My new Onyx Clowns from Rod's Reef

[Mark82]

Hey everyone,

I finally got my Onyx Clowns :rofl:Here's a couple pic's of these little guy's. I will take pic's of them weekly to document the coloring and growth of these two. The color is rich in person. And thanks to Rod Buehler for providing me with these amazing fish.
here they are in the bag.

And in the tank, they are in a breeder tank inside the tank. These guy's have already ate Cyclopeeze.

Thanks for viewing :rock:

Beautiful pair Mark. Can't wait till they fully color in on the black. Here is a recent pic of my pair. Didn't get them from Rod though. The male is still developing more black on it's body and dorsal fin. Try feeding them meaty foods. I think high protein foods helps with the black coloration.

Thanks Kenny, I can't wait til mine color all the way in, but I will enjoy the process.

Here's another pic, there is black coming in on where her 3rd bar should be, and I hope his bar stay's incomplete in the middle.

And here is a pic to try and show size.

More pic's,
Feeding time:eating:

 

[sps_addict]

haha, that's a good idea. you can get them eating out of your hand in no time using that method.

 

[Mark82]

They seem like they are becoming comfortable with me, or have they already associated me with food lol.

 

[sps_addict]

haha, that is a good thing. I don't spend a lot of time at my tank due to work, so when I usually go up to feed they scatter. Lol, probably for the reason that other times they do see me, I go through and move things and frag corals....lol.

 

[temec_lover]

[pookstreet]
