Percula growth milestones

Really? They bred those from occ, how did they get so much black on them? Well i shot a video just now. They did not like me turning the lights back on them but I just shot a short video. It may sound odd for someone with about seven mated pairs but I don't really follow the designer clown stuff much. I thought they were ugly when they first came out but the black ice really caught my liking. I also bought a second pair all white with black fins. I assumed they were bred from pers also because of the deep black on the fins and face.

Anyway I will see if i can add the video up. The oldest clowns in the tank are the black ice. There are some percs in there that are about five days younger and some maroons and black ice that only about three weeks old. I only see the black ice and one occ in the short video.

yeah a little reading says bred from occ. That explains why i could not get my female perc to pair with one. I have had them together for quite a while. I pulled the black ice from the tank and the big female perc started to act like she was setting up house. I just paired her with a smaller perc and they have selected a flower pot and should be giving me eggs soon. What is are the physical diffs between percs and occ, there must be at least one physical difference other than color? I guess when i think of it occ pair has a lot of black on them also. the occ sometimes have hardly any black i guess that has always been what i looked for. What ever the difference it is not so obvious that stands out on casual observation. - mark
 
I give up. Tried to upload the video but i keep getting a message that says security token missing. What on earth is that.
 
trust me I don't keep up with designer clowns much either, there are just way to many of them, and I will not breed them either, I will stick to regular clowns or hybrid but not incest :p. but I know alot of people like the designers and I am all for that as long as the shape and health of the clown is good.

there really isn't much diffrence between occ and percs except for color. occ will get bigger and IMO are a lil more calmer than percs.
 
percs and OCC clowns should really have no problems pairing up though, it is very common for them to, not sure why yours wouldn't unless it was 2 females.

as for the missing token I have not a clue what that is.
 
could be. Normally when I add a smaller clown they sort things out with the big one becoming female and the small one male. I don't believe they become female unless they are mature and nominate in a tank or in a location. That big perc totally changed behavior after removing the smaller designer clown. Maybe she just thought he was ugly. LOL
