The GCR bred onyx clowns

I LOVE THEM!!!!

Ok wow what an experience.

I spent about 30 min picking them out, but I was actually at the store picking them out this past weekend, got one of the same ones as that time. Anyways thanks to the amazing help from Michael we I got them home in record time and with his little clear fish hanger thingy to acclimate them with inside the tank. I took 4 hours to acclimate them inside my tank (some of which I was feeding them and they were piggin out!!) and then put a screen over the container and placed it inside my tank so the fish would be use to them first, I was planning on it being like this for a few days. WELL these little suckers bolted out of the clear container the second I opened a small corner to feed them. Long story short I couldnt find them and after class today lets just say the sump was full of coral and 80% of the LR were in buckets of sw. Found the fish happy as could be, got them in the container, and set up a new tank for them with 100% sw from my tank, and some LR. They are now happy as can be swimming around the ENTIRE 10g tank!!! Even coming up to me when I walk up to the tank!

stock 10g tank including hood and hob filter. gonna make a fixture for it.

The 2 fish I picked are special to me, one of them has only a tiny white spot on his head and the other has black fins, both very unique!

Sorry for the pic quality, its an old point and shoot and no flash so they dont get startled
ILL SHUT UP, PICS!!! MORE PICS TOMORROW!!

Not only are they eating what you gave me, but some phyto- and even crushed up marine pellets, they are PIGS!

We feed them usually 3 times a day so they are always ready for some food, just watch the water quality in that new sweet little tank you setup for them b/c they poop as much as they eat.

AT GC Reef, we doing water changes on the babies EVERY SINGLE DAY to ensure high quality of water for them to grow in.

Thanks for sharing pics Jarob. Very cool.

Glad your new clowns are doing well!

You should start a thread and take a new picture every now and then as they color up. I'm getting excited for my pair but it's still 3-4 months away. The thread would let me live vicariously through you. O.o;

NEW PICTURES!!

I absolutely LOVE these fish, they have SO much personality already and will even eat my New Life Spectrum pellets!

I love the banding pattern on the little guy!

Thought I would add my pics here for feedback on the clowns. I picked up my pair at the January meeting hosted by GCReef.

Thanks guys!

Holding tank: (8 gal BioCube)




Introduction to main display: (144 half circle)







Note: I may have added them to the main display a little premature but felt the need to do so since my nano has not been keeping stable parameters. The plastic container is there to provide a break in the flow. They keep going into it to rest. LOL.
