Same here, my male never got his 3rd stripe but he still looks awesome!

My female does not have the 3rd stripe either, I knew it when I bought it... I like that and would think it would be cool to breed the stripe out totally... Honestly I like mis barred clowns, I think it makes them unique. I think Rods clowns seem to produce a fair amount with different patterns and I think it is one of the things that makes them so attractive.

What is weird about mine is the black changes.. I think sometimes it is based on food or lighting... I know some people feel a bta or even the background on the tank makes them change colors too. Mine seemed to lighten up when they started laying eggs...

I got to met Rod at MACNA he was there with a ton of his food.

My fish are doing well.

Wow, these are nice clowns. Such consistency in coloring. Anyone know if these are available or when they will become available again?

I just started using the food and everything does go crazy in the tank. I saw hermits and snails come out of the rockwork that I didn't know were still alive.

i saw rod last week and he said he has 600 clowns ready for sale

I'll check out his site. So, these are $40 each with $60 s/h/i. About $180 a pair?

.edit. Oops, excused my math, that's $140/pair shipped.

i paid 158 shipped for my pair, 50 for each clown and 58 for priority overnight fedex. he has new pricing he charges 50 for clowns that have more color. but the 40 dollar ones really have just as much chance of developing full color as do the 50 the 50 dollar ones might just be older.

Ok I posted in this thread a LONG time ago saying my onyx is not coloring up. well now it starting to change little by little. So hopefully it gets the full color its been a year since I had it.

craftytony · #**835** 10/02/2007, 12:28 PM

Good luck!

Mine has colored up VERY nicely...i think some just take longer than others

GSMguy · #**836** 10/02/2007, 12:30 PM

mine are still coloring up.

Jovreefer · #**837** 10/03/2007, 08:02 PM

My newest one I got was from his left over's that had very little color. Its really coloring up pretty quick in my tank.. now if only I could get 2 of my stupid clowns to pair up!

Jovreefer · #**838** 10/04/2007, 09:46 PM

Here is the newest one coloring up

mdrumm · #**839** 10/04/2007, 11:23 PM

I got him first week in May. He is from the leftover "slow to color" group sara posted on page 28 in this thread. I THINK he is the one on the very bottom of that pucture

There are a few pictures on page 29 of him the week I got him.

He's 1 year this month

RoscoPColtrane · #**842** 10/10/2007, 03:08 PM

for those of you that have ordered rod's clowns, did you QT? We know they are coming from a reliable source. I just have concerns about keeping high water quality in my 10gallon qt tank. I would probably plan to change out 10%/week with my reef tank water. any thoughts would be appreciated...

GSMguy · #**843** 10/10/2007, 03:44 PM

i dont think youll have any problems most people do not QT them.

ktar · #**844** 10/10/2007, 07:55 PM

i just got my pair of onyx clown fish and they are awesome i love them. Rod is a highly recommended if you are looking for nice healthy onyx clown fish.
