dpoltsdsu Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I thought you all might enjoy this. Here is a clownfish at my lfs with a natural $ sign on its side. It's pretty unique! Link to comment
CatfishSoupFTW Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 and you didnt buy it... tisk tisk. XD Link to comment
jgpico Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Money sign on its side means extra expensive lol. That's awesome!!! Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 The owner said it isn't for sale. He said he's been offered a lot of money for it but he said he's too attached to the fish lol Link to comment

jamescstein Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks like this video has a shot of this fish in it.. Link to comment
CJJon Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah, but you buy it and two months later the pattern changes into Justin Bieber's face. Now how much you want for it? Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah, but you buy it and two months later the pattern changes into Justin Bieber's face. Now how much you want for it? They pay you $20 Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looks like this video has a shot of this fish in it.. Yep that's my lfs! Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yep that's my lfs! Ali has a pretty cool store.... though it's more like an aquarium than LFS IMO. Link to comment
Jellyingabout Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So unfair, my LFS is nothing on that. Then again I can have the comfort that though they are small they ain't genetically modifying clown fish. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Who's to say we're not some genetically modified creatures. Infact isn't man made up of all things from the earth! What if god was nothing more than an alien kid with a science expiriment. That clownfish is dope though. Watch some noob buy it and throw it in with his ultra badass thousand dollar lion fish! But that's how it goes, who am I to hate! Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Selective breeding and genetic modification are not the same thing.... Link to comment
Jellyingabout Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 No they are not but that clown is clearly a gm clown. its probably radioactive. Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 No they are not but that clown is clearly a gm clown. its probably radioactive. The fish was wild caught... I really highly doubt scientists in the aquarium industry are genetically modifying clownfish to have dollar signs on their sides.. Different color morphs of clownfish found in the hobby are a result of selective breeding, not genetic modification. Link to comment
Jellyingabout Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nope, i don't believe it, they fill them full of needles and expose them to gamma rays, that's how all these fancy clowns are made. I pinky swear. But on a more serious note its pretty cool that this was wild caught, not even selectively bred Link to comment

I pinky swear. But on a more serious note its pretty cool that this was wild caught, not even selectively bred Gamma rays would more than likely alter a fishes looks other than color of not kill them, you're mutating their DNA causing thymine dimers messing up the template in turn hurting the fish in the long run, mutation has a very little success rate and even after that you have to selectively breed to keep the gene alive lol Link to comment
Jellyingabout Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 someone has clearly not seen spider man. And you try telling that to this clownfish, it has more cash than the rest of us, it could literally buy the science and technology to prove you all wrong @SchnauzerFace 's take on this just kills me http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/360613-reef-crystals-reading-0-on-gravity/page-2 Link to comment
