Are there any nice clown fish out there?

[doubleshot00]

Does anyone know of a species of clown fish that are nice? Or are older clowns just mean? I have a I ocallaris that has gone rogue. But my fam loves clowns. I do not. They really like the black storm clowns.

In looks, there’s plenty but in behaviour there’s not many. The skunk complex seems to be the nicest out there though.

I’ll second skunks are suppose to be nicest - haven’t had one though.
Occy and percula are hit or miss, wild type and white morphs tend to be best behaved. My male is harmless, only luxo is the evil one.

I’m not a fan of designer Clowns. Typical Ocellaris and Percula get boring. I would say try something in the Skunk complex, and my hope is to have a pair of Latz (Wide-Banded) if the guy here in Thailand can get a pair to breed and raise the eggs.

Latz Clowns are like no other. Definitely going to be one of showpiece fish if I can get a CB pair.

The Latz are stunning clowns, if I could then I’d love an Omani pair now Oman is open. Do you know if the Latz is calmer than an Omani?

Clowns are cute, they are funny, they are fun to watch, but yes they are little buggers that can be just territorial and nasty.

my little male mocha is just about the meanest SOB I have ever kept, I used to have a Jack Dempsey Cichlid (FW fish sue me) that would literally try to take my hand off every time i fed him or even thought of putting my hand in the tank, and the clown makes him look like a saint. Before I do anything in the tank we have a stare down as we prepare for battle and I can see his beady little souless eyes as he stares through my soul ready to pounce the second my hand enters the water. He is straight up like "in the first age in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened. ONE stood, burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of hell and tainted beyond ascension. He chose the past of perpetual torment, In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer."

I guess the whole tank is her territory. 90 gal.

Skunks are the most chill of the bunch, as said above, but they are rather runtish when fully grown. I have a pair along with a pair of Maroons, they don't know each other exist.
