Ben A January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 (edited) Wanted to post a PORTION of my clownfish collection and give a shout out to MattiJay (Operation Reef Ready), ERC (Exotic Reef Creations), and BRK (Blue Ribbon Koi) for all the help in collecting these unbelievable clownfish. All photos were taken with an Iphone, so excuse them please. My S&R Lightning maroon clownfish is currently paired with a S&R Morse Code (Not Pictured). The Morse Code hides alot so I have not been able to get a good picture of him yet. Thanks to ERC for helping me get both of these fish. Next is my pair of Bali Aquarich P1 Onyx Picassos. The pair, as well as the red carpet anenome in the photos, were purchased form MattiJay. Next is my Bali Aquarich Goldflake Maroon, new addition to my collection and one I hope to be pairing with a mate in the near future. Bought from MattiJay. Finally is my pride and joy. My ORA Gold Nugget paired with a Fisheye Super Gold Rush Maroon. The Gold Rush is one of the best goldflake maroon clowns I have seen. The pattern is unbelievable. The Gold Nugget may be my favorite clown to date, now that she is starting to really turn gold, its hard to beat her coloration. Thank you to MattiJay for helping me secure the Fisheye Gold Rush and to BRK for the amazing Gold Nugget Maroon. The purple LTA was purchased form BRK, and has color that makes me wish I had an actual camera. Edited January 25, 2015 by Ben A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben A January 26, 2015 Author Share January 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I can't recommend MattiJay, ERC and BRK enough if you want high quality clownfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueTricia January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 Nice clowns! How are your maroons once their mated? Do you see a change in agression levels? I have a WSM female that used to be agressive but has toned down a lot as of late. I've been considering getting her a mate and/or BTA, but I'm concerned with how it will affect her agression. What has your experience been with your maroons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2nhle January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 Thank you for sharing. Did you put all these clowns in one tank or different tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has your experience been with your maroons? Maroons can be a nightmare to pair. My Gold nugget has paired twice without much problem. My lightning killed 3 males before she paired, at least I hope they have finally paired. Once they have paired, the female becomes much more aggressive then when she is alone. Adding an anemone will also increase her aggression. The nice thing about pairing and adding an anemone is that their swimming territory seems to decrease to the immediate area around the anemone.

Ben A January 26, 2015 Author Share January 26, 2015 Thank you for sharing. Did you put all these clowns in one tank or different tanks? You never want to keep more than 1 pair of maroons in a tank. I wouldn't put them in with another species either. They are very aggressive towards other clowns. All my clown pairs have their own tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She killed several fish years ago when I introduced them. Then she got bullied and is actually calmer now. I don't want to ruin that. They are all definitely beautiful clowns. Congrats! !!

Ben A January 26, 2015 Author Share January 26, 2015 Most are not old enough to breed, but I plan to yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
