What suggests that your clowns are Percularis?

Well. . . the coloration? I guess. They are light on the lower half, and darker on the upper half... and it is just odd, as I am not coming across any of similar coloration, to where the colors blend like that... I will try to post better pics... maybe more eyes will give a definitive answer. Some are saying the darker colors are representative of wild caught- which I ended up finding out the store I originally got them from can't tell for sure, as back then they were purchasing/selling both wild caught and tank raised... so they were just labeled as "common ocellaris"- but to me they look like a mix... with maybe some onyx thrown in? as they are darker along the top portion. I am not familiar with all types of clowns (yet, lol) so I am only going by what I have seen in photos/videos... Aren't the percs usually darker than the o's?

Tried doing the Public chat again here at work.... to see if maybe it was my computer at home, maybe a firewall issue or something preventing me from using the chat? But still nothing happens... any ideas of how to get signed up or approved to use it? Is it maybe that I don't have enough points under my belt yet? Thanks guys - have a great day! (picking these guys up tonight) along with Rod's food as they have apparently been eating it like crazy (also grabbed cyclopeeze ) My breeder pair is doing well - so far so good Eggs have thinned from what they were originally - but I will be very pleased with whatever wants to make it into the world I split my rotifers this morning... having some in several different containers, as well as a few bottles in the cooler as indicated... also have some as a backup being shipped

The chat works over the same protocols as the rest of the website so I doubt that is the issue. What browser are you using? That may play a role but other than that as long as you are logged in you should have full access to the chat. We don't do any of that point or post based stuff to get access to things here.. All Breeders are created equal!

Ok cool..... so then I will check my browser... odd but will work on getting it corrected on this end...in the meantime, lol... thank you again guys for fixing my videos Well... right now I am acclimating my picassos, taking some extra time. In the video above u can see how well they have been getting along... they must not have liked the ride home in the bag. They are in a container, and circling / darting each other- like fighting, then they stop- then again... just a 'tiny' bit worried they may over exert themselves...I am placing them into the 20L for tonight, and will most likely swap them and the broodpair, putting the babies in the biocube, and the pair in the 20L.. which is next to the larval tank, rots and phyto... that will take some switching...so not happening tonight. I brought ghome some Rod's as that is what the babies were being fed at the store. Hoping for the best with these little guys Pray for me The brood pair look good, healthy, eating as usual. The eggs have thinned as mentioned before, but still a decent amount to practice with So again am hopeful with this as well.

Don't worry. The little ones will spaz out a bit in the bag, it's normal. Acclimate them like normal and you should be fine.

Thanks- was getting abit concerned, as they bonded so well in the LFS! Literally the little guy made his way over to the other and hasn't left each other's side since I put my deposit down So I was SO happy, thinking bonding would come much quicker...then the little spaz spat ,lol Ok- adding them to the tank in abit... making sure everything is done with abit of extra time, as the LFS told me they are 'more sensitive' then regular ocellaris -?true or false on this one...not sure. Anyway- acclimated for about 2 hours... slow drip - the tank is good to go... I have 2 small live rocks with some xenia, and a pvc cup (thought I had a pot, but no terra cotta to be fiound when I got home, darn!) will get one tomorrow... and a couple sprigs of macro... just a starter tank- will change it up once I move them to the biocube... I am looking for an anemone for them..

(? still playing around as spent more time playing with fish/tanks last night than working on the browser issue, sorry....so hopefully the video above is there,lol) Today is Day 8-Post Spawn of my Ocellaris Pair. I have actually been looking more into what B. Fenner mentioned...and in Martin Moe's book, the pics of the wild Ocellaris and Wild Perc...meshed together do seem like they would resemble my pair...... so........to be called Percularis from this point? Anyway.....they are doing well.. gave them a bit of the Rod's food last night also... female gobbled everything up right away..male has not. I am eagerly awaiting my eggs to hatch...and looking forward to using the rotifers I have been storing... (side note on the otohime.....for the baby picassos.......which bag size would you guys recommend,as still small-about an inch in size... Bag A and B seem small for them.....but what size food grain to offer to these lil ones? They did not eat alot last night, as they were fiesty coming out of the bag ride... got up a couple of times throughout the night to check on them, (yeah...lol...I do that ) and this morning they are both swimming around when I turned on the kitchen light. So, stick with just the Rod's food?

(lol....don't look at my thumb, slammed it into a drawer, and can't get rid of the stupid bruise,haha) Thinking -for some reason- that the one with the WIDER white pattern will end up being a female... does that one seem just a smidge bigger in size to you?

May I suggest that you split this discussion as you're talking about two different pair of fish here?

(sorry- I will not post about the picassos in this thread again, my bad - just kind of threw them in the mix, wasn't sure I was allowed to post a separate journal on them as they aren't breeding (yet), just got caught up in the excitement of it all, lol -- Point taken and thanks

No problem at all, it was just starting to get confusing. You can start a journal for any pair and you can always post general breeding questions in the general breeding forum.

It's not a problem at all to start a journal on them. In fact we think it's a good idea to start a journal even when you are in the planning stages or just got a pair. It helps to give readers later on a better idea of eveything that you did.

Ok everyone- trying to keep this updated... so , lol, have not gone to bed yet, I am DEAD tired... so you will just have to excuse any typos- as the screen is a blur by now, lol. Turned lights OFF around 11:30pm...... finally done hatching around 1:15am. The eggs had been dwindling down over the past week.. odd... but as mentioned earlier, can either be stress on the parents, or the eggs weren't viable, or it is just weird, lol. SO- as of tonight, er.. um.. as of this MORNING, lol - I have only a small group of 21 + 1 stragler, seems though he is hurt as is just acting weird. So- added some brood stock tank water to the new tank. I then added numerous rotifers, and about 2 shot glasses of phytoplankton,. turned the bubbler on, the heater on, and let it run til all the eggs were hatched. I then topped it off with another dose of rotifers...just to be on the safe side. I covered the top, about 4 inches above the tank where the shelf is I put a piece of black paper..as someone mentioned they are attracted to the light. WISH ME LUCK and SUCCESS Guys! Please walk me through something you read that I am doing wrong Ok- too tired, gotta go, have a great night!
