Nano Clowns?

[8pixel]

Has anyone seen the "nano" clownfish at Absolutely Fish? Unsure if there is such a thing and I'm wondering if they are just juvenile clowns.

Most clownfish you will find in nano tanks are percs, ocellaris, and the genetic defects of them. A good switch are the orange or pink skunk clownfish.

They are just babies most will outgrow a 8 - 10 gallon nano in a year or two.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. Was just wondering since it would be cool if they stayed tiny like that.

Most clowns live in a natural environment where they don't go much further than 10" from their host, so, tank size is likely not important to them.

I have 3 sets in nano's around my house - one set in a 24g aquapod and 2 sets in 16g acrylic nano's. I have a 4th pair from an old friend in a 34g solana (gold striped maroons) but are much larger fish (5" for the female).

I would guess they are marketing and using the whole "nano" angle.
