d'Espresso Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Im inlove with your spartan!!! wow.. hopefully the one you gave me will look like your spartan someday! Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Quick question? why does the little clown fish like to hang all the way on the top water? is it because he hungry? just kinda afraid it my do a carpet surfing Link to comment
bpkenn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 This breeding pair looks awesome, he is wild caught right? Maybe you can clear some confusion up for me, from what you had described as deformed in a previous thread, this fish should also be considered deformed, shouldn't it? PS. I like the spartans markings....maybe you will have better luck with picassos than you do breeding onyx. Quick question? why does the little clown fish like to hang all the way on the top water? is it because he hungry? just kinda afraid it my do a carpet surfing Clownfish are social animals, they will always try to pair up. If he is alone, chances are he see's his reflection and is trying to pair up with it. do you ever see him twitch, or turn sideways? If you want him to be more visible in the tank, find him a mate.

Pickle010 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ^ forget this tard Christo - I'm interested in some of your picasso's and a pair of Onyx - but I've got some questions for you first. I'll shoot you a PM later on. Link to comment
bpkenn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ^ forget this tard Christo - I'm interested in some of your picasso's and a pair of Onyx - but I've got some questions for you first. I'll shoot you a PM later on. Intelligent, and constructive. I asked a legitimate question and would like a legitimate answer. Christos (Erik) claimed a clownfish I bought from Booyahs was deformed, yet he is clearly Breeding an equally deformed clownfish and selling offspring to you guys. This is the second fish i've seen you breeding that would fall under your classification of "deformed." I just want a clear answer, because you made a huge stink about my fish being deformed. It would be nice to know if these fish are really deformed, or if you were just trying to detract from another breeders work for your own profit? Link to comment
christosclowns Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 bp I answered your question through via pm i wuld not like to ruin another thread as you did one already.

davidr2340 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 bpkenn, Why don't you just ask the question instead of adding all the other crap with it? Link to comment

Please take this to pm no need for a rutkiss id appreciate it and ill answer any questions you have which i did about tow min ag in a p, i sent you I think you have already created a big enough stink that this needs to be addressed publicly. Please answer here, and I'll move on. bpkenn, Why don't you just ask the question instead of adding all the other crap with it? Background and context needs to be provided for a relevant answer.

christosclowns Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I answered yor question in pm if you want to copy and paste it go right ahead i wont answer again thank you Link to comment
bpkenn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I answered yor question in pm if you want to copy and paste it go right ahead i wont answer again thank you A lot of that isn't completely relevant, do I have permission to selectively quote the PM? Link to comment
christosclowns Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 bpkenn you can do anything you would like I cant stop you. I was wrong for bashing your fish that was deformed. Absolutley i should have kept my two cents to myself. Your fish has great coloration and it really hinestly doesnt matter if she has a hump if your happy with her. My onyx female has the same hump yet i wasnt aware she did through the pictures I got of her. Either way my apologies for starting something that was irrelevant. My wild caught male does nto have it from what i see maybe the tiniest bit but he is wild caught thanks Link to comment
bpkenn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The moderators have agreed to re-open these threads provided nobody gets out of line. With that I feel that christosclowns PMed apology can best explain the conclusion. I answered yor question in pm if you want to copy and paste it go right ahead i wont answer again thank you I pmed chris marks yesterday and told him that i was the cause of that argument. I told him it was not fair to close your thread because you were simpply attempting to show off your fish. I do apologize if I ruined it for you but i have worked my ass off breeding these clowns and I dont want to cause chaos. Your right your fish has awesome coloration and yes he may be a bit deformed in the head but some cquest pairs the majority of them do have that.One of my females has it not the male by the way Rods has it Mitches has it etc... Just because the parents have it does not neccessarilu mean the offspring will. I'm glad we can clear that portion up. Mitch @ Booyah's produces some wicked onyx clownfish (most credit going to Bill addison of course!!!) The deformity comes from nutritional and water paramters. I don't agree with this. Why would we see this deformity in the wild caught fish then? I believe in natural selection, and to some extent, the oceans are one of the places that the taint of human existence has the...least immediate impact. Thusly I think it is a better indicator of nature taking its course. my male is wild caught. All my males and picasso females are wild caught and yes one does have a hump but it does not affect the offspring. If this "deformity" causes a major health issue to the fish, I would think that natural selection would have done the work of "culling" it from the ocean. Honestly, from this point forward, I will no longer be referring to that as a deformity. If it occurs in nature, and the fish survives along with the rest of the fittest, then it is obviously beneficial or negligible, and should not be looked upon negatively. Your fish has amazing coloration and to you its beautiful just like to me mine is. I got out of hand you got out of hand etc... I am sorry sincerely Thank you for the apology again, but I cannot return one to you. I do not feel I was out of hand. Such reactions on my part are to be expected when continuously provoked. I really do it cuz I love it. Colby has ten pairs of my fish that are half an inch and almost completely black and he keeps them under t5 lights, where my brother has a pair of mine in a 29 jbj with halides and there not its hit or miss with early signs sometimes it takes a year or two. That is why I would really urge you to grow your fish for a bit longer before you sell them as onyx. This way everyone knows they are getting what they are paying for. edit: I would like to see Colby post some pictures of the completely black onyx that you bred if he doesn't mind. I send my apologies again if I did not answer your question and if I was a jerk off in your thread. I really did nothing wrong to mitch and if you ask others I really am a cool guy and very straight foward. I hope this answers your questions and I hope this can be behind us I disagree, and im sure Mitch would also. What you did was clearly defamation, but thank you for the apology, and I will move on from this unless I am further provoked. Link to comment
