Ok, here area few pics from the development of my guys from when I got them on May 20th.


May 25th. The little guys in there small breeder net for now.
Omen is about 0.6 inches and had already started his 2nd bar when I got him.
Runt is 0.3 inches and is just working on growing.


Early July. Omen's 2nd bar is growing larger on the top. No development on the bottom yet. His size at this point is almost 1.2", and Run has no 2nd bar development and is just over 0.65".


Runt, showing the development of his 2nd bar. His growth pattern is about a month behind that of Omen despite getting them at the same time.
His size at this point on July 28th is 1 inch.


Showing Omen on July 28th. Bar development even.


Omen at Aug 3rd.. He is developing his 3rd bar now and also is starting the black around his tail and 2nd dorsal fin. The Black is getting thicker around each of the bars and he is getting the dark underlying skin before it starts becoming the Onyx colour.
He is just over 4 months old in this pic and is 2 inches in length.


This is a pic of Mommy and Daddy Onyx.



The formulation of the black coloration on the body of the babies will start to be more prominent in another month's time when the 2nd bar on Omen begin to touch each other. It is common for the black coloration not to start in these guys until between 5-6 months and can take up to 18 months to fully finish.

Also I am waiting for my 25g to finish cycling then one of the babies will go in there. Runt with a picasso I have, and Omen will stay in my 55g, but will be free with a Wild Caught female Big Momma that I have.

Gosh.. if only they were that cheap... most Onyx go for well over a $100. Hobbyists are selling pairs on AquariumPros for $250+ and up.

Now I got my 2 babies at $50 a piece.. but they were just around half an inch each..

It will be interesting to see the price on these guys.

Keep us updated!!! depending on price I could be interested in a pair. I dont want to spend $250 on a pair but $50 each I could live with.

Will do, but i guarantee its not going to be even close to the $50 range. I wish...
Onyx's of this quality your looking at $250-300 for a pair. I havnt even seen anywhere in Canada that sells these high end clowns with full black coloration.
