nice...how old these clowns r??? r they captive breed??

 

[skoolz]

nismo, what size were yours when you got them and how long have you had them?? I see they are starting to lose their second stripe. Nice looking pair!

I had to repair mine when I moved.. I think that Mcc clowns don't really show as much love towards each other as some other species... At least not until breeding

Recent video I took..

nice....how big is this tank

 

[deangelr]

Like 57.. I had them in a 40 for a while..

Nice video and clowns. How old are they now?

 

[deangelr]

I have no idea.. I bought them from a guy who sold all sorts of exotic plants and animals.. These fish have been in this forum before.. They look the exact same as when posted in 2009. They were clearly adult fish in 2009 so they are several years old at minimum.

They were sold to the original owner as a WC pair. I have the invoice. I have spent a lot of time trying to track down the collector but no avail..

I think it is possible they came in a shipment in late 2008. R e e f b u idlers had a nice article on it.. You can google it. I would like to find out for sure they are WC but it seems impossible.

I tried to find the article at RB but couldn't locate it. Interesting story nonetheless. I know all about Mr. Blues clowns and his offspring. Could your pair be from Mr. Blue?

 

[deangelr]

They very well could be.. Maybe same as LA's.. I am hoping they are maybe WC pair of his.. I don't know.

They were imported by a place called saltwater connection in OH. I can't find if it even exists.


Could be from this..?

They're so cute

Are you going to give them a "natural" anemone host and if so which, BTA or Sebae H. crispa?

 

[lsingh]

I do hve a RBTA in my tank... Let see if they host that

...safe to say that's a sure bet. I especially like natural host anemone combos. I think the rbta, flame-rbta or metallic green/deep purple tips bta morphs/mcc's would be killer!

To marc.

I only go with natural anemone anemonefish combos. Especially wild caught fish.
