XXX Rated!!! Naked Clownfish inside! Adults Only!!!

Reefneck · 02-19-2006, 06:13 AM

So yesterday I bought my latest additions. LFS had them mispriced and I jumped all over it. Bought a pair of these but one didn't make it home.

Store is going to replace him so I am going back today to get his partner.

HA!

Nifty. And to think we used to call those culls at the farm. It almost looks like a hybrid, ( ocellaris X periderion ) doesn't it? A nice find indeed!

Lol, Kind of expected you to see it first with the title I chose.

More spam to delete! lol

It does indeed look like the cross of ocellaris & periderion. The LFS owner said they are False percs. I know they are bred at ORA and that is where he got them.

The one that died had no stripes at all. This one has just a touch behind the gills. I liked the no stripe best but

The only one he has left I am getting today has just a wee bit more striping than the one shown above.

Sweet find. He does look cool!

It and it's new partner (Another Naked Clown) are in the fuge because I still have to catch my Gold Stripped Maroon Clown and move her out of the display tank and into my wifes tank or to the first person to buy her. If I put the streakers in with her she would kill them. Pics coming later this afternoon of the "pair" of Naked Clowns so all children go to sleep early and any sensitive persons please don't look.

**Fishfirst** · 02-19-2006, 03:16 PM

and here I almost deleted this post before even looking

jk. Heheh, clowns w/o stripes, thats just sick.

Reefneck · 02-19-2006, 07:53 PM

Got the new mate for the naked guy shown above. Going to get them a new anemone and try to introduce them before moving them to the display tank.

So if you don't like nakedness, Please don't look at this thread.

You have been warned! Naked Clownfish ahead!

**Fishfirst** · 02-20-2006, 09:05 AM

nice pics RN

Reefneck · 02-22-2006, 08:36 AM

After a nightime fishing excursion I cought the Gold Stripped Maroon while she was sleeping. Her and her anemone (GBTA) are now in my wifes reef.

I added a big RBTA and a large Green Carpet Anemone to my reef and introduced the clowns to the display tank.

Georgia Peach · 02-22-2006, 10:49 AM

now those two are just too cool!

AshleytheGreat · 02-22-2006, 11:18 AM

I saw a couple of those at my LFS, i was wondering what the deal was. They are so0o0o adorable!

Reefneck · 02-22-2006, 02:46 PM

Can you guys still see the pics or is it just an advertisement for that other site? If the pics are not shoing I will edit my post and remove those ads.

Reefneck · 02-22-2006, 07:22 PM

Added some new friends to the reef today adding some much needed color to the tank.

**Baby_Baby** · 02-22-2006, 07:27 PM

ya know, I'm really dissapointed in you guys espescially the mods. I thought u would have deleted this by now. I can't believe you've let this profanity go thorugh the forums.
I'm taking this up with Shaggy. You're all banned.
lol
nice new fish btw =)

Reefneck · 02-27-2006, 05:59 AM

I love these little naked guys so much I have ordered another pair.

This time, I am going to get them totally nude! (No Stripes at all).

May be a few weeks before my guy can find the exact ones I want. The last ones were supposed to be totally naked but had a loincloth at least.

I am very surprised that noone has commented on my other new additions. Especially the Cleaner Wrasse. It seems this is a very controversial fish. Some say don't buy them because they should not be taken from the reefs. Others say they won't live long in captivity because they won't eat. Mine eats something, Not sure what but I've seen him poop. I feed Mysis shrimp, Brine, Pellets (2 types) and silversides to my anemones. I see the Wrasse picking at the rocks and even at parasites he finds on fish. (His real job).

When my wife refers to him she says "Your Wrasse". Say it to yourself and you will see why I have to laugh at her when she does that.

**Fishfirst** · 02-27-2006, 09:10 AM

It is indeed a very controversial fish. I'd say if you don't have luck with this one, don't get another. The more power to you if you can keep this one alive for quite a while say 4-5 years. Although cleaner wrasses can pester fish to death with their cleaning efforts, and fish particularly not ones that associate with them (not in their geographic distribution) are often very stressed out by their behavior.
