    New Maroon Clown

    Well I just got back from the LFS with a 1 1/4" ORA Gold Barred Maroon Clown. My hope is that it will be the male to my 3" female I have had for two years. I have been waiting for my female to achieve the desired size differential so that she would not view the new addition as competion...

    Damsel ID

    This fish was ordered by my LFS as a Blue Fiji Damsel. In the Damsel book at the LFS the Blue Fiji Damsel does not have any yellow on the dorsal fin and has a slightly different body shape. This fish has a body type that resembles that of an Azure Damsel, but not the same coloration. Any ideas?
