Do you think these clowns could pair up + info?

I dont know what im going to do its just, that It would be nice if I could get a wild clownfish. Or go to my LFS ( petco ugh ) and if it dies Im stuck with it. Really I dont like Petco very much.... I may get one from the ocean may not. IDK... No need to say bad words... :lolspin:

Do you live in or near by a major city??? There should be local pet stores than just petco to go too... Google it. Ask ur parents to help u find it. Either way you decide wild or TR good luck

I dont really live in a major city, lol. Im going to try to look for places. Maybe places that I can order online that isnt that far away ( from where I live ) and maybe have cheaper shipping. But, Ill have to check! thanks :love1: :lolspin:

it would be a safe bet that most single wild caught fish are 75% female. if you do get a wild caught clown you are bringing in a whole slew of parasites, fungus, virus's and bacterial and could possibly get the whole tank sick. i would try to find a tank raised fish under an inch and have it shipped to you. this is the only way for you to know it will be safe.

example. most male clowns are tiny in the wild. if they are seperated from the female for more than 15 days, it already turning into a female and it cannot stop or revert back. with diseases or a war on your hands you could be possibly looking to buy another fish, or a pair for that matter. i never had a problem with any clown hosting in a nem WC or TR. it just takes time and patience.
good luck to you.

Thanks! I think Im going to get a small clownfish smaller than mine or the same size at my LFS. Hopefully it will be a male. :worried:
