I got them today. I went to the LFS last weekend and they did not look good so decided to wait and even if they did not look that good but got them. Last week I got two other clownfish from the same LFS and they had a little sign of Brookynella Hostillis on an angel fish in the same tank and few other clownfish in the same system. I got a pair of clarkii and the first night the white spot or skin was seen. The next day male was dead. I'm still fighting Brook on the female. Two blue stripe have been dipped in Formulin and fresh water and they seem to be doing fine and eating too.

I need to put a better light on the tank to take better picture.

A little of stress is showing from the dip but they are eating good and breathing fine.

I know and will see in a few days what happens. I'm thinking about moving them to the school where I have good luck with clownfish there.

Embry: thanks and th e thing with the onyx is that they are hiding in the back corner of the darkest tank I have and I don't know why. I might put some light on the tank and see if I can take some picture.

Dan: it was nice meeting you yesterday. I had a long day back home. My car broke down few miles from Todd and had to wait hours untill a friend came down and got me a new battery and my van made it untill Bloomsburg. I don't think my battery was charging and my transmission was on the second all the way to Bloomsburg( van is still there). Right after I left the store around 1 I got home at 8pm :D ...
ezhoops.. I know the QT is really hard and actually these pair is doing great and eating good too..

So you are getting a pair then ? Even if it is ground I'm sure they pack them right. I'm sure they don't want to lose a fish and specially with the guarantee they have.
