My (mitch) Onyx biannual update

[ieatchinese]

Well, the Onyx Clowns are doing very well. The female has gone almost completely black. All that is left is her tail, face and the lower fins. The male is a bit slower, but he has picked up the pace lately.

Hope you all like them!

Great looking clowns, I hope mine get that dark eventually....

How long have you had them to get that colored up ???

 

[ieatchinese]

Have had them for a year and a half. Are yours from Mitch also?

I just got 2 from Mitch about week and a half ago.... Not nearly as colored up as yours can't wait til they do... Do you have before picture of them?

 

[ieatchinese]

Here is the pic from when I first got the fish.

Those are awesome, who is this guy that is selling them. I've been thinking about getting a pair but wasnt sure where I'd be able to find young ones.

 

[ieatchinese]

Mitch is located in Algonquin and he goes by the handle of Kerusso316 here on Reef Central.

Nope, I didnt know Mitch was breeding them at the time. Rod didnt have any at the time either...

Mine are from Matt Pedersen (sp?).... Theyre still young so I'm not too worried at this point, they dont even have full stripes yet....

Mine dance all over the tank together! They've been picking at a certain spot on the rock lately....so maybe good things are coming They're on the young side to mate, but who knows?

Doug I loved that "tear drop" on your one clown. Just a really cool looking clown. I was at Gofish and saw one with a similar mark, didn't even want clowns that day but ended up buying a pair. Such a cool pattern.

Here are the 2 I picked up from Mitch.

He really pairs them up really well...

Mitch and Pattie are awesome people and their clowns are absolutely amazing. Their setup is mindblowing. Although I do not have Onyx's, I was extremely impressed with their setup and knowledge on clowns.

ieatchinese, those are gorgeous clowns! I'm sure Mitch and Pattie will enjoy seeing how gorgeous some of their little ones look now!

 

[ieatchinese]

Thanks steri and all others for the comments. Mitch has seen my Onyx and he seems to be pretty proud of them.

 

[audiophile42]

Good looking clowns! Do you go out to Algonquin to buy some from Mitch, or does he sell to local area shops too? I could of sworn I saw some similar (not quite as black) at Old Orchard Aquarium in Skokie the other day.

 

[NewSchool04]

If that's the same anemone, you've done great with both the clowns and the nem.

 

[ieatchinese]

I live very near Mitch and so I go to his place. Don't know if he sells to the LFS's or not.

 

[Fish4us]

I would love to have a pair of Onyx... do you know where I could find someone that would ship me some to Arizona? I have an RBTA awaiting them

My husband also travels to Orlando/Tampa/Ft. Lauderdale areas for work as well if anyone else is aware of anyone with Onyx clowns that he might be able to hand carry back! (yes he has connections with the TSA to get liquids through the checkpoints)

Thanks please PM me

 

[ieatchinese]

Fish4us: Mitch told me that he ships. You can send him a PM at Kerusso316

TYVM!
