks like the one in the bottom right of ur oct photo but has no black on its back fins or tail.

did that one darken up a lot nick?

That's actually the super onyx one!!
It is hard to tell which clown will get to their super onyx state first.

Naturally, I thought the three darkest initially will be the first to fully develop their colors but that was not the case.
The two darkest are still working on the black between second and third stripe while the lightest clown of all reach its full coloration before anyone else.

You just have to watch and see. Some onyx clown may never reach its full coloration.

Looks like they like molesting your goniopera!

Did you lose the fifth?

They look great! I love the stubby body type.
It'll color up soon. Keep us/me updated.

I agree, the goni is getting molested for sure.
The fifth one was sold.
