I bought the pair off a lady on this board last year when she was taking her tank down, she told me they were captive bred and she got them from JL. I'm not 100% certain, but I took her word for it.

haha I'm looking, I'm looking. I feel like I have a certain loyalty to my clowns now, I can't just add another fish in their without consulting with them. And they can't talk, so I'm stuck with just the two of them right now.

Weird... because I also had captive bred clowns, and they were also very territorial (more so the female) .. and so are yours.

I wonder if there's any kind of study or something to see if captive bred clowns are more territorial than wild caught?? It seems that way....


*PS: I think your clowns might like a firefish or a goby of some sort... they're always cool fish to add (IMO)

I love gobies, but I have a bare bottom tank and only frags right now. Is that suitable for clown gobies?

I don't think clown gobies are sand dwellers. Please correct me if I'm wrong though!

There's lots and lots of kinds of gobies... browse around Live Aquaria. (www.liveaquaria.com)

You might find one you really like! (clown gobies are really cool though)

I have an CB ocellaris pair with a GBTA in my 37g and a pair of tomato clowns (unknown if CB or WC) with an RBTA in my 67g. Neither pair of clowns has fish as tankmates. I would not introduce other fish into my 37g because of bioload concerns. And because of the ferocious nature of the tomatoes, at least toward each other and to me, I would not introduce fish into their tank.

Great story, needed a good luagh today and am not suprised as I have read stories of clown fish chasing divers away from there anemones, they are small fish with big attitudes.
