    Well it's been a couple of months since my massive battle with ich cost me 7 fish and a few hundred bucks, but hey my cleanup crew is all fat and happy!

    One of the LFS I frequent just got in a big shipment of 40 mating and sexed pairs of gold striped clowns and it's eating at me to go pickup a pair, $75/pair sound reasonable to you guys?

    That and I've never had non-perc clowns anything special I should know?

    Sounds like a fair price to me.

    Fair price, but mated maroons won't tolerate new additions very well. These probably shouldn't be the first fish back in the tank. These are the "most aggressive" clowns as stated by most, but my experience with my maroon clown has been very good with new additions, but it's a single clown, as I keep an ocellaris with him. He's never bothered any of the new additions and only gets a little aggressive around feeding time. He doesn't have an anemone though, so I'm not sure how that affects his behaviour either.GL! These are my favorite clowns btw :)

    well I'm thinking a pair of these guys and a second tang will finish my tank out with the exception of more corals later down the road, I have a yellow tang in my 58g that I'll catch one of these days and move to my 90, been trying but my rocks are all literally stuck together with corals and I dont want to tear it down to get her out

    The gold stripes are variants of maroons though huh? I wasnt sure I was thinking they were closer to cinammons but for all I know those are maroons to lol

    All I've ever had are true percs and aussie black and whites

    Ok, well you'll be able to add a tang after I'm sure, so I would go for it. Cinnamon clowns are supposedly not that nice either :p
