Here is an older picture of my snowflakes.
210fish107.jpg

Thay now host my hammers which has tripled in size so I do not see them as much
The male normally hangs out on the left side so I think this is him
210fish079.jpg

and this should be the female on the right

I was lucky enough to come across a single snowflake & am so tempted to try to add him to the mix.

Very pretty fish. Kinda funny seeing random frags of SPS on the sand too lol

I know I know. I think it is time for another upgrade:)


Chelsey yes that is my female joc when I first got her. She has probably doubled in size since that picture.

10 steps to giving Chelsey a heart attack:
1. Buy expensive clownfish
2. Add to tank
3. Mean leopard wrasse picks on newcomers
4. Split up pair of snowflakes so that while I'm watching one the wrasse is picking on the other
5. 5 minutes later, cannot find snowflake #2
6. Look around in tank to see if you can find snowflake #2
7. Heart racing, look around tank on floor for fish
8. See fish on floor behind tank, covered with fuzz
9. Freak out, put fish in bucket that you dripped fish in and clean off fuzz
10. Clown immediately revives, fins you, and then swims around bucket looking for friend.

I was going to put them in a critter keeper in the cube, but then I decided that they were probably big enough to do ok against the wrasse. During the brief period the snowflakes were loose in my tank the picassos were quite happy to see them and they were "schooling," if clownfish can do such a thing. Needless to say they're now in a critter keeper with a piece of PVC, just like my picassos were. If I were not so attached to the stupid leopard wrasse I would've killed her. Despite all of this harrassment the snowflakes ate quite well tonight, less than an hour after they were in my tank.

Anyway, here are the pics:

The clown in the back is the one that went surfing. If you look close enough you can see little areas of discoloration from me getting the junk off of him. That clown's name is now Lucky.

The clown that jumped (male) died yesterday. Since one snowflake will not breed by herself I drove back to STL and bought the single male that they had. Here's a pic of the pair, version 2.0 ;) The male is on the left, the female is guarding the entrance to her PVC tube:

These are really cool looking fish! I have read a lot of hype about them. Where do they come from? Is this a new release from ORA?

I use to keep a lot of Picasso's. It took a while to figure out what they will eat. ORA feeds them ORA GLO but I could never get them to eat it. But, everytime I put frozen Cyclopeze in the tank they would eat it right away.
