Clownfish losing bright color..
 
hey guys,
I picked up two ocellaris clowns last week and they have been eating both mysis/brine shrimp and spectrum pellets. They stick together and are very active. However, i have noticed one of them is starting to get darker and lose its bright orange color. Ill post a pic. Its blurry but you can compare the two fish. Thanks guys

No worries, clownfish often turn a darker color as they mature.

They are about two inches each and they wont leave each others side for anything....any chance they are paired?

Yes. One in a million. (so you're saying there's a chance... :)

j/k i would say they were paired, especially if one is changing color/size at a more rapid pace than the other. that doesnt mean they will start spawning right away, but my guess from 1000 miles away with one blurry photo is YES! :)

good luck,
tim
