    Default Lightning Maroon Clown Fish Spawns

    It's about time! Wonder how much they will be going for? Probably in the vicinity of $500 to $1,000 or more per fish! What do you guy's think?

    Yea! I thought it was cool to know we might be able to see some with the lightning stripes on them!

    Very cool..

    So he bred a lightning with just an average maroon? Why not 2 lightnings? Wont that drastically decrease the amount of lightnings in the clutch..?

    I believe in all of recorded fish-collecting history, only two have been caught. He had both of them at one point, but one died. He has tried for 2+ years to get his remaining one to get along with and mate with a second clown.

    nope... the first pair was auctioned off for twice as much as the 2nd pair, but some random ballin' guy killed them... then they said we're only gonna auction them off to professional breeders and this kat got them... good thing too...

    so far only two females were caught... but they gave him a male from the same spot she was caught... hoping that it might have the same genetic make up or heterogeneous for "lightning"...

    Its a rare genetic variation...

    Edit: Any environmental information on where the fish came from? Depth? Associated structure? Anemone?

    there hardy... i have cycled tanks with premna clowns... LOL... but the first lightning premna wasn't cared for by a pro... some guy with a ton of cash got it... a collector... so it was his mistake that cost the life of the first lightning clown...
