First Pair of Snowflakes

[Spyderturbo007]

I was at the LFS yesterday searching for my next fish. I currently only have Fiona, a purple firefish in my DT. I wasn't sure what I wanted to buy until I stumbled on these guys. Apparently a male and female that I had seen the previous visit, but wasn't prepared to purchase at that time.

The look healthy and seemed to settle in to the QT pretty quickly. I can't wait to get them in the DT.

I'll try to get some better pictures later, but the little guys won't stop swimming around long enough to get a decent photo.

Wow, beautiful pair you got! I love the spots, I have 4 snowflake patterns and only one has a few spots (my black phantom) but not like yours.

Those are unique. They should be called Domino Snowflakes.

They called them Black Ice Snowflakes at the store. I think they are so cute. My wife absolutely loves them. She wants me to put them in the DT already.

Nice pickup. Good looking pair you go there. Good luck with them

Thanks aandfsoccr04. I haven't feed them yet, but I'm going to do that when I get home from work. I'm sure they are hungry by now. The lady at the LFS said they were eating both flake and Mysis. I'm assuming they had to be eating well, since they had been there for over a month.

As good looking as they are, I can't believe they sat there that long. Perhaps it was the humungous price tag that scared everyone away.

Black ice?! Nice! They will darken as they grow then. Black ice is snowflake x black and white. I have one paired with my phantom (snowflake but black instead of orange).

OK, I hate all of this designer clown stuff and calling them some weird name thing. But I have to tell you, those are some of the coolest fish I have ever seen!

I was with you on the designers, but then I browsed through the snowflake thread and fell in love with all he beauties. I am now getting rid of my normal striped clowns lol.

Sorry for the hijack

Thanks Stopsignhank. I think they are one of the better pairs I have seen. I've been searching the Internet since I started the tank looking for the perfect pair. As soon as I saw them in the tank at the store I knew I had to have them. Oddly enough, the disgusting price tag didn't even phase me. :lol2:

 

[seamonkey84]

How much did you get those for? I got my black ice for 110.

 

[Spyderturbo007]

$143/each.

Those are real beauties. You'll have to post more pics as they grow and their black markings fill in.

 

[seamonkey84]

Not bad, as mine isn't nearly as nicely pattered as yours

 

[Stopsignhank]

I'll try to get some better pictures later

:wave:

Those are great looking fish. I'm going to get a pair when I set up my other tank.
