Heres my mutant perc:
http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii150/Ganrin/clown.jpg

I call her a mutant because shes missing her right pelvic fin and her right gill cover has a small curl.

Took a couple new pics to try to show it better.
From the left she looks normal, and pretty sharp I think.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii150/Ganrin/clown3.jpg

From the right her head is slightly off center and the gill curl and missing fin show.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii150/Ganrin/clown2.jpg

Shes still a pretty nice looking clown and I have no intention of trying to breed her.

Back to the color question, I have had light orange and dark orange clowns and even had them fade and darken. It seams to be to some extent dependant on the light they are under. Almost like they are getting a tan as they get darker. My clowns under Metal Halides get darker. The ones under lower wattage and less UV get lighter. And yes, diet and genetics play a part as well.

I have had these two for about 10 years now. I was just a teenager when I bought them for $72! They have been through a lot; life in a 10 gallon tank, a move to college, two apartment moves, and finally a move to my 120 reef that they have been in for about 3 years. They lay eggs all the time but I have never done anything with them.

Picture of them in their 10 gallon tank back in May 17, 2002

These are my new solomon isl percs, I posted them before. The female who came to me verry sick has gotten much better.

She has taken to lounging in my big feather duster. She spends all day in it , I cant stop laughing . You would think she was dead she doesnt move a muscle and dusty doesnt seem to mind.

Sorry they are so bad, but you get the idea.

Great clowns everyone !

bleeding black is an ocellaris trait not percula. Frowny face is pretty much all Percula as well...

Example of percula with no black bleeding only solid black and the exact same frowny face.

just the opposite

Ocellaris often have dark pigment mixed with orange, the border between black and orange is normally better defined on a Percula.

Im judging that fish to be Percula based on the pattern and facial features and eyes all looking mighty percula to me.

I dont know what i wanna do. I want a pair of true percs. Should I return this one and keep looking. It seems nuts it swims back and forth like a maniac and the true perc seems more mellow.
The only time they hang out is when I am trying to take a pic. Both of them will swim right infront of my lens and not move and block me

I still think that one is a false perc. I thought the black needed to be thicker. I'd trade him in for one that looks more like the other one. just my opinion

I have had these two for about 10 years now. I was just a teenager when I bought them for $72! They have been through a lot; life in a 10 gallon tank, a move to college, two apartment moves, and finally a move to my 120 reef that they have been in for about 3 years. They lay eggs all the time but I have never done anything with them.

So, I was in Ohio on business and found these little guys at a LFS in Ohio. I was told they were WC but they're REALLY friendly. If I want to catch them all I have to do is put a deli container in the water and they'll pretty much just swim into it. I put the dominant pair in my rack that's been under hypo and formalin (new nigripes) for a few weeks now. The subserviant pair went into a coral tank by themselves.
Both pairs got prophylactic treatments while I was still in my hotel room in Ohio!

well that one we had a hard time judging if it was a true perc or not. I am taking it back to the store..at first they seemed like they got along..After the other got settled in and hosted the frogspawn with the True perc. it wouldnt let it near the frogspawn anymore and kept attacking it.
So I just got it out of the tank and the other Perc seems much better now. Its acting calm and nestled into the frogspawn looking content

Well ladies and gents, I hate to burst your bubble, but this one ends up in the Ocellaris club. When looking at the eye you must remember the flash and indirect lighting play tricks on you. I bet if you saw that fish in person the outter ring will be muddy, unlike the crystal clear eye of A. percula.

Atticus
04/13/2008, 12:52 AM
Look at the eye in the upper picture compaired to the lower. This is a great example. The A. Ocellaris eye is a little darker even at this angle.

its mouth is far to well defined to be ocellaris, ocellaris have a smoother less defiined face.


also as much as people are confused by coloration that is pure percula coloration, I have never seen an ocellaris colored like that but i have purchased ORA percs that looked just like that.

Actually, the price was less than either of the LFS. And I split shipping with 3 other people so it worked out great. Plus the pair were both purchased at the same size but one is definitely larger and more dominant so I got lucky. They took to my Frogspawn like well...like fish to water after only 2 days in the display tank.
I am extremely happy with this purchase...

Ahh...I am not that well off. Hehe. I just put a note with the order that one perc be slightly smaller than the other and got lucky. $45 and change all told after splitting shipping.

And the Frogspawn they are hosting in (horrible picture attached) I got from a local reefer friend who went all SPS in his tank. The thing has about 12 heads plus a bunch of baby heads forming. I was giddy as a schoolgirl when i saw them hosting it after only 2 days in the display tank.

My original pair, in which is my avatar, was purchased as juvenile wild caught True Percula Clownfish from
Beyond the Reef http://www.beyondthereef.org/
in Schaumburg, IL. in 2001. Funny enough, just digging through some old receipts I happened to find the original receipt a few months back. Thant was pretty cool!
Anyway, although I may show a little favoritism, they developed into the most beautiful pair of clowns I have yet to see in person. Here are a couple pics.

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff180/kmiec123/Fish%20Stuff/PairedClowns.jpg

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff180/kmiec123/Fish%20Stuff/orgpair2-9-7009.jpg

After a move to Chicago and my first successful rearing of a couple of batches or babies I have a bit of a tragedy. Housing a few pair in some breeder’s nets on my 120 gallon display tank, our cat got on top of the tanks light fixture and knocked on of the breeder’s net into the tanks. With Papa tending to a nest, he wasn’t too fond of the idea of another pair in his tank so he came to fend off the intruders and managed to end up on the floor. (Carpet Surfing)

I then paired up a new male with on of the nicer looking, most black, 8 month old fish I had and it was the cutest thing you ever saw. Mama took right to the new little guy and took him for a tour of the whole tanks showing him all the little nooks and crannies. She then brought him to the nest and persisted in showing him his new job of tending to them, I thought the nuns in Catholic school were bad….Mama was tuff.

That batch went ok and to my surprise, mama never missed a beat and laid her nest set of eggs down as if nothing happened. I figured I would get a few batched unfertilized for a while until the new male matured, but low and behold, the little guy fertilized every egg in that first spawn at only eight months old.
Here are a few pics of the new little stud, which has been with mama for almost a year now.

So an Occelaris is like Nemo, right? No black what so ever? Chances of pairing this one with an Onyx(Rods)? Sorry I'm not in the club yet. I do have a pair of GSM, but that is not Perc also =(. Darn LFS, mislabling.

My male of this pair is actually a Ocellaris/Percula hybrid. I have other pairs. I will try to post picture of them later.

Mona,
BTA sometime can caouse the color of Percula to fade. Various people have documented this. I wonder if your Percula would be much blacker if they do not live with BTA as host. Please do not get me wrong. I think your tank is very beautiful with those Rose and Green BTA and clowns.

I gave them a healthy looking Gigantea but they loved it to death. Everybody wanted to be in it and they kept jamming their heads in its mouth. Their loss. The ingrates.

Speaking for myself, I agree with "beautiful fish" but not "great photography". I must have taken 50 pictures to come up with these few. I am still not happy with the pictures but it is the best I can do right now.
Thanks
For other who posted pictures, there are some very beautiful fish and some great photography. I wanted to added to the thread and to brag about my fish a little.;)

How can you tell?

elegance coral
06/30/2008, 05:34 AM
If you want to be sure, count the dorsal spines. There are basically two dorsal fins. A hard one near the front and a soft one near the back. Percula will normally have 10 hard dorsal spines and Ocellaris will normally have 11. The dorsal fin is also taller in Ocellaris, and they usually have very fine black lines separating the white and orange. Your fish looks like Ocellaris to me.

Susie Q360
06/30/2008, 12:39 PM
I tried counting the spines and got 10, 3 out of 4 times. The black on him looks faded. I'll try to get a better pic.

I agree 100% that it is an A. Occellaris. Taller body shape, eye color, wide white banding, thin black outline, general posture with taller dorsal fin, and the fact that A. Ocellaris are commonly found to break the 10 or 11 dorsal spine rule...
