Which clown is best?? - Page 2

mps9506 · 06-09-2007, 11:21 AM

I like the skunks just because they seem to have the best attitude in my experience. The other clowns all seem to get kinda pushy and territorial as they age.
Other than that everyone that is not in the marine hobby drools over percs and ocellaris clowns. And I'm a big fan of tank bred, but pink skunks can be difficult to find tank bred.

I voted for the black and white, but it is deffinitely between themand the pink skunks. I don't know which I would choose if I had to choose between those 2.

i voted for the tank bred Ocellaris just since that's what i have, and they're happy and healthy, but they do pick on each other a bit.

I tried to vote for Claribel, but I couldn't find the box to check?

Ew, clowns freak me out!!

What if I shrank him down?
Things seem to be cute when they are little.
Pygmy goats, baby fish, newborn lambs, miniature freakishly evil clowns?
See, now he's almost adorable.

Oh yeah, cutest thing I've ever seen! That's it, i'm getting one!

ummm..... prow, were you kidding when you implied skunk clowns smell?
Seriously?

charlir1954 · 06-16-2007, 07:36 AM

lol. no Kathy, he's kidding. I have two pink skunks and two ocellaris. The ocellaris are defenitely more friendly and less agressive to other fish ( and owners). They follow me all over when I am near the tank.

Hey! I didn't see Akindynos clowns!

cheeks69 · 06-16-2007, 11:00 AM

The Onyx True Percs are my favorite but the most beautiful pair I've seen is a variant of the Pink skunk clowns from Madagascar. Unfortunately didn't want to take my tank apart to remove the one's I had so I decided not to get them but I regret it as I haven't seen a pair since

caitrina · 06-17-2007, 12:50 AM

Hey Steve, How long did it take you to get that clown to sit still so you could take the pic.? It took me 19 tries to get a half way decent one and it still isn't as good as yours.

Anyway, I have the same clowns and I like my little guys although the one isn't so little. Posted my clown in my gallery.
