ok, well let ME clear something up... i was in no way implying that I want to jump right into spawning.. I already know the amount of work and time... it's not easy, I know. And I am by no means ready for it... I thought it was good to hear that they are the easiest spawners though... just incase I DO decide I Want to raise the fry.

just checked on her... shes doing alright.. swimmin around, she has noticed the BTA, but will not go in yet.. probably a new one to her.


gunna take some pics in a sec. of all my new fish.

Clarkii's can be mean. Ask Marie in Powell River. Her's beat up on an expensive Majestic angel so now he's in Burnaby in my 20g wondering "what the bleep happened?" :biggrin:

By the way, anybody want a mean 3.5" male? Promised Marie I'd try to find him a good home if I don't keep it myself.

Actually Anthony, that fish has been on his own for the last year so it is probably a female now. My experience with clarkiis is that they are one of the more aggressive clowns but i have only had two so i could be wrong :lol:.
The female that i still have is a firm but fair boss of the tank and after a few run-ins with a fish net no longer attacks me when my hands are in the tank :biggrin: l

I read somwhere that clownfish need to get used to the anemone first. They did an experiment or somthing i cant remeber i will try to find it. Give him time he will go in. WHat do u mean by noticed it??

It's hosting now.. well not 100%.. but it's been playing with it if you will for a couple hours... too funny to watch. Thankfully it chose the big BTA.

Well, hopefully the clarkii doesn't pick on the flasher wrasse or yellow watchman. I can only pray... it's still fairly small, I gotta take a pic .

OCDP 03-29-2005 03:29 AM

well, I finally got around to the pics.... here's the new clown. (and carpenters flasher wrasse)

Oh, and just for the record i don't know where this one came from, so it could be african like yours :biggrin:

OCDP 03-29-2005 03:50 PM

nice! either way, african or not... they are awesome.. I like the colors of clarkii.

that's a nice tank you have.. or one of many nice tanks? haha.

what is that stuff in the bottom left of the picture? It's green and leafy and is infesting a zoanthid rock of mine, with another type of green stuff. Mine isn't nearly as long, but it grows like a weed so I keep picking it out.
