Photo bomb of my clowns. Ora and gold flake maroons

[bobby415]

Just thought I'd share some crappy quality pics (LOL)of my clowns I've had for a few years. Hope you enjoy.. Ora actually contacted me about the gold flakes maroons to expand their genes but offered me next to nothing in compensation.less than I paid for them. Would you have done it?

I would have done it. Just to expand the gene pool overall.

 

[bobby415]

I wanted out,but whn u offer me half of wht they cost me...na i will pass and just keep them.

I see where someone would want to expand the gene pool but being low balled on a breeding pair that the company stands to make thousands off of to me they should have offered you at least what you paid. That's just my opinion though. We all know Ora is a great company but we also know they can afford to give you what you paid for them if they were serious about the deal. I wouldnt take the loss for my favorite fish I'll tell you that.. Nice clowns and thanks for sharing. What's the other pair?

 

[bobby415]

Hey DAP,in those pictures are my colony of wide bands and the other pair are ora spotcinctus.all my clowns are breeding like rabbit.lol and my maroon are my favorite..and yes i would of luv to help ora out but not at my loss.

Nice... No comp no deal. They might be one of the big leaguers but that doesn't mean they can push us little leaguers around.

 

[bobby415]

Yes no bullying the little guys..can't wait to add more clowns to my collection.

Looks like bobby could create his own gene pool.

Doesn't suprise me about ORA. They offer you pennies and sell it for hundreds.

 

[C Dog]

Breed them yourself and make $$$. That is BS on a low ball offer. These fish can make a lot of money.

 

[Ambition]

Nice clowns. ORA needs more than just one pair for their gene pools... Seems like they need to almost start over with some the the designers they offer IMO.

 

[bobby415]

Hi and yes it is possible for ora to bottle neck their gfm.and thxs on the compliment on my fishes.i didn't start collecting clown to breed and make money.i like there personally,and how mean they are.the only thing that bugs me..is whn i change things in the tank or feed the anemones.they attack me like a dog guarding a bone..lol

Nice... No comp no deal. They might be one of the big leaguers but that doesn't mean they can push us little leaguers around.

agreed.. dont think a pot of gold was in order, but a fair price, thats a must

 

[bobby415]

Thxs I have mine in a 55gal tall.wht size do u have them in?

 

[bobby415]

And whn i bought my gfm about four yrs ago people laugh at me..they said nice fish but i wouldn't pay over 100 each..but those who laughed at me are now begging me for some babys...no thanks..

 

[Kody10]

I have them in a 34 gallon Red Sea 130d 2 goldflake and 1phantom

 

[bobby415]

We have eggs..transferred tanks about a month ago to a new 100gal and everybody's doin well. Gold flake maroons are breeding every couple weeks. Now it's time to step up and raise the fry... Gathering info and equipment (sorry for the crappy pics)
