Maroon clowns at the critter

[cczarnik]

Anybody got the scoop on where they came from? I bet a local trade, hanging out in a big RBTA, definite paired adults. Wondering if they're spawning or are bullies? $89 for the pair, price seemed pretty good. Chuck

Well I'll speak from experience, there probably bullies or tank rearrangers mine will move anything that they don't like including rock, sand, coral, etc. And when large will beat an anemone to death in short time. Aside from that there great fish real personality!!

Chuck, pass on the GSM's unless you want to dedicate a lot of tank real estate to them. beautifull fish but man they can be buggers with territory and will in fact pick up and move coral and rock they don't want on there land! I was not willing to give mine any space in the 270 and ditched them (well after I killed the boy I had a easier time ditching her)
Glad to hear the corals are doing good! The rics are attatching in a cup and the tubbs are beautifull! The gorge is now one of my favs.... looks real blue in my tank! Thanks!

They will rearrange to suit them.....it's incredible what they can pick up.

Mine is constantly moving sand, trying to expose the glass.....she likes a bare bottom apparently.

My maroon has been good though. She doesn't mess with the other fish unless they stray into her area. I've wanted to get her a mate, but I've heard some bad stories about rejection....

This pair was huge and appeared very happy together. No way I could put them in my display (just too much going on in there), would have to set up a big species tank. I'm just looking for something that's ready to have some babies . Will keep looking...
