Looking for a deep red Clownfish

[groovemcfly]

Greetings

I'm looking for a deep red Clownfish. So far I've come up w/ the Tomato and the Cinnamon Clown. Which one is more dark red? I also heard that the tank-bred Tomatos are lighter in color than wild ones? Is this true? Thanks all

Well imo i would consider the maroon to be a dark red, so he would be your best bet.

Don't really like the look of the Maroon as much I do Cinnamon/Tomato

Go with A. frenatus...or a whitestripe maroon.

 

[groovemcfly]

Which Frenatus would be a more deep red, tank-bred or wild?

depends on which stock it came from. I really wouldnt use T/R vs WC as a comparison. Personally I think that flame clowns have a brighter color than either of the above mentioned fish, though I am partial to the cinnamon clown

I agree. I too am partial to cinnamon clowns, but nothing beats the red of a fire clown (though they have no stripes).

Fire clown
About as deep red as you can get.

my vote is for A. ephippium too.

My A. frenatus. Nice deep color and bright blue stripe.

Lovely frenatus, HVF. Where did you get him? TB or wild?
