Good as GOLD!!
Well, i have been waiting for these guys for a long time! And finally, after almost a year of waiting, one of the stores got them in. So today, I picked up two Gold Stripe Maroon Clownfish! :love:
These guys are rare and fairly sought after in the hobby. They can go for $50 or more each at some stores! I currently have the female in a box in the main tank and the smaller male outside the box cruising the tank....eventually, i will let the female out....hopefully by then, they will be more used to eachother and only have a little fight before acceptance! :D Enjoy! The female: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...clowngold1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._MM/clown2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._MM/clown4.jpg The female and male outside the box: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...two-clowns.jpg the little male hiding behind some rocks: :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...mallclown1.jpg and some of the other fish in the tank: Yellow Tang: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/Raf_MM/tang.jpg Valentini Puffer: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2.../valentini.jpg The uber cute Porcupine Puffer I recently picked up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MM/puffer1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...MM/puffer2.jpg Picasso Trigger: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...M/picasso1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...M/picasso2.jpg That's all folks! :) |

Nice fish! Those clowns are beautiful! I love the porcupine puffer, they always look like they are smiling! :biggrin:
|
Yup. Gotta agree. Those are great pics & we love the gold striped maroons (got a pair ourselves hosting in a LTA) & porcupine puffer (lost it during the move :cry: ).

Now I have to say I admire your Gold Stripes.Can they be put into a 90gal with a pair of percs?I have read that you cant but yet I hear people saying yes.

Hey, just gave you a reason to set up another tank! :biggrin: |
I'm assuming your 90g is a four footer & that's not enough space to give the percs a chance to get away from the Maroons. I have a breeding pair of Ocellaris with my pair of Gold Stripes but they each take one half of a six foot tank, with their own LR structure & host anemone (although Oc. host Rhodactis shrooms). Like the others have stated already, maroons are the most aggressive clowns & getting them to co-habitate with other clowns requires luck & lots of tank space.

I dont know how these guys do it.I have seen Ocellaris,percs,maroons all in the same tank and his tank is smaller than mine.I wont mention names.
george thanks for the info |
I have 2 false percs, 2 sebae, and 1 gold stripe maroon in my 230. I got the maroon when he was very small but he is getting quite big now and is going to be getting a new home in my 190 once it has cycled. He is quite aggressive - unfortunately mostly with me when I put my hand in his end of the tank but he does take a run at the sebaes - which are huge - if they come too close to his anemone. I would not put the maroon in a smaller tank with other clowns.
