    I just wanted to know about everybody’s clowns.
    What kind is it?
    How much did it cost?
    How long have you had it?
    Is there any thing unique about it?
    What’s its favorite food?
    What’s its least favorite food?
    Dose it host anything? If so, what?
    And if you have a pic, it would be nice to post it.

    I’ll start.

    I have two ocellaris clowns. They don't host anything but each other... I can't remember when I got them. I think I paid $35 for the pair.

    I have a regular Perc, and a Black Perc that have been married for about 1 1/2 years...they are interesting because I guess regular percs don't mate with black percs....they host a HUGE Green BTA, and eat anything that they can...i believe their favorite is probably mysis shrimp tho :) The black one was $30 the regular was $16 ;D

    LOL I know everyone says my clown hosted my nem!...etc. but it's the nem hosting the clown. The clown's are the guests. Just one of those things that gets to me after a bit, like ppl spelling 'Rogue' 'rouge' on WoW all the time. LOL don't take it personal, just havin fun. :)

    Here is my pair.... Not mated by any means.

    Had my darker one about 2 years now. Lighter about 2 months.

    Paid about 22 a piece... a good guestimation anyhows.

    My older one hosts my GSP and my Toadstool. Loves to host nems, but lost that in my heater disaster.
    Little one is not hosting yet.

    I have a pair of black and whites iv had for little over a month now, still just babies. Think i paid like $69 for them as a pair. Nothing hosts them yet so they jus chill on the front glass.

    Mine did that for a long time. Then the tried the hairy mushrooms for a bit. After that the female started a nest on a flat rock above a featherduster. I covered the flat spot with a frag so they sleep not in but under the duster or in between it and a toadstool.
