+Melissa Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I am looking to trade my Tomato clown for another clown. I have two little ones that are happily dancing around and this guy doesn't like seeing them happy looking to trade for any of the following, Black, Clarkii, Ocellaris, Percula (true or false), saddleback Thank you! Other fish trades also welcome. (must be able to live happy in 40 gallon for at least a year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Maroons and Tomatoes are probably going to have the same issue as your cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) hmm... then cross them off. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that. I know this is a dumb question, but is there a specific type that's just always happy go lucky? My two little guys are, but I wasn't sure if it was a normal behavior or just because they are babies.

JamesL Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 In my experience, most Ocellaris and Percula clowns tend to stay "happy". Seems like a lot of the other clowns get meaner as they grow bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmanning Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Saddleback clownfish are the most peaceful I ever seen...I've got a pair and don't bother anyone...IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm pretty sure that is a tomato clown. Cinnamons have almost yellow tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Melissa Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm sorry guys, my husband even said, "Thats a tomato dork". The one I want to trade is the one on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Here's a pic of our saddleback clownfish. Female: Male: Wow they are so pretty! I just adore clowns, and when I see so many more kinds, I just fall in love again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Wow they are so pretty! I just adore clowns, and when I see so many more kinds, I just fall in love again. Thanks...may I make another suggestion?....The pink skunk clownfish are also very passive, IMO, and they get along well with other inhabitants. I use to have a pair...but my husband preferred the saddlebacks over the pinks (men and the color of pink?---well he doesn't like pink much at all...LOL). This is an older pic. -Cindy- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Awwww. I think its adorable. I like the skunk stripe a lot! Hehe. the person in the cube next to me just asked why I went "awwww!".... Had to explain it was a cute fish pic. Does anyone else get funny reactions to your fishkeeping?

cmanning Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Here at home....I get a lot of that...when I'm reading something funny that's a 20 post thread...I just LOL!!! Automatically my husband asks "Cindy, What's so funny"....I usually say "Nothing".....I'm not about to read all the post so he'll get the joke or funny comments others post. Or I just tell him..."get over here and read this." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am willing to trade him for something else too. He just murdered my new lettuce slug. He needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 How big is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 He's about three inches. He's mocking me and rubbing his butt on the sand as I type. Victory dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't really have any thing to trad for him but if you don't want him any more I can put him with my other clown that I have in his own tank? I have sume mushrooms that I could frag, purple and red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Melissa Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't really have any thing to trad for him but if you don't want him any more I can put him with my other clown that I have in his own tank? I have sume mushrooms that I could frag, purple and red. I will let you know. Thank you He can't do any more damage at the moment. The cowfish is gone, and the slug is dead. I won't add anything to the tank until he's gone. But I still want him to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Melissa Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I haven't been this mad at a fish since my Mbuna I rescued turned Charlie Manson on me. That was the first fish I wanted to throw in the street to make the neighbors question what they saw... lol. But I have a hard time killing anything that isn't sick and dying, so I'm stuck. Maybe I will take a permanent marker and color him so he looks like a black clown. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
