He's still a baby, they don't get the full black coloration until they are big. Plus, the the parents are onyx. And thanks. He's getting a mate hopefully within a week or so.

since they look so much like perc's how do you tell if they are onyx?
I would want to make sure that I wasn't buying perculas instead. Are these tank raised or wild caught?

Thanks Genin.
They are tank bred. the guy I bought em from is how I know they are onyx. Other than that I'm not sure. Unless you have seen the parents. Sorry.

that is good you have someone you can trust. I have only known my LFS to carry true percs and false percs. I have only seen the onxy here on RC. Thanks

Hi guys! Those are one of my babies. Parents are WC onyx. While there is never a guarantee that the babies will look like their parents, I have some that are developing nicely. They are still young at 6 months or so.
Best, Ilham |

Baby Onyx usually have much more black on them at that age. Here are some Onyn babies at about 1 inches:
All five are completely Onyx at this time. Some how, having experience how these fish developed I don't think your will turn Onyx. He is still a very nice Percula

Orion - that is usually the way mine have looked before the third bar appears - I didn't know if it was just due to the pairs I am working with or what. I do know that onyx parents do not always mean full onyx offspring (i.e. fully black dorsal fins, etc.). But I can't think of any onyx that I have run across that started out as full orange at the onset of the third bar. Guess time will tell!

Edwing - please keep us posted on the color development. It would be great to document for the reef community! Thanks!

These are from WC Onyx true perculas. I am hoping they will get darker. Otherwise, I may have to start forming new pairs! Best, ilham |

I was told that the Onyx gene in Rod's Onyx is a recessive trait. I think that is one or the reason why Rod's Onyx breed true. Rod said that his pair's offspring are 98% of the time developed to true Onyx.
I got some babies Percula breed from Rod's baby and a wild caught Onyx. They look very promising at this time but only 6 months old. They are not for sale in case anybody want to know. I only have 15 and it more like an experiment to see how they turn out. Here is a picture of one of them. The color start to connect the three bars at this time. The guys are about 6-7 months old.

He(Elmo18) might ship, you'll have to ask him. They are very peaceful and stays close to his anemone all the time.
