Hello guys,

I bought my Onyxes 2 years ago, when they were as tiny as 1/2 inch.
Are they getting "that" color or they will be something else?

Thanks,

My Rod Onyx Pair

The color of your fish now is the final color of these Onyx. They are in a Gigantea which does not cause fade of color, and at 2 years old they are mature fish and will not gain anymore color.

Your yellow tang is really out of place among these expensive fishes
 
thats their final color i believe. they do take a while to get all their black, and might possibley get a little more darker, but doubtful. but you have a beautiful pair of clowns and the other fish for that matter.

i got 2 pairs of Rods Onyx and one female is like yours and i have a pairs thats almost completely jet black all over with minimal orange. they vary alot.
 
Thank you all.

OrionN, yes the yellow tang is a regular Joe but it’s been with me 7 years, my wife loves him most.

GSMguy, the Efflo was getting too big, I had to move it. ( Almost 3’x3’)

Jbax, sorry, I don’t have any pics when they were small.

Jt_milstead, the tank looks small in the picture because its depth. It’s 5’x4’x2’ tall.

By the way, they've been cleaning a rock for a week now. will the female lay eggs soon?
