New Clowns

[olsinc]

Hey Everyone,
We went up to the LFS today and got our 2 new Clowns. I believe we have lucked out and got a Mated Pair. They won't leave each other side. Earlier one looked like it was trying to mate with the other. I've attached some pics. Sorry if they are a bit blurry our Camera isn't the best in the world.

congrats on the pair.. watch your arms while cleaning the male will tend to be aggressive and bite you.

Thanks. I noticed that their staying more to the top. Is this normal or are they trying to say that their Hungry? It's pretty cool that they won't leave each others side.

Hey! Nice pair! How did you know they were mated? A lot of times the terminology mated is used to mean two fish of opposite sex instead of two fish that have actually successfully laid eggs together. Its always a good practice to ask for a photo or video of one of their clutches of eggs to verify that they have laid. Good luck with them

btw, many times when clowns are initially put in an aquarium and stressed they will stay at the surface until they settle in. Then again, I've had clowns that never ever leave the surface and I've seen clowns like this in others tanks. Thats usually a negative in my opinion. Hopefully they will snap out of it and start exploring

Thanks. I turned on their lights this morning and i found them wondering around a little bit. Hopefully they will go out and explore today.
