What designer Clowns do you have?

[Tom Carr]

I finally got my tank back up and running and looking to purchase a pair of Clowns for the kids.
I really like the Black Ice and Black Ice Snowflake clowns. I am interested to hear what others have purchased.

If you could post pics too that would be great.

I have a flurry clown. Looks like a frostbite or whatever.

I would get a smaller all-black midnight, but I am getting rd of this guy.

Very nice.
What size tank are they in?

I love black storm, unfortunately my Reefer 250 isn't big enough for two pairs of clowns. I am worried about the slaughter that would happen.

Very nice. I wish I lived closer I would take him off your hands.

Yeah I wouldn't take the chance. The Black Storms are really nice too. I am still trying to decide on what to get. So many awesome options. I just don't want to break the bank on two fish before Christmas. lol

I have a pair of gold-nugget clownfish, they're still young and haven't fully change in color but the white is starting to turn a yellowish gold. Attached are before & after as they mature.

What size tank are they in?

75ish gallon bowfront. The thunder is about 2.5 inches, the lightning is about 1.5 inches

Just the ones God designed, one pair of Ocellaris.

I just bought a pair of Phantom clowns. They're basically the black/white snowflake pattern but have an orange face. They're still very small but I really like the three color look they have.

I have a pair of Orange Storms and love them.

Okay. I am a purist. Please do not be offended by my reply. Designer Clownfish just ruffle my fins. (I was going to write "feathers" but that seemed a mixed reference. ) I also dislike tiny purse poodles and Labradoodles and hairless cats and those fake florescent FW tetras. I do have a pair of Ocellaris because I couldn't find true Perculas at my LFS so, yes, perhaps I am a hypocrite. But the Designer Clowns just make my stomach hurt a little. I think I feel bad for them.

You're not a hypocrite, you're entitled to your beliefs and that's cool. Personally I bought the gold nuggets because they were tank raised and accustomed to aquaria life and because I found them attractive. No offense taken, if anything I respect your opinion.

I have a Thunder Maroon, looking for a small lightning to go with him. I also have a Midnight and tiny Black Ice that are getting accustomed to each other in my smaller tank.

I have a pair of Black Ice Snowflakes and by far they are my favorite of the designer clowns.

I'll have to take a picture of them later. Their markings are similar to each other but distinct so you can easily tell them apart. They have a wonderful color gradient from black on top to orange on their bellies, and at the edge of the white coloring is an iridescent line that stands out like crazy under atinics.

Best part about these is I a huge discount from the Petco by my office because I helped the store manager resolve a bristle work problem they had in their tanks.

No offense here and I get the general sentiment, but I’m curious why you prefer the Amphiprion percula over the other approximately 25 species of clownfish?
