Favorite clowns?

[Blue Lip]

I have latz clownfish that are breeding. Im new to this forum & don't know how to post pictures from my phone.

I think this is the one you were planning to sell to me? :celeb1:

LOL I wish.

You never know. LOL If I ever decided to part with this pair it would have to be you or Minh :beer:

The C-Quest onyx line is by now a bit too inbred.

Good C-quest clowns are very hard to come by nowadays...that's for sure.

Favorite clowns?

My favorite currently are my cinnamon clowns. I had a pair of mocha clowns years ago that I also loved.

I think cinnamon clowns are adorable. I love their shape.

I just acquired these a month ago and I love them. The way they move is different than other clowns that I have seen

Unfortunately most stores only have designer clowns these days ... or misbars - I can't see it anymore :headwally:
Interestingly enough, if wild ones come in they usually sell quickly.



Do you breed them?

The wild Darwin female is mated to an ordinary wild ocellaris male. Would be cool to breed 50% F1 Darwins if I was able to pair her with a non-deformed tank-bred Darwin, but I don't have a heart to break up the happy couple.

For sure! It's like watching two little fireballs speed around the tank :fish1:

If you breed those you will likely get hybrids - there is plenty of evidence to see the black Darwin clowns as a separate species, most notably the predictability of such a pairings offspring.

Also all the studies I could find on ocellaris would encompassed all other regions where ocellaris are found, except for the Northwest Australian coast where the Darwins are found.

Could you pass along some literature on that? I'm a little hesitant to believe they are a totally different species because they are so morphologically and behaviorally similar. Sub-species perhaps.

+1 on the mocha clowns

My favorites are Picasso & true perculas. Here's a pic of my pair.

Are you sure those are picassos? Based on the color they look like DaVincis, which are ocellaris.

Are both pairs currently or going to be housed together in your 65-gallon aquarium?

They are all in separate tanks. I've got 4 tanks. 65g, 120g, 30g, and a Reefer nano. The spawning clowns are in my 65g and 30g.

Any idea what type this is? LFS was not even sure. (let me name my price because it was not mark or sure what it was) Been told may be mocha. But looking at the bit of snowflake to the white I was thinking Phantom. Little guy has a nice brown to him.

I like picasso clowns too when they are wild caught like the one in the pic below.

LOL...Believe it or not it used to be much darker like most Solomon percs.
Fast forward this video to 2:50 and you'll see. Pretty remarkable actually.
