Hey there, my name is Mark and i am from an island off the coast of Queensland Australia called nth Sradbroke Is. I have had saltwater fish for around twelve years now and my wife thinks i am obsessed. I have a four foot reef tank and nine other breeding tanks, and all the fry tubs. I really love the clowns and am trying to breed a few different pairs with a little succuss and a lot of heartache, also the Orchid Dottyback. I love the designer clowns and they are quite hard to get here and cost a fortune. But over the years I have got a few and have just got a platinum x a grade picasso to lay there first few batches of eggs so I am super excited at the moment. Were i live we have coral reef straight out the front and have many barrier reef clowns and latz plus heaps of other fish so i get to see them in the wild wich is pretty cool. Well i am sure i will learn a lot off here and hope i can help if possible cheers.

Well, "coral reef straight out the front", I'm jealous. I'm a land lubber living in Kentucky. Used to be a commercial fisherman/captain. We go to the ocean at least twice a year. We do have two large reef tanks in the living room and a couple species specific/breeder tanks in my office. Well, the world sure is getting smaller - communicating with a guy in Australia.
