wo ah ah aow. wow. My friend just got into reefing and he said he'd like to go back to school to become a marine biologist but he doesnt know bout starting so late in life..I'm sure raising his on fry will leave him satisfied. Good luck Nicole!

That's soooo awesome! I wish my Percs would do that. How long have you had them before they began spawning? Did you buy them together as a pair or just as 2 fish?

Haven't posted here in forever. Unfortunately a sad day, I came home from work to find my female had somehow managed to get stuck between my canopy and the overflow mesh cover. my male has eaten their latest batch of eggs and is looking for her. I have had the pair for over 6 years. I am looking to replace her, even though I know it will not be that simple. If any vendors or members have a female available, please let me know. Thanks in advance, sorry just had to vent.

Sorry for you lose, what a shame.
I think you may be better off looking for a male that is smaller than yours. Your male will start to change into a female at some point (I am assuming that skunks change sex like other clowns that I know of)

 

[masterswimmer]

Nicole, so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm guessing I had the pleasure of meeting this pair. Best of luck replacing it. Definitely look to get yourself a tiny one that hasn't morphed into a female yet.

I bet Dom can help you out

Rookie & Russ
The loss definetly sucks. Russ you did see them, they were one of the main reasons for my upgrade a while back (still see one in the near future I hope)!

Dom where are you, I need a new fish /
