Nice ehh? :goldfish2

I google'd my eyes out and could only find 2 articles where similar traits were possessed in maroon clowns.

I was talking to the guys from ORA at MACNA and they said stuff like this happens all the time. It is cool tho IMO.

 

[D1J8Z]

the traits shown are actually a ocellaris or percula mixed with a maroon clown at least that is what it looks like to me.

-I'd like to see if it would pair up with a gold stripe maroon and hopefully be able to breed them in the future, but I probably need to have a chat with sanjay about that first.

-I've found postings of an ORA "jigsaw" maroon but it seems like the last that people were talking about them was in 2006. If the ORA guys would talk about it online then a lot more questions could be answered. I know it's common for maroons to be misbarred but this is far from it.

Mc

I've seen these "variations" at Petco...$16.99

 

[DontXtripNfall]

-So if they really are sold at Petco then how come no one posts about it?

+1 So have I. If you go into a Petco they usually have a tank with about 20-30 Maroon Clown, which are usually beaten the sh*t out of each other. You'll see many of the same variations in the clowns that your has. Some have extra lines others are missing lines while other have crazy line pattern.

tank bred ones are more likely to have these variations than the wild caught.

 

[marrone]

If I'm not mistaken the once that Petco has are tank bred, I think they're ORA but I many be wrong.

+1, not to mention when it takes over the tank, and won't allow you to add ANY other fish.:tongue1:

Double that! My big old maroon clown is now is completely battle scarred (presumably from duking it out with my yellow tang, whose fin shapes vary from week to week....) and aside from a small lubbock's wrasse that can stay out of its way, there are no other fish in the tank....doubt I can add any more while its still around....and it looks like it will live forever. At least it stopped attacking my hand every time I cleaned the tank.....

 

[DontXtripNfall]

-Well hopefully it gets a little more aggressive because it's not standing up to the anthias and they like to split it's fins for fun :smash:

Great looking maroon Julian!

Love to see more variations!

 

[mcnuggget]

i've seen them for 19.95, forgot where

Can someone tell me how price and quality come into play here? If you all remember when I owned NaCl-H2O, I used to sell tricolor acros for 10.00 a piece, did that in anyway lower the quality of the frag? Sorry,just my rant.

Still a great looking specimen julian regardless of where you got it and how much you spent.
