forgive my newbeeness/ignorance, but are those 2 different kinds of clowns? and if so, i thought it was better not to mix species? can you give me the right info, if i am wrong? (i'm almost possitive i am)
By the way, those are bautiful photographs, you must be very proud. congrats!

They are both soloman island true percs... they are just opposite ends of the color spectrum of what naturally occurs there. :)

Amazing how when it's another species you can show everything without insulting anyone..

Nice photos Jeremy....I have been trying to get a decent picture of my two ocellaris spawning but they really pack those eggs under my H. Magnifica such that the eggs are not as visible as yours.

I guess we can ask this since you are now an RC sponsor

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but I am looking for "black" (??Amphiprion ocellaris, onyx?) percs. Not sure of the specific species
I saw some that had mostly black, but an orange face, white stripes.
But someone said that the orange grows out as they grow older?

I'd prefer tank raised

I need to let my LTA recover before I re-introduce clowns to the tank, so I'm not looking for them at present

Hey Dave -

I had a pair of those. In my experience, the orange face does not comletely go away. It definitely becomes less orange... moving to a dark, creamy color... kind of non-descript. It does not become white like the other white parts of the body... FYI.

"onyx percs" is just an extra black variant of true perc.. IE the female in the pair I posted. Black ocellaris are what ORA is selling tank raised, and they do go completely black. I do not have any onyx percs, they aren't particularly common.... I doubt 1 in 5000 wild solomans percs that come in are the "onyx" variant.
