Bigjohnwoody Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have decided I have to have a pair of clowns in my tank! My question for all of you is what clown's you recommend? I really like the semi snowflakes, semi picasso's,and true percula's! Recommendations on anything though is appreciated. Also what would be the best as far as hardiness? I really don't want to spend between 50-250 dollars on a mated pair and end up killing them. I will be q-ting them in a 30 gallon tank with a power filter, heater and pvc fittings at the bottom! Besides for a green chromis (that I did not qt(nono) ) these would only be my second fish ever! I just got the chromis and realize my tank needs to sit to adapt to the new load I put on it and that is why I will be waiting a good month to 6 weeks of q-ting before I add them! That and to make sure they are ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gill Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Clowns are great fish!!! They can be aggressive though, so if you plan on having a lot of less aggressive fish, like fire fish, you may want to add them later. They should definitely go in before any tangs, wrasses or other larger aggressive fish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt ask for better fish, they're healthy, he helped us out a lot when they got brookynella from my tank LOL Got em all healed up an they've been healthy as hell ever since, an on top of that, they were eating out of my hand within 2 days of getting them in the tank.

Harold B Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I was just over there last weekend he has all kinds, the best around IMO. Those two in the pic are true Grade A Picassos with lineage (parents are 2nd or 3rd generation) from the original ORA Picassos. Thats the quality he sells.

Bigjohnwoody Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 Since I live three hours south of him will he ship? Or do you guys think it would be better to wait and plan a trip and go up there in person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 John, you really should make the trip, not only does he have high quality fish, hes a super guy to deal with n everyone must see his clwnhouse at some point in their lives lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold B Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 He's got a "batch" thats just now ready and it has some excellent Picasso's in it to pick from. The one I got I picked because his markings make him look like he has a gladiators helmet on. Super sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC-k3v Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Good luck choosing. I can not... I have 7 clownfish currently and wouldn't doubt it if my collection grows.
