    Hello from Marlin

    I have 1 Black and white ocellaris. Waiting to get the other . I have had a bad track record with Clowns but happy to say since i got rid of the Damsels and eleminated my stray voltage this one has lived. The kids have named it marlin.
    I bought him @ Petco for 30.00
    Had marilyn for 3 months
    I feed him a mix of Mysis and pelets mixed with garlic and minerals.
    I would like it to host with my awsome Bright red rose tip but has not done it yet.

    black percs

    I have a mated pair of black perculas. Had them 3.5 years.. they starting having babies about 6 months ago, and now lay eggs every 3 weeks or so. They host a huge cluster of green tipped hammer and pink tipped hammer. I inherited them with the tank, two 30 lb rocks, and a 400 watt metal halide from afriend who was getting out of the hobby.. hehe

    I have a pair of Gold Maroon clowns. I got them for my Blue Carpet but they have not found the anemone yet despite repeated attempts. They seem to like my bubble coral

    I had a mean false perc. Paid $30 kept it for 1 1/2 years. Sold for $15. It bit, so I suppose its favorite food was me.

    Now I have a Clarkii that we got for $17. Had it for about a week. Loves brine shrimp.

    Here are some info on my old clown fishes:

    What kind is it?
    False Percs

    How much did it cost?

    $9 when I first got them

    How long have you had it?
    1 year until I had to give it away

    Is there any thing unique about it?
    My little one hosted an external UV Sterilizer, it squeezed into the tiny back opening and you can see him through the glass. Super cute and super awesome.

    What’s its favorite food?
    Mysis

    What’s its least favorite food?

    Pellets

    Does it host anything? If so, what?

    The little one hosted the UV Sterilizer, the others hosted plastic plants or nothing

    And if you have a pic, it would be nice to post it.

    wish i had taken pictures :(
