Picked up two new clowns!

coraal · Oct 27, 2014

Went down to RAP for the weekend but decided that going day 2 would be a bad idea so I was told by a fool to go to Reef Lounge USA and... I ended up with these two clowns..

If any one can ID these two clowns that would be nice!

got the pair for pretty cheap. Almost picked up more clowns because the price is unbeatable.

So.. I was pretty scared at putting the clowns in my tank since I already have 2 clowns ( juve Picasso and juve Wyoming White) and was reading all these articles about how there should only be one pair of clownfish in the tank . But decided I'd give it a go and if anything catch the two old clowns but once I released the new ones into the tank the old ones swam over and started rubbing against them ! Didn't seem like any aggression is being shown! **fingers crossed* hopefully fighting isn't in the future so I can peacefully have 4 clowns in my tank

The peacefulness between the four will more than likely cease when one goes female. What size tank?

75 gal. one of the new ones is really big already and the other new one is the second biggest. the old ones are small since i bought them as babies.

Really tough to call. I'd say definitely WW, MW or platinum's. With them being out of the water, t's tough to tell if they have that blue outline on their fins for the MW's. I'd lean towards WW's but not sure about the black spot above and behind the eye's. Here's a pic of mine that have been labeled here by a couple people as WW's. Hopefully someone will give you a definite ID on them. Really though, who cares though as long as you're happy. They are great looking clowns! Please forgive the nastiness of the algae in my tank. It is improving daily.

Chances are they are currently all males. When one turns female, it will likely pair up and the pair -may- be intolerant of the other males, so you will need to watch them especially if it is a smaller tank. Added nems (one per, minimum) will help improve your chances.

Beautiful fish! I love clowns... and yah the ones I got have the blue outline when they're in the water.

Alot of these clowns look the same to me haha I can't even tell the difference between Perc and Ocellaris

The seller didn't advertise them. Just had them in the store and they looked good so I bought them..

It was 2 for $170

That's a great price for that big of a pair ready to breed nice

Miami Whites are Wyoming Whites, but WW came about first.
