Blood Orange Clownfish

Davar93 · Oct 30, 2020

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone has experience with blood orange clowns?
If so, how big do they get as adults? Are they compatible with other clowns, such as a black snowflake? Since they are a hybrid. Thanks!

Well if someone could breed a maroon and an ocy together I guess they could keep a blood orange which should be no bigger than 4" from what I have heard with a black snowflake. Just thinking in terms of genetics. However, I do not know if these hybrids experience hybrid vigor which would lead to a much larger clown than I predicted. I doubt they get bigger than what I said though just because if they got bigger I think I would remember.

Yes that makes sense, I just do not want a super huge fish and want them to not end up killing each other if they wouldn’t be a match. I will try get a small orange so he can be male maybe. I saw some people on yt keeping the orange with a regular occ. I will maybe give it a shot and see how it goes because I saw some amazing specimen at my lfs yesterday that I got. But first qt
