    thanks everyone.

    I had two very small clowns before, less than an inch. I lost them due to a long power outage. I am better prepared now though. i couldn't get any pics b/c they are constantly moving but i am uploading a video of them in the tank while i type.

    they aren't a pair yet, but that is why i choose one that is a bit smaller than the other. hopefully they will pair up.

    the lighter colored one is a regular occ the darker one is a mis-bar, with a lot of black one it. I really like the pattern.
    I don't think the darkness has to do with sex. They guy i bought them from said that the lighter one should get more black on it and darken as it grows.(according to the environment)

    video coming soon

    Heres the video. i know it's a bit dark, but i don't have tank lights yet, i should be getting them tomorrow actually.
    Check out how the gramma reacts when they get too close to his spot.
    I hope they don't start biting the hand that feeds them. :p

    just an update, the clowns are doing great. they are out in front of the tank all the time.
    they haven't eaten yet though. they tried some food then spit it out. i guess i'll just give them a little more time.

    Yep..they'll eat, no worries. Mine didn't eat the first day I had them but the next day they were starving and went crazy for food :)
