Yep plus you really need a much more mature tank for an anemone. They tend to lose color and shrink. Sometimes they just turn to goo and pollute the whole tank.

That is not true my tank is 3 months old and I have a green s h carpet and a hatian condi since week 4 and just got gbta yesterday. They say that because if your new like me tank parameters really swing. I have no issues being I have tin ton's of reaserch.

Maroons are much more aggressive, it will be bigger than the oscelaris soon and the maroon will kill the oscelaris. These fish can live in excess of 10 years if the conditions are right.

Explain to me how a blood orange clownish is made then?

The Ora blood orange clowns are decendents of a pair of blood orange clowns Ora received from a man by the name of Larry Lau. The original pair were a rare hybrid of a maroon female and oscellaris male. The ones they sell are from two blood orange not from a maroon and oscellaris. This type of hybridization is very rare.

As to the original question, can two species of clowns be mixed. In reality you can do what ever you want but you wouldn't have long term success and that choice would be treating the lives of those fish carelessly. These fish are beautiful living animals, we as aquarists, in my opinion, have a responsibility to make choices that will not jeopardize that life or inflict unnecessary stress. Beginners make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. We were all beginners at one time.

Okay you areally talking about the ORA one company. So as a responsible fish owner your saying that davinci clowns, hybrid should have never been made then because that's irasponsible fish keeping.

You can't tell me that a company would not try to experament with fish to come up with the next best thing.

Da Vinci clowns are not hybrid they are oscelaris clowns that are a different color or pattern

Shaddow_wolf169 · Feb 9, 2017

And how did that come to be?

Lynn52 · Feb 9, 2017

There is a huge difference between hybridization and selective breeding. Hybridization is like breeding a horse (Equus ferus caballus) with a donkey (Equus africanus asinus) to get a mule. The parents are different species the baby is not a horse or a donkey but a mixture of both.
Selective breeding is breeding two individuals of the same species with the end goal of certain traits being expressed. This is like breeding a labrador retriever (Canis familiaris) with a poodle (Canis familiaris) to get a labradoodle, a friendly big dog that doesn't shed (also a Canis familiaris). Both parents were dogs and the offspring are also dogs.
Responsible fish breeders don't just throw a bunch of fish of different species together hoping they will breed instead of killing each other. They do breed fish of the same species in an attempt to get offspring that look a specific way, then they give them a fancy name and market them.

Thank you for the information. What other fish go well clowns and firefish in a 75. I had ciclids before I did salt water and the killed each other I don't know if I want to risk that with high dollar darwins or snowflakes.

I have an oscellaris and she seems to get along with every fish ive ever put in with her. I've never tried another clown though.

Just get a smaller oscellaris she will check him but should be fine.

this is what my anemone is like now. Better?

Lynn52 · Feb 9, 2017

Unfortunately no. The first clue is the color. It shouldn't be white. The next clue is the tentacles they are short and kind of stubby. It may well have already been on its way out when you got it. I don't think, even if you went out and got the right lights, it would come back.
