You are obviously not familiar with rods clowns, and no, he doesn't gaurantee 3 bar coloration, no one can 100%. These are th nicst clowns I have come across, if you have not seen an adult pair of rods clowns, don't bash them

I see a tiny difference! The front top is getting a muddy color which means the black should come there within the next month!
The back looks a TINY bit thicker too!
Dont get discouraged, they are babies still! i've herd it can take up to 18 months for some to fill in!!!!
Feed Cyclopeeze if you cant get ahold of rods food.

Try for a monthly update! thats what I did with mine & even though I could not see the color change all the time, the pictures side by side shown a color change.
Also, get the same side of the clown every time, both sides of my clown are different.
Anyway... I'd love to see someone else's monthly updates than just mine! I think it would be a great resource for onyx owners and future owners to see different clowns develope & get a better estimate of how long it could take for them to mature & black to fill in.
Do you have an estimate of how old the clowns were when you purchased them?
Whew! Sorry for the essay response!!!! I just got excited when someone else said they were going to keep updates!

Moved on
The dates are correct. These fish are in my office so I feed them constantly during the day. Some Mysis shrimp (once a week because it is too much trouble to get them thawn out and they are too big for my fish, I have to chop them into 1/3). At least 4 times per day except weekend when they have no food, they get Dry Cyclop-eeze, ORA Glo (crushed), Omega One super color and (just because I have it) HBH Betta bites.
The fish showed is the only one of five that turn fully Onyx. Other are on their way. With the amout of feeding I gave them, they grow very fast also. From one inch to 1.75 inch in about 10 weeks.
I change 6 gal of water out of 24 every week.
I will cut down on feeding now because I don't want to change water that often anymore. I guess they got what most people call saturation feeding.
BTW, I got no BTA in my tank.
