SRC Member scarab Posted August 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 30, 2004 i have been waiting for the paired black ocellaris to come again but never see them again..... woonming had a pair long time back...but he sold it off....sigh... it is pure black and white.....really nice i think 2nd choice would be a pair of skunk clowns Yup the black perc clowns are nice. Don't see them around anymore. I know AGM has a pair. Not sure if the true percs will fight with the pink skunk or not? They seem tolerant of their same kind but another species.............???

roidan Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 dispar: mine must be the cheapest true percula pair....coz has the least black banding.....that time i saw this pair look quite cute...so even though very little black banding i also did not mind..hehe hamann: yeah..i heard of other reefers who also do not observe anemone acceptance from their clowns....well....this kind of thing maybe needs luck and abit of chemistry between the clowns and the anemone..hehe scarab: heee..time for me to ask AGM to let me have his black paired if he ever wants to let go..hehehe Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member flubberina13 Posted September 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2004 Do they attack fish that venture near there? Does the male one always swim within the vicinity of them? If yes...by the look of them and their proximity to the sea anemone and rock...congrats... you got to standby the nursery so that the baby fries will not turn into sashimi for your other fish...

roidan Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 actually the place is the rightmost part of the tank..no other fish get access to it except the clowns....somemore it's partially hidden by the anemone that's why even me myself din notice it......i think there are little eyes in there...means larvae stage already..otherwise during egg stage already genna eaten up by other fish..... got the protection of the anemone.... yeah...the male always hang around there....whereas the female pay occasional visits only....i dunno if i am imagining..but i see the male seems like preventing the tentacles of the anemone from hitting directly on these stuff..he tries to deflect the tentacles with his own body instead of letting them hit directly on these little things... anyway...even when they become free swimming...they wun survive the reef ahead of them....unless they really stick around the anemone..then probably be safe...but i doubt so.... anyway, interesting thing to happen when i least expect it..hehe Advanced Aquarist (March05) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member flubberina13 Posted September 2, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2004 that's what I meant...sashimi... But set up your nursery and when they are born, scoop them out and put into the nursery. Use the long sea grasses to mimick the anemones and feed selcon-enriched BBS. Then you will have locally-raised tank-bred nemos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member surfedelic Posted September 3, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2004 That's interesting ......Maybe try your luck to catch them ... Use a torch light to shine during the night when they hatch -provided your tunze dont blow them all over man ...usu they will follow the night ... that's what i did to the fry of my cleaner ...then i scoop them up. Yah ..somemore imagine 1 pair maybe sell for 30 bucks X 100 - ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Guinness Posted September 3, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 3, 2004 are these really little nemos? RESPECT!!!!! To increase chance of survival of all the little ones, you may try to reduce your water flow. Obviously if you need the flow to ensure the suvival of your other inhabitants.... this is a non-option. If happen happen in my tank, i confirm try. But my clowns different species leh, dunno if clowns are racist or not. Dunno when they decided to get jiggy with it.
