Perhaps... but at least he is an accurate nerd - unlike some of us! That should teach me to not post biospeak on my way out the door... (laugh)

Busted! No worries Doran, I realized I messed that up after I posted it but haven't had a chance to go back and fix it until now. You beat me to it

(laugh)(laugh)(laugh) With a title like that, of course I had to check it out! Looks real nice Mark - glad you got it home safely. Can't wait to see some pics of it up an running! Congrats!

Thanks Miles! Sounds perfect. I pm'd coralreef on this.

Yeah - that was the original presumption just based on size alone but it looks like he agrees with that assessment at this point! Interesting as I didn't know there was any sexual dimorphism in the clowns... then again, I haven't had that many.

Very cool! I hope I can make that... Thanks for setting this up!

Thanks Ricky - definitely pink skunks though. Actually... I think I found the answer here: The Pink Skunk Clownfish are the very few species which can be definitively sexed by colour alone. Mature males show a fine orange rim around the tail which is absent in the females. Guess I should have looked a little harder before posting DOH! Sounds like this guy is just "growing up"

Seriously? This might be a starfire tank!! I don't need it (by any stretch) but for that price? Oh man... temptation! (and a bump)

Hey Shawn, I would be interested in this if you were willing to ship it up to PDX or planning on coming up again sometime. Brand/model info would be appreciated. Thanks! Sean

I have three pink skunk clowns I got from Garrett a few weeks ago and just noticed that the medium sized one (presumed male) has developed orange highlights on the very edge of his dorsal fin and tail (sorry, don't think I can get a pick). I swear it wasn't there before... wondering what is up with that (scratch).

Thought I would chime and and add my thanks to Curtis for the sweet frags... they are settling in right now. It was nice to meet you and Shaun. Hope you guys had a safe trip back. Sean

That is one sweet build Joel! If I am ever in a position to do a build to order I will definitely be talking to you... I love what you did with this one (rock2)

I like the double qualifier (post count + paying member) as well, with a post count somewhere between the 100 and 1500 (lets see, where am I at ). I realize this may not work as a "keep Ryan a Whale solution" but hey, you can't have everything right

Hi Shannon, I pm'd you about tomorrow... Thanks - Sean

(laugh)(laugh)(laugh) Yeah, that always has to be part of the equation. BTW - Do you know Rod Beckner the Saab guy? I just noticed you are down in Jefferson.

Thanks for the test results everybody. I will pick some up on my next trip to the store and give it a try.

Wow... how did you score those before MrGreenThumb got to them? Can't wait to see the pics - probably the closest I will get to seeing a piece!

Wow! That is sweet! (drooler)

Hey Shane and Mike - that is looking really sharp! Nice job with the tank and the cabinet and good luck with your own projects.

That is a very generous offer Doran. I am not a teacher but appreciate the fact that people are stepping up to help them out with this program in what are difficult times for many. It's great to have folks like yourself on this board!

Ricky, have you ever tried feeding the rainsfords (or hectors) cyclopeeze or anything like that? Just wondering what Jason might try to help encourage him to eat frozen just in case there isn't enough natural food in the tank. Sean

I don't know... maybe after a certain number of posts the rest of the forum get to pick your avatar for you - now that could be entertaining! Some user control over the naming would be a nice perk for the long time members though... I don't want Ryan to be permanently scarred by the whale thing.

Uh oh... little did I know my innocent tassel question would lead to this! Funny though, my first thought when I saw it was high-school graduation - yikes!
