Lets see those naked clowns!

at first i wasnt really into the naked clowns.
but they are growing on me.
the more i learn about them the more i am fascinated about clowns in general.

If your clowns have a bar or a spot then they are not "Naked Clowns". They are a mixture of nakeds and another fish. Check with ORA to see the history of the morph.

i think nakeds are sterile as well, just like parrots, that would be why in 3-4 years that they have been for sale not one breeding pair has shown up on RC

 

[Jeff]

I know that they are tough to breed. A fellow reefer close to me has pairs of everything and has been unable to breed his pair of nakeds. ORA has bred thousands of them somehow and made them available to fish stores. I have a store near me that sells them for $40.00 each.

naked or not, they are directly from ORA and Labled NC on the bags.
i think i rather have the unique mark like the white cheek, other than all orange(the male is all orange no spot or bar.)

Nakeds are not sterile. I know a person with a breeding pair of ORA nakeds. We are working out our schedules so that I can collect some of the larvae. This won't be for a while (July) as I am traveling off and on in June.

I will try to get some pics next time I am over there. I am curious what they will produce as babies.
