My new clowns

[mr9iron]

I finally, after looking for quite a while, was able to pick up a small pair of Pink Skunks today. I'm very excited as I have been wanting a pair of these little devils for a few years now. They are tank raised so that's a plus.:beer:

Cool, show us some pics

I will try and post a video once I figure out my youtube password.

Here is a crappy video taken from my cell phone. The tank was dirty as well but you get the idea. I will try to post a better video tomorrow.

Nice looking pair -- I think that they are under-rated. My pair is fairly vocal -- best to describe it as barking.

 

[mr9iron]

Todd thank you very much. I can't wait to hear mine start barking. On a side note, have your skunks spawned?

 

[Toddrtrex]

Yeah, they have been spawning for over a year now -- every 2 weeks. They didn't even slow down when I lost their one Haddoni (( there was/is another one in the tank, that took them 2 days to find ))

Todd can you explain the "barking" sound they make

It is sort of hard to describe, but any time I am sitting close to the tank (( and sometimes even when I am on the couch and just look at them )), they will come up to the glass, their whole body will shake and there will be a "barking" type sound. At times I have even heard it over the TV.

Very, very nice! I really like the pink skunks.

Thanks Sugar, me too! I have wanted a pair of these fish for quite some time now. When and if they start laying eggs I may give a try at raising the fry.

My Pink Skunk pair speak too, alot. It's fun to see, sounds like a chirping of sorts to me.
