oama question about ORA

I was at the store in Rockledge named The Fish Store, and they had some tanks with your logos on it. I was just curious if these dwarf/stubby clowns are going to be sold? I think they look pretty neat. Another quick question I saw those hybrid gobies. Are they cleaners? Thanks

Humm... If you were a sponsor of RC then you could have your own forum for questions like this one.

Another question for you oama. I bought a very young gold-striped maroon clown from petco last year. We corresponded on this forum as I was unsure whether it was a gold-stripe or normal maroon clown. You assured me that gold-stripes turn gold after about a year or so. Well I'm glad to say that the stripes have turned gold, and she looks wonderful.

I do have a question about the spines on their cheeks. I don't notice any on my gsm. Are the cheek spines something that develops later on?

Thanks, I love the gsm. It is a misbar with a large (now gold) spot between the mid and tail bar.

Speaking of stubbies.
Whats the probabilty of the offspring from a pair of stubbies being stubbies as well?

I have two very nice looking ocellaris stubbies Ive raised and was just wondering if I should bother trying to breed that trait

What do these stubbies look like?
Can someone post a pic of the stubbies?

From oama's gallery

There's a few more in there, but you get the idea.

Keep trying

As to offspring. I have not done any hard counting/experiments, but do seem to have a higher occurance of stubbies from a spawning stubbie pair. But the vast majority of the offspring are normal.

I just dont have an LFS that can/will order it. I have even tried some of the big places like Live Aquaria and a couple others. I guess it was destined that I am not to have stubbys...they are kapu to me.

They look like strange but neat.
