Nikki saw these and had to have them which meant we had to have a new tank which takes us up to 4.

What Nikki wants, Nikki gets!


She does have good taste.



However, you’re in trouble. ;D

We have been in trouble for a long time Paul. . . However, I do believe mike is glad that my requests tend towards fish. :)
 
Those are awesome! Mike may I ask from where and the cost? I may setup a nano once my puppy gets out of the Vet and things settle down. Definitely wouldn't mind a pair.

You guys are enablers :p

John is the clown around here.

I mean clown fish king... ;D

Mnat, I think you need a no swimming sign in one of the tanks.

LOL, that no swimming sign has been around since my first saltwater tank way back in the 90s. I removed it from our tanks when Mike went reef on me, but as he was quite clear that this tank is my baby, I decided it was time to bring it back out of storage :)
 
They may be expensive but you don't have to buy from them. They have great customer service. I have been working with them to put some pairs together for me. So far I am very happy with them.

Great looking little 'Cassos! Didn't know that there were wild caught ones too, I thought it was a captive bred mutation. A great way to invigorate a bloodline for the home breeder! You guys hoping to breed them?
 
Yes, if all goes well. They are little guys, I think they are less than a year old- they still have clear "edges" to their fins, and they are just getting their black shading in.
I believe the ORA picaso clown strain descended from a misbarred Salmon Islands clown, if my memory serves me.
However, these guys are much tougher than captive bred clowns; I am still not getting much of a feeding response from them. Hoping to add an anem to calm them down (they were hosting a bubble tip at the store, but it was sold to someone else before I was ready to bring the clowns home).
