red ocellaris clown is normal clown. it's the exact same species just that the colour is more intense.

that's all.

finding suitable tankmates for my golden angel

currently i have a turbo snail, 3 nassarius snails and a boxing shrimp

will Red Ocellaris Clownfish fit in?

this will be my final stock list

thanks

ps if i had read your colini angel thread, would have bought the mini golden instead as the survival rate is higher

that's why reading and research is very important.

how's your golden doing? feeding yet? what size did you get.

chose the 2nd most "golden" as the most "golden" tail was broken

size app 1.5", fed with pounded ON 1 & 2, frozen cyclop eeze

eating or not i cannot tell

it always disappear when i approach, can only peep from afar

will get some BBS soon, hopefully it is doing fine

thanks for the info jacky

broken tail is fine. as long as not rotting, fungus or bleeding.

1.5' is a good size

Anyone who bought it from Henry, care to share some pics? Intense red ocellaris are one of my first love in the marine hobby, and would love to keep them again.

According to Iwarna (saw several in their huge display tank couple of years ago) redness due to daily feeding of cyclopeeze. Otherwise it's normal and yes, it's peaceful. Used to keep several with C. aurantius in a 3 footer' three yrs ago until my tank crashed when I added some new fish . Usually happens when aggression occurs.

U asked n I replied.

It is slightly redder than that, actually red is not a good word, it is more like a dark and bright orange. I had that fish for almost 2 years, and as it grew bigger the colour faded, but was still more orange than the normal pale orange ocellaris. I think bro finbir is right, it could be a result of pigment rich diet.

Nice! I like those with darker lines, similar to yours.

bought a pair of black clown instead

will definitely get myself a red clown if opportunity arise
