slappers Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 what are the chances off getting a pair off theses or a pair of maroon clowns anyone seen theses around ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Your best bet will be to order them, you may have to wait 2 or 3 months but no reason why an importer cannot bring them in for you. Just one thing about maroons, when they get big they will defend a fairly large territory, can be a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeh1 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 yip i heard the same about the maroon clowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifty Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 I have a pair of maroon clowns and my bro has a pair of black clowns. The black clowns are far more territorial than the maroons i have. When I had an emperor angel the clowns were very aggressive towards it but since its gone they aren't aggressive to anyone in the tank. I have also been nipped by my maroons but again only when the emperor was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 along time ago I had a pair of maroons. But they got to territorial they started to bite corals They had to go very aggressive I was scared to put my hand in the tank. And then when I went to removed them I had to pull the whole tank apart. No fun . Partly my fault at the time I didn't realize how big they got so the tank was smaller than they really needed. If I was them I would bite me to. Reef rule 101 read about the fish before you buy them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 black percs would be called onyx and still have a little orange on them the completly black with white stripes are black occellaris, i've had my eye out for a year now but no luck. the black clowns that most people have will be black saddle back clowns (polymnus) they are alot bigger than percs and more territorial. shouldnt be hard to get a pair of marrons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 one other thing, maroons are very fussy about the anemone's they are hosted by usually only going for BTA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
