Well I think it's been about 6-7 weeks since I purchased them. And just wanted to show the progress they've had with their stripes. My goal when picking them, was for them to have all 3 FULL stripes, I'm not into the mis-barred clowns. Even though I would love them the same:D .
Here's a side view of my onyx (about 7 weeks ago)....the clown at the top of the pic is the larger one (dominant of the 2, future or current female) it was about an 1" in length with no visible 3rd white stripe. The smaller one was at the most 3/4" big with a start of the 3rd white stripe easily visible.

Now this is a picture taken yesterday of the clowns....Female on top is about 1 3/8" and is starting to show a speck of the third stripe yesterday and is NOW showing a speck of the stripe on both sides at the very top of the stripe. As for the smaller clown (male), it has it's 3rd stripe completely showing on 1 side and about 90% on the other side and is about an inch in size.

Only thing I'm not completely happy about is that my male does not look as healthy as the female. They both are eating well but the female definetly eats a lot more and looks VERY healthy. I'd like to get the male a little thicker, I'm not saying he is very skinny but my female looks like a VERY healthy fish.
