New Amphiprion latezonatus pair

[latinbeachboy10]

I am getting a pair of these in two weeks and want to prepare for them as much as I can. I have a QT system setup for them, but what would you recomend for treatment? I have read that these fish ship poorly and are very suceptible to "clownfish desease". I was thinking Hyposalinity. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh btw, I'm not new to keeping clowns, I have two pairs now (WC Onyx Percs, and Black Saddlebacks).

thank you!

I would recomend a big chiller. These fish come from temperate waters and typical reef temps are too hot.

hmm, I saw pictures of a guy on here that had them with a gigantea carpet with success. I assumed that they could adapt to reef tank conditions. however if they will do better in cooler water, then I could add them to my seahorse system that is at 74 degrees

Here is my thread regarding my recent Latz find that discusses QT.
