Very nice. Is he the darkest of all of your babies? I an really see the Ocellaris shape in this clown.

Sanjay,
Great looking fish! How many dorsal spine does it have? is it consistent with all the clowns?

I have trouble counting the spines.. hard for me to see.

Wow Sanjay. That's a pretty awesome fish. You should try and get a pair of those and see if you can get them to spawn. It might be the next big thing Very nice fish. Are any of them full perfect bars? All the pics I see are misbars.

The first batch had a lot of perfect bars. The 2nd batch I started playing with temperature to see if that had an effect on mis bars and it seems to. I got more mis bars at higher temps. I kind of like the mis bars - adds more variety to the fish.

I have a couple of these F1 that I am saving to see what comes from the F2 generation.

Also, now that the male is dead, I will pair the female with one of its off spring.

He is the darkest of the ones I kept from the first batch. There seem to be others that are just as dark or even more black among the ones that others got from me.

Plus at this point, I do not know how dark/black they will get over time. My guess is that in the worst case you will end up with an awesome looking Onyx, or a completely black occellaris looking fish.

I personally hope that they retain the orange in parts of the body and fins. That is how I like them.

Beautiful fish. You should come up with a name for them. Hybrid Onyx/Black ocellaris doesn't do the fish justice. Very unique and awesome fish.

 

[Arati]

We been calling them Sanjays GLE Clownfish (genetic limited edition). lol

Yeah, we need to come up with a name for them.

I am thinking - BLACK PHOTON Clownfish ;-)

Any other suggestions ?

You are off by a few states

Pair was acquired in CO, babies born in PA, went to Wisconsin, and now heading to TX.

Enjoy the fish.. and keep us posted on them.

I thought you were PA but for some reason I was thinking about a reef club in NY.

Ofcourse this goes to prove my rule - Dont drink and type.

I hate rules.

Hey how many pairs did you send DD? Is this the first pair they have sold? Can we expect them to sell some more?

Thanks Again

sanonyx : (SANjay : NON- ONYX: non traditional onyx) : fish of that quality defines your culturing environment. congrats.

 

[ILLiDaN]

so pronounced as sonics?lol

 

[Sanjay]

I hope this is not considered a selling post.. since all I am doing is documenting the clownfish. These were sent to DD several months ago, and I had not seen how they had developed until just now.

I am very interested in keeping track of how they develop, so whoever ended up with these fish.. please keep posting pictures.

[Lifes A Beach]

Just curious...how much did they sell for on DD? Nice fish!

 

[OrionN]

Looks like somebody gave these clowns a name
Black Photon-What a name...
Black as in out of the visible spectrum? Ultra high frequency gamma ray or low frequency radio waves?

 

[Heterodonut]

Sanjay, I saw a pair of your fish for sale on Diver's Den @ L.A. Did you contact them to sell them, or did they go through another channel and end up there? If you don't want to post such info in this thread I understand, but if you could PM me I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing the info on how you brought these fish up.

 

[Sanjay]

I'll PM you.. lets keep the selling info out of this thread.

BLACK as in both parents being predominantly black color. The black ocellaris and Onyx Perc.

PHOTON - from the ongoing ribbing I take from my friends who have labeled me the PHOTON MAN due to all my lighting work and presentations. They took it far enough that PHOTON MAN made to the cover of a reef magazine.

Hence my fun name for these fish - BLACK PHOTONS Black clownfish hybrids raised by the PHOTON MAN. :lol: :lol:
