I thought I would start out with a bang!

I picked these three guys up from my LFS about two weeks ago. I had been looking for Latezonatus clowns for some time and got lucky and hit the jackpot.

They have been in QT from day one and I am treating them with Copper, Formalin, and Nitrofurazone and have seen zero signs of disease. They have eaten everything that I have put in the tank from day one including medicated flake food. I am keeping the QT tank temp. around 76 and I am in the process of lowering the temp in the main tank to match.
I would love to find some of these http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... highlight= to go along with them but it seems like all of you are snatching them up as they come in

We're gonna have to wait until they mature a bit, but I hate to bring you the potential bad news: these may be A.chrysogaster and not latezonatus.

Edit: Nevermind. I'm much more convinced it's just juvenile latezonatus. I can make out the white margins on the caudal fins in some pics.

Yes, definitely keep us updated on these! They're gorgeous! Also, I'd be curious to know what kind of temperament they develop.. .good luck with them!

Len, I think he'd be more stoked if they were gasters.

Awesome little trio you got there. Baby latez are definitely hard to find. They look great!

Not complaining about what I do have but you're right about the Gasters. Getting those by accident would have been pretty cool.

Just to let everyone know, all three are still doing great. I am going to putting them in the main display within the coming week but I have to remove a killer leopard wrasse before I can place them in the main tank.

The Latz babies went into the main display a little over a week ago and are all doing well. They appeared to be forming a group in QT but have all went their seperate ways in the main tank.
One is hosting in a green carpet, one is hosting in a big Corallimorphidae, and another is hosting in a GBTA.

My LFS also got in four more Latz yesterday so I picked up another pair.

I am starting to wonder if someone is CB these guys in AUS because I have never seen so many Juv. Latz avail. in such a short period of time. They are also accimilating to the captivity very fast and both groups started eating within minutes of introduction to their QT tank.

Man would I love to find these in The sunshine state.

You will. My LFS is planning on getting more tomorrow. Looks like its that time of year again for the Latz influx.
Are you familiar with Fish & Other Ichthy Stuff in Oldsmar, Fl near Tampa?
