Horen Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Greetings fellow reefers! Here are some pictures of my Blood Orange Misbar Clownfish. Hope you like it Link to comment
hey Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've been considering a pair of these once my tanks up and running. They really do get the traits I like most from both fish it seems. Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This is a very nice variant, for sure. The deep orange/red suits the fish well. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I wonder how big they get? reef-builders thinks they grow large. I kind of want them to stay small Link to comment
Horen Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've been considering a pair of these once my tanks up and running. They really do get the traits I like most from both fish it seems. Its a really nice fish. I have been seeing it and you notice the traits from the ocellaris and the traits from the maroon. This is a very nice variant, for sure. The deep orange/red suits the fish well. The color its awesome. Its has a really deep orange almost red. I wonder how big they get? reef-builders thinks they grow large. I kind of want them to stay small Right now this one is between one inch and once inch and a half. Remember we will grow depending on the space that you hace him. Mine its in a Fluval Spec V. Another thing I have notice its a really peaceful fish. First it was with a Extreme Misbar Clownfish and i move it to my Fluval Spec V and he is with two Green Chromis and a Pijama Cardinal and they live in peace. (I hope the tranquility environment last longs) Link to comment
GlassHouse Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Right now this one is between one inch and once inch and a half. Remember we will grow depending on the space that you hace him. Mine its in a Fluval Spec V. This really simply isn't true. Likewise, keeping a human child locked in a small room won't keep him from growing to full size. What does happen in a small aquarium is that the fish will get larger and larger, water quality will be worse and worse, and eventually the fish will die prematurely before it has a chance to get any larger. Maroon clownfish can get up to 6" while Occelaris can grow to 4". It's impossible to say how large these crossbreed clownfish can ultimately get, but it's safe to say that a 5 gallon aquarium is way too small for them. Link to comment

Add on top of that, that there are 3 other fish in the tank that will all creep over 3in in length. Majorly over stocked for such a tiny tank. Link to comment

(I hope the tranquility environment last longs) Higher nitrates inhibit growth and feeding less can inhibit growth... both which would probably be present in a small aquarium but not tank size alone.... both which I wouldn't consider "healthy". Clownfish often die prematurely even mysteriously and people often bring up "old age" but others with larger systems have had them live 20-25 years. I would say they died prematurely from poor health. Not ragging on you as we all keep nano's here but theres more to it than tank size. Link to comment
Jeradmccarty Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I really want to pair one of these new blood orange clowns with a black ice, preferably have the black ice already be a large established female to keep the blood orange small and male Because I had a pair of maroon clowns before and the male actually stayed quite small Greetings fellow reefers! Here are some pictures of my Blood Orange Misbar Clownfish. https://imageshack.com/i/0jl2s2j'>https://imageshack.com/i/mvwh1wj'> Hope you like it Such a beautiful new crossbreed, have any of you guys here heard of the long finned ocellaris from Sustainable Aquatics?

Yes, I love designer clowns but hybrids, no, long finned, certainly not a trait one should breed. Link to comment
Jeradmccarty Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yes, I love designer clowns but hybrids, no, long finned, certainly not a trait one should breed. Sustainable aquatics is successfully breeding long finned ocellaris clowns from there super fancy designer breed, why not a hybrid, that's and awesome fish. It has all the good characteristics of a maroon clown but not as big and not as nasty, it's like the best of both worlds c'mon Link to comment

Hybrids (Like Ligers) often have breeding problems, unless they're more "natural" hybrids from similar species, like percula and ocellaris. Link to comment

I think that a long fin would be cool but yes there is always the possibility of problems. Link to comment

He was saying to keep the genetics pure because once you cross, you can never breed that back out. It will never be a percula or ocellaris clownfish again. I think it had to do with tainting the gene pool should we ever need a truly pure strain again. I guess I am just giving you an answer to your "why" from some peoples perspective. "....you lose the natural form along the way – the fish that are uniquely adapted to a location like the reefs of PNG is lost, and you have a man-made creation in its place which might fail to flourish in the wild for who knows what reason. Or if reintroduced fish did survive, they could inadvertently introduce a latent gold stripe gene and one day all of the Maroon Clownfish in PNG would be gold stripes. It’s a slippery slope when we start ignoring the unique traits that make up variants." http://www.lightning-maroon-clownfish.com/?tag=gold-stripe-maroon-clownfish Link to comment
Jeradmccarty Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just want a pic of the clownfish currently to see how it's changed, that's all Link to comment
