Latz Clown Update

[Eastamherstbias]

My second baby cb full bar latz clown came in today from pacific island aquatics. I also received two black and gold domino damsels along with the order. Well Latz clowns are fighting for dominance. The weird part is the black and gold dominos have taken over the green bta with pink tips and kicked out the Latz. I bought a second green bta to try to release the tension. so we will see. Pics below.

Cool looking pairs.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

Yes, they are tiny right now. Can't wait till they are bigger.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

Right now the baby Latz are fighting a lot. Hopefully, they will settle in soon.

nice looking clowns.
do the bands get wider as they age?

What are you running your tank temp at?

 

[Eastamherstbias]

77-78. They are captive bred so they can take a higher temp. The latz should get wider bands as they grow.

The second Latz died after it's second day here. Pacific Island is sending another one. Shipping from Hawaii to Buffalo does not appear to be the best flight.

Here is a picture of the surviving Latz and Domino that all hang out in a giant pink tip anemone.

Sorry to hear about the death. I just got a pair from Pacific Island come in today, so far so good.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

How are they (same size)? Can I see a picture?

Here's a pic of your clowns older sister...

And its mate...

You can clearly see the widening of the bands as it gets older in the pics below. I've had the female since Nov, so it's probably around 10 months old now.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

Nice pictures.

 

[cgauer5]

Here they are, they are a pretty small. One is definitely a little better looking than the other, but I like them both. One is also a little bigger than the other. They are pretty camera shy and I couldn't get a good picture of them together.

 

[Eastamherstbias]

How are they getting along?

 

[cgauer5]

They are getting along great. They are all by themselves in a 45 gallon cube at the moment, which makes them look even smaller, but they stay huddled together most of the time. There was a little bickering at first but that has subsided. They are eating anything that I put in the tank for them, from mysis and cyclopeze to flake and pellet. Also, the second picture above doesn't do the little man justice because it is overexposed. They both have the same color as the first photo.
