such awesome clowns you got there! definitely much easier taking vids of these guys. how old are these guys approximately and how big are they?

 

[Troylee]

There right at the 8 month mark... The female is little over a inch and the male is about right at a inch or maybe shy.... They have about doubled in size since I got them 5 months ago.... Just the last 2 weeks I started feeding them real heavy since I don't have my sticks any more so I can slack on water quality... There pigs man and will eat 10 times a day if I feed them...

 

[MarvinsReef]

good deal. when I get my clowns, they'll be around 4-5 months and will be about an inch. what are you feeding them atm?

 

[Troylee]

Spectrum 2 pellets and flake food.... I stopped using frozen because I feed my chalices with frozen and with the combo of the 2 creatures my phosphates exploded on me at one point and had a bad algae outbreak... At night time thou they get excited when I'm feeding the Lps and grab some of the reef caviar I'm feeding the corals...

I've fed my ORA A's strictly Spectrum pellets and they have colored up well. not black all the way but they do have some nice black on them to contrast the orange and white. I hope by feeding Otohime, Spectrum, and once/week frozen; I can have more of the black develop earlier. I'll be feeding little amounts at least 3x/day. I'll also look into auto feeders that drop the food into a feeding station so that the food don't get blown around the tank and into the overflow. :)

 

[Troylee]

I honesty feel the food has something to do with the vibrance but not overall coloration of them... I think th black just comes with time.... My female needs to get with it haha...

 

[Just Clownin Around]

She will don't worry about it.

They are really doing well for you and I see they still love the PVC. :tongue:

Marvin where'd you get your new ones

 

[Troylee]

Yeah waiting on a new nem to try it again... They would be lost without there little make shift home... Well momma would... She already kicked her man to the curb he sleeps in the upper back corner again.... They hang when feeding and that's it... The female will attack anything including me if I go near the PVC... The male is mellow and just hangs out... He used to sleep next to the PVC on the substrate but has since moved on.... Hopefully they pair up again and take to the bubble tip...

I'm sure they'll find their way to each other and the BTA. looking forward to seeing them all snuggled up in the nem in the next few weeks. :)

It might take them a little bit to find the nem but once they do it game over. They never leave it
