green carpet?

[fnvarner]

what type of clowns will host in a green carpet and would a gold stripe maroon or blue stripe clarki?

 

[Toddrtrex]

Need to know what type of carpet.
Is it a Haddoni, gigantea, or mertensii ?

One of my Haddonis is a host to a pair of Clarkiis, the other one to a pair of pink skunks.

Edit, an Entacmaea quadricolor ( BTA ) is a natural host for Maroons, and a Haddoni ( carpet ) for Clarkii.

nice pic!!!!!!!!!

Clarkii is the universal symbiont of the clownfish world. They will naturally live in any of the host anemone species, including the 3 carpet species Todd mentioned--and the pizza anemone.

<-----------<<<< Saddlebacks love haddonis as well.

Here are my pink skunks in my blue Haddoni.

 

[garygb]

Very nice group you have there Todd.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Thanks Gary. It is hard to get a decent shot of all of them. It is near the corner of the tank, and getting a side shot is difficult with one of my speakers near it.

Hopefully one day they will get their act together and start spawning.

 

[garygb]

I've never had skunks, but they seem like mild mannered fish, as clowns go. And in their subtle way, they are very nice looking. I'll bet they will start spawning at some point. If they are like ocellaris, once they start spawning they will every 12 days or so. As soon as a batch of eggs hatch, they start cleaning the spot for the next batch.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Over all they are pretty mild mannered, but they also don't back down for other fish. And they are the most vocal fish I have ever had. Can hear them "barking" over the TV.

LOL In fact I just watched the male peacefully shove my mandarin out of that corner. But was almost gentle about it. Just swam up from the anemone, turned his body sideways and move it.

 

[garygb]

lol, like it were a rock or something.

That's neat that they bark. Like little puppies.

 

[Toddrtrex]

Exactly. But it seemed like he wasn't trying to hurt the mandarin.

And they ( mainly the female ) will get loud and come up right to the glass if I stare too long at them.

You have a mandarin with a Haddoni? Has that anemone ever eaten any of your fish?

I have had the blue one for about a year, has never eaten any fish. I have a yellow/green/tan one that I've had for 7+ years. It has only eaten a yellow watchman goby, that happened about 5 years ago. I wish I knew what I've been doing to prevent it.

Most of the time the Hadonnis have been hosting clowns, not sure if that plays into it. Though for about 7 months the blue one was with my other Haddoni and wasn't hosting any clowns, and lost no fish.

I have an opportunity to get a 20" green but I'm not sure if it can co-exist with my btas. If it can, I'll give it a shot and hope my fish stay away from it.

[fnvarner]
