Good job!

I think your first picture is of an orange skunk (A. Sandaracinos) though.

I will see if one of the locals here will share his pictures of A. sebae as the one you found is not very representative of the species, not very pretty fish in that one.

Oh Vince, can you post a big version of your avatar?

I think the only difference between Amphiprion akallopisos and Amphiprion sandaracinos is that Amphiprion akallopisos is a little more of a peachish pink color compared to the orange of Amphiprion sandaracinos.

Very nice! That should be in the archives.

CeCe803 · #31 01/26/2004, 01:11 AM

Thank you! That must have taken a bit of work to locate and post all those photos. I've been looking for a good pic of A. bicinctus
:-)

ReefGeekster, I wish I was able to travel to all of the places in the world and take photos of the clowns but no. I guess in a way I did take them, off the internet that is.

Great thread!!!!

Here is my challenge now. We got great pictures of the clowns available to us for trade. How about we now create information about each particular clown.

Can we get some volunteers to pick a clown and do some basic research on it. I can then take the pictures and create a nice HTML page with the information provided (giving you full credit)

If you can find information such as how easy they are to maintain, what they eat, what anemone they like, how easy they are to rear, water temperature, origin and so on. It would be nice if you enclose a reference list.

If you can post your clown of choice here so no three people do research on the same clown. I think a single clown would be awesome but if you want to do more, that would be even better.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Post your clown selection here but send me your data via email.

Regards,

Carlos

I hope you got a OK from the original owners to use their pics. You do not want to get into copyright issue.

Great Job!

But I'm siding with John on the first pic. A. akalopsis white stripe usually does not extend all the way down to the upper lip. Although the teeth would be a better positive identifier. Akalopsis have peg-like or flat topped teeth. Sandaracinos have conical teeth.

BTW, just like other clowns, skunks have varients.
There is a pink orange skunk (A. sandaracinos) as well as an orange orange skunk (A. sandaracinos). There is also a Orange pink skunk (A. perideraion) as well as the pink pink skunk. Confused yet?

Luis A M · #36 01/27/2004, 08:49 PM

The first pic is indeed a sandaracinos.Besides the orange colour the white bar keeps wide up to the nose,while it tapers to a narrow line in akallopisos.

vgibbens · #37 01/27/2004, 11:35 PM

John, here you go. These pictures are a little out of focus and the one looked much better as my old avatar. This is my A. Sebae that I've had since April of 2003. She was the female of the pair I bought as a Clarkii pair.

Atticus · #38 01/28/2004, 12:20 AM

Excellent Thread!!!

Dlckwood · #39 01/28/2004, 12:32 AM

Well, since I have some A. leucokranos I can do a little more research on them and give you some info and pictures. You would have to give me a few days though. (school first)

Sounds like a neat idea Carlos!, and again thanx Dlckwood for starting it up by posting those pics. I will volunteer to do research on the Amphiprion akindynos and the Amphiprion melanopus. Sice all my exams are done, I will have some time to do research!

Carlos · #41 01/29/2004, 01:44 AM

Excellent,

thank you both for volunteering. Remember everbody, it does not have to be done right away. Whenever you have time, I can edit the page whenever I get new information.

Carlos

JKramer0706 · #42 01/29/2004, 10:23 PM

Boo Soccer, I wanted Akindynos! I'll go for A. Bicinctus. I've been quite successful in raising them and getting them to spawn a few times.

Trumpet12 · #43 01/30/2004, 08:11 PM

Nice pictures!

Can someone volunteer to write about a clownfish that they have not kept, if they research it and list their sources?

Carlos · #44 01/31/2004, 12:23 AM

absolutely!

Trumpet12 · #45 01/31/2004, 08:45 AM

I will volunteer to do A. ocellaris.

Trumpet12 · #46 01/31/2004, 09:50 AM

Carlos,

I cannot figure out how to attach something to the Reef Central email form, and if I just paste it in all the formatting gets messed up. It would be great if you would explain how to do attach something to the RC form, or give me your email address, so that I can send it to you through my normal email program.

Thanks, Trumpet12

Carlos · #47 02/01/2004, 09:57 PM

You can send documents and attachments to carlos@reefcentral.com
