Skunk Clown

[Huskymaniac]

Figured I would ask. I am trying to find a specific Clownfish. 10 years ago I ordered an orange skunk clown and got amphipiron akallapisos. I have been trying to find another one with out any luck. No one seems to carry them or breed them. Seems kind of crazy since this is one of the best clowns I have ever owned.

Sucks , have you asked the lfs if they have any source on them ?

 

[Huskymaniac]

Yea. No one knows what I am talking about, haha. Never heard of them before.

Those are the pink skunks. The fish I am.looking for actually goes by Peach Skunk.

Yeah I'm guilty of not reading everything, the only two I ever see are the common regular pink skunk and then the orange skunk known as Amphiprion sandaracinos

Maybe you can reach out to collectors in their region.

My Skunks spawn - I wish I had the means to raise them. They don't seem very popular, but I love them. Low aggression and adorable! Here is a pic of the female getting in front of her eggs when I was taking a picture. "Excuse me, what exactly are you doing near my eggs sir?!"

I have a pair... and I see them frequently here in NJ. If mine ever spawn Ill keep you in mind

Thats not the fish. That is a pink skunk not a peach skunk.

I’ve seen a very interesting variant of A. Akallopisos at a local fish store in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. I contemplated buying it because I thought it was A. Leucokranos. It’s the one hiding behind the PVC pipe in the photo. When asked to ID this clown on another forum, the consensus was it was A. Akallopisos.

Thats a peach skunk!

I was actually thinking about adding a few to my (future) tank after watching Mark Levenson's tank with 11 of them. I'd love to see more pics of yours! Do you have other clowns?

I've had a Tomato clown previous - he was Satan spawn. I had a couple of snowflakes after that - they was turned into jerky due to a hawkfish chasing them out of the tank :-\. Snowflakes were alright - They did seem a little derpy though - just my opinion. If the Peach Skunks OP is looking for are anything like my Pink skunks they'll be awesome.

As requested! First 2 pictures are from ~3-4 years ago in my 75g; Later 3 are from right after I moved and upgraded to 150g(June 2016ish).

This is a bit of a late follow up, but I see that Sustainable Aquatics online store has these (the "Peach"/A. akallopisos variety): https://www.coralreeftn.com/shop.php

I may have to consider these for myself, thanks!
