wow that is one crazy looking clown

 

[rainbowclownfish]

I dont like it. Looks weird to me

Wow so cool. Looks like many of the F1 generation show the lightning clown markings! About 15 or so babies are going up for auction soon. I wish I could afford one. Oh well. Check out Matts website for updated pictures.

Wow thanks for the update James really cool. Maybe we'll get quoted on his blog again with all the misinformation...

I think they are sort of ugly hopefully the patterns change a little more, or the next generations get more of the lightning look. I wouldn't want a maroon clown anyways they are terribly aggressive.

You think the babies are ugly or the momma is ugly? I am sure the markings on the babies will mature as they get older and look like the momma. I agree that maroons are nasty mean but the beauty of the original would allow me to put up with it.

No the momma is awesome... I meant the babies. But yeah your right their patterns may develop further they just don't quite have the lightning look I guess. Still a great achievement.

Matt,

Would you point me in the right direction, you being in the clown breeding community? I am in search for several premium top shelf midnight clownfish. I realize that ORA breeds them but they still possess the orange face. I am looking for ones that is completely black from face to tail. Please ask around and see if anyone in the breeding world have more than a few to unload to me. Thanks.

that thing is wicked

$2500 for a fish, I better use that money for a new nano tank!

 

[Six2seven]

I see these rare expensive fish every once and a while but once purchased, you never hear from them again. Dead maybe?

If you havent had a chance check out Matt Pedersen's updates on the clutch of babies. Very cool. Looks like some will make it to market with the markings that make them so cool. Sadly I am sure they will cost way to much for me but perhaps one of the ballers here can get one and I can go stare at it for a bit!

I hadn't heard he was successful. THats awesome for the hobby.

I dunno... none of the babies are even close to showing the pattern of the lightning. IMO even babies have a pattern that hold true most of their life - Part of the reason for the sort and cull process.

I dont know I think some have the beginings of the lightning pattern and they are still young. Im real interested to see how they look in a few years.
