devildog1986 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 What's up guys, So I've been debating on what kind of clowns to get. I almost purchased a pair of lightning maroons. But more and more people are getting them. I've had premium Picasso clownfish before, and I'm Leaning towards them again. This time me and my wife are doing the build, so I want to make sure she likes them too. Is there any clownfish you guys would recommend, that I probably don't know about? Pics would be great so I can show the wife and she can just pick some. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I went with the Black Ice. They seem to have a good mix of black, white and orange. No pics of them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devildog1986 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Where did you get the diagram? I wanna see if I can download it to enlarge it. I like the long fin clowns, but the wife says they look gothic and EMO. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissy36 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That's so cool you brought this up! I've been thinking the same thing. I'm totally going to mooch off your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FluxCapacitor Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have a pair of black ice extreme clowns.... they're pretty cool. Not sure what else I'd rather have, I was looking at gold nugget maroon clowns for a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what else I'd rather have, I was looking at gold nugget maroon clowns for a while though. Yeah designer clowns have gone crazy, when I turned off my tanks the big thing was picasso's. I had some premium picasso's that I gave away before shutting down the tanks. The black ice are extreme. To be honest I'm looking for that "wow" factor. I had that "wow" factor with the Lightning maroons, but the wife didn't really like them. We have to meet half way lol.

JasReef Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 About a month I saw some awesome frostbite subzero clowns in San Antonio. They had so much blue on them, it was amazing. Only 200 for the pair, I should have got them, thanks for reminding me of my regret, lol. They looked kind of like this blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty_kat Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 My designer clowns- a pair of chocolate midnight (female is a chocolate domino) and a pricy pair - extreme blacker ice with blue spots. Really tough to get a good shot of them. They weren't in the mood to hold still. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to convince her to get some snowflakes or platinums as well but she said "they look albino" lol her responses crack me up. Nice pair.

devildog1986 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 We should just turn this thread into a "show me your clowns" but I can think of a bunch of memes I'd probably post to be a smart *** lol.

salty_kat Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Both of my pairs are in my 215 together and they school most of the time. It's pretty neat. I got them from Aaron at Just Reef. They are Sustainable Aquatics designers. I especially love that they weren't fished out of the ocean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Why not get three or four types? It's not very commonly done but a group of three or four can be kept together. If you are starting with juveniles you'll end up with a female and several males and/or subadults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just have to show this as I'm very excited after picking up my pair of Lightning maroons from Aaron at Just Reef. Thanks to Aquadome for helping me get the biocube set up so these guys have a dedicated tank. Thanks to Timfish for the anemone and other help. Paired male and female, they looked lost for the first three days before finding their anemone. Then mama found it, and by this morning she's even allowing the male to join her. They had been showing nesting behavior at Just Reef, so I'm hoping they're laying soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 1) How much money is ARC paying you to buy 2 lightning maroons? 2) Hold the phone sideways for video Mike! 3) I think they'd look better in a Colorado Sunburst anemone 4) Its fun harassing el jefe... congrats sir. Those are good looking fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Oh sorry, wasn't trying to knock on the anemone Tim got you. I was just teasing Mike since he used to have a Colorado Sunburst. Oops! You guys know what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are good looking fish! 1) Amazing what you can pick up at an ARC/C4 silent auction... 2) Yeah yeah, I was running out the door to work this morning and just snapped it quickly. As soon as I view it here at work I was like, Doh! 3) What clown DOESN'T look better in a Colorado Sunburst? 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
