What, you can't tattoo baby clownfish?

BarbMazz · 08-26-2008, 11:10 PM

Doni Marie, I know you have mine roped off in their own separate area, right? lol
Pictures are fine with me. I know you take PayPal, so I'll assume you'll be doing payments that way?
This is VERY EXCITING!!!!! A MONTH AWAY!!!!!

Photos it will be then.

I think pic of both sides should suffice... although a video would be cool... I'm sure you'll figure it out when the time comes... congrats in advance to the first owners... looking forward to mine...

Doni have you decided on what the Snowflake are going to cost? Have you had any that would qualify as a Snowflake yet? Thanks

MFX · 08-27-2008, 04:56 AM

I am annoyed. I have looked into it and apparently it is illegal to import "cultured" fish into Australia, which I think is stupid? It means we are only allowed to deplete the natural resources. As far as I know there aren't any Picasso's in Aus'.

I personally think you should be charging something for the Picasso culls Doni. Maybe $20 just to help cover some of the costs involved. I feel sorry for the poor regular coloured culls, they are going to be the orphans that were left behind....

Hehe~ I guess in a way, they already have tatoos since their markings are all different

Paypal works for me.

I think there might be one or two that has a lot of white. No idea on the pricing... I will keep some of those for future brood stock

Well that stinks. Maybe they are trying to protect the waters from possible introduction of foreign species?

JeffreyLebowski · 08-27-2008, 10:28 AM

It's getting serious here...woohoo...can't wait for the shipments to start...hope Doni can give me a caresheet for one of the babies hehe

lcstorc · 08-27-2008, 11:48 AM

I'm sure someone will adopt the normal looking culls. At least if there is just something like an overbite or something. If my maroon would let me, I would.

kathywithbirds · 08-27-2008, 06:09 PM

Doni's are going in the 24 with RoBerTA. The tomato that's in there now isn't ours. Hope they like each other.

dalilgriffith · 08-27-2008, 06:34 PM

I figured I would write something up just in case i ever sell my clowns:

http://71.225.71.111/order/

This is the design so far. I stopped working on the front page and started working on the back end. My goal is to have everything auto-populate from my database backend.

If you guys are view this at 1280x1024, i love how i got the clownfish eye poking out.

Woodstock · 08-27-2008, 08:05 PM

Kathy, I would not recommend putting clowns in with the tomato. Most tomatos (and clowns in general) are very territorial and will fight/kill new clowns.

Nice work dalilgriffith

schackmel · 08-28-2008, 12:11 AM

Hey I have a brilliant idea....why dont you do something a little different?
Why dont you start at the bottom of the list and work your way up?

I dont know about everybody else but I think that sounds like a brilliant plan!

They are looking great and you have done a fantastic job! Thank you so much for all the posts, not to mention all the time you spent raising them!

My LFS is making a big deal that they got a Snowflake in! You dont even want to know what they are asking for it...besides wont tell you..dont want to give you any ideas

But they keep saying that it is one of 50 in the U.S. and I just keep laughing thinking...hum I am on the waiting list for some and they (yours Donni) look much better then theirs

I cant wait...

Oh no no!! The tomato is outta there. That's what I meant by he's not ours, he's either getting shipped back to daddy or going to the LFS. He's too big for the 24 truly anyway.

Thanks for the kind comments and encouragement. It does take a lot of work but so far it is still fun
