FWIW, late to the game, but seeing those pix I was an instant "A clarkii" response. FYI, to the person that posted the pix of the Yellow Breasted A. Polymnus, I HAD 2 of those shipped to me with the Lightning Maroons. They were PNG collected, part of the SEASMART program. They were awesome. Unfortunately, one died almost immediately and the other pretty quickly thereafter. As I've had nothing but good luck with Blue Zoo shipments ordinarily, I'm chalking this one up to one of those atypical bad shipments that can happen due to handling or something else, or I just really screwed the pooch somehow. Regardless, I believe you'll be able to get more of those Yellow Breasted PNG Saddlebacks through Blue Zoo Aquatics...I know I intend to. Mind you, this was shot hours before it expired, but still, even on it's deathbed, one cool clownfish - http://www.lightning-maroon-clownfish.com/?p=119 FWIW, Matt

I'm not sure if you read the whole thread or not but I got the pair for $25 so it was hard to pass up no matter what the species was. Another good thing that came out of this is that the it looks like the store I bought them from is going to start labeling their Clarkii's as Clark's Clowns and not Sebae going forward...Now if we can just get stores to stop labeling Occys as False Percs We'd be all set.

That was me once again...You just never see clowns like that at least around here. They are so cool looking so it seems like you would be able to move them if you get them to breed. It would be nice to get some Latz clowns but I'd be sleeping in the doghouse, and my kids would be eating bread and water if I spent $1,000 on a pair of fish!

Wow, those less common species you posted Chad, WOW. I thought distinguishing Occys and Percs was hard enough haha. How do these Clarkiis and Sabeas behave? Smallest recommended tank size? Still thinking about stocking a potential 5.5 AGA, im hesitant to put most any clown in there, Green Banded Gobies look pretty cool too though. Hope this isnt a hijack... based on the fish base links the color variations are subtle and i imagine fish to fish they are hard to distinguish

No problem on the Hijack.. Do you want to get a pair or a single individual? Although a 5.5 is a small tank clowns really don't move around much. So they don't need as much space as most other fish. You could certainly keep them in a tank that small in the near term. Although space isn't going to be a huge issue for these guys you are going to have to keep up with your water changes to keep your water quality in check. The Green Banded Gobies would probably be a better option for you especially long term. If you wanted to up to a 10 gallon you could keep a clown pair basically as long as you wanted there.

i think i need to move in and see what space i have for sure but as im looking at a Nova extreme 18" to light this project i could potential move up to a 10G. Only looking to keep softies and maybe a single LPS of some sort in there. I would only keep a single clown in a 5.5G for sure. Are there GBG breeders locally too? i heard they were more shy and hide in the tank. I'll start another post for this project though. What kind of behavior do Clarkiis have? compared to say percs or tomatoes
