Pies Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have added some new fish to my sump, blue striped clowns. They look like Clarkii but the stripe has a blue sheen to it, very cool. What I want to know is if the female (small one) is the same type of clown. It looks the same, but has a 3rd stripe near is tail. Now I know some change with age and sex. Anyone got any info for me on these fish? Thanks Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelers Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Is it one of these??? Amphiprion chrysopterus There isnt much info on them. A good list of some of the clownfish species http://www.wetwebmedia.com/clownfis.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I don't think so, they are yelowers, without the darkness. I will try and snap some pics in the next few days. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petplanet Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 What I want to know is if the female (small one) is the same type of clown. Won't the larger of the two be a female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misnoma Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Not like these Pies? (Amphiprion Bicinctus) I just got a couple, they're awesome looking, especially the subtle blue in the white bands. Edit: except that mine have three bands, one right before the tail.
