Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another episode of "Lets pair that Maroon!"
I'm your host ReeferBlaine and our contestants name... well she doesn't have one because naming at times can be difficult.. but shes a lightning maroon I've had now since February 26th and got her for a screaming deal of 5 doll hairs! (They thought she was a baby maroon and I also had a gift card to the LFS)
I am now reaching out to you all because sadly long ago in a reef far far away I had two gold strip maroons that I bought as a pair back in Nevada. They were a fun couple, never had them lay, but sure enjoyed them. Was fun too because I heard early about the difficulty of pairing clownfish at times let alone maroons. Sadly, after a few years and needing to move I gave the couple up..
Fast forward to Feb. 25th of this year I see this little girl in nem grow out tank at my LFS and decide to take her home for my baby black widow nem (originally planned on a baby storm, life changes). Now here I am sitting at home this August 8th and I decide in my head I'd like to attempt pairing her.
Now, a few questions....
1. Should I keep letting her grow out to a much more substantial size? Or pairing maroons simpler in the smaller stages?
2. Should I attempt pairing with a different strain of maroons? (gold band, peace keeper, etc.) Or should I try for a totally different clown?
3. Am I nuts? Should I even risk it?
Now welcome to the game show "Lets pair that Maroon"!!!!!!!
