Clownfish list and pictures: Discussions, picture links, etc.

[kimsie]

Hey - I just wanted to send a 'Thank you' shout out to the Mods who removed the 2 seriously old stickies...

I asked that the 4 year old (and temporarily closed 2 years) Clownfish names and pictures thread (which hasn't hosted the pictures for years either) to be removed... as well as the Breeders Registry thread which also was no longer functional.

Thanks again!

[traveller7]

Hi Kim,

Your welcome ;>)

We should seriously consider collecting some of our clown pic threads into a clown list......but big problem in the past, pictures hosted off RC frequently develop broken links and eventually go stale.

When the pictures are on RC, we can go through and edit them to restore the thread.

Ready to go to work?

:D

[kimsie]

Sure! I'll help! I'll post a thread asking for pictures hosted only on RC... see what I can come up with!

[Toddrtrex]

I have a couple of clown pictures that I could put into my RC gallery instead of my photobucket account, just will have to resize them.

[kimsie]

Great - thanks Todd - I'm compiling some information then I'll get a thread started for pictures...

Good deal, just let me know what and when you need the pictures. :)

[traveller7]

Post picture links and names in the current discussion thread.

I'll insert later them in the first post of the other thread here:

I have some pics I can donate.

Great Ricordiaking! Just post them here and we'll use what we can!

*** Below is a copy of my thread describing what kind of information and pictures we are looking for. This way you can glance here without having to hop between threads. Eventually all pictures and information will be put in the thread that is Sticky'ed at the top... ***


Hi!

So as the title suggests I'm attempting to recreate a quick list of Clownfish Type and Pictures for an RC sticky to replace the old one that no longer functioned...

The problem with the old is that the pictures weren't hosted on RC and therefore couldn't be maintained. Here is what I'll need from you all. If you have pictures of any of the below Clownfish Types - please upload them to RC and post them in this thread. I'll then take the best few pictures of each type and try to compile it all in a few posts that can take the place of the old sticky. (By best I mean most clear, zoomed in... and I'll use as many as I can) I will give credit to each picture as to who's RC username they came from.

If anyone wants to help - great... If anyone has any ideas about what types of information should be included in the list other than... Scientific Name and Common Names just let me know. (Some thoughts are host anemones, color variations, availability...) I'm trying to make this informative but not too much work at the same time!

Anyway - below is a list I've come up with as the types I could find... (Note - I've never heard of some of these so I'm just going off information I could find on the web. If anything is incorrect or should be omitted or included - just let me know!) Please - any corrections or ideas - just post away. Then if you have any great pictures of any of the below that you can host on RC and post - that would be great!! Thanks - Kim

Todd - GREAT pictures - thank you!!!

sk8rreefgeek - GREAT pictures - but can you put them in your RC gallery rather than Photobucket so we can use them?

[traveller7]

fwiw: we'll need to break the the main thread up into multiple posts to support all the pictures.

fwiw2: feel free to post the all the pictures here, but for the first cut, we'll try to focus on the ones that we can also use for species identification.

Okay?

Sounds good! Is there an easy way to make all the pictures a similar size in the main thread? Just to make it look nice? I was thinking just a few pictures for each type of clown.

I think that's perfect! I was thinking once we get a few good ones for a few of the different types we could go ahead and put them in the main thread so people can see what it is we're striving towards... Then as we get the different types done I can post threads listing the ones we still need...

Sound good?

Think that might be hard, as you could see by mine, some had to be different sized to fit in the gallery. It depends on what settings your camera used too. Though I wish they all could be the same size, because that would look nice.

Yeah - I wondered about that. I forgot that it would depend on what setting you took the picture at. Good point. Oh well - wishfully thinking! :)

It doesn't matter - I think this is going to look great in the end...

I agree, it will still look great in the end, and that is all that matters.


Thinking out loud, could set up a photo bucket folder just for this -- just one persons, so that they would all be in one place. Only if they promised not to move anything. That way they could all be the same size. Again, just thinking out loud, and don't want to step on any toes.

I think in theory that sounds great - but I think that's what the original thread did and over the 4 years it was up that just didn't work. People came on and offered to host the pictures - they did and then after a year or so they would expire and wouldn't get put back up. I think the only way for this to really work long term would be to have them hosted on RC.

Please others chime in - I think everyone is just wanting to see this work. Myself I'm open to anything - but based on what Scott said and looking at the old thread - that's why I thought the pics needed to be held here on RC.


Now I'm just thinking out loud Todd! :)

[Toddrtrex]

Oh oh, Kim is thinking, better watch out. :p


But, you have a point, the pictures were re/moved and that is what caused the issue. The only worry I have about using the RC gallery is that the file sizes are smaller for non-premium members. I am really open to anything, just throwing ideas out. :)

I would be willing to host them, I don't plan on going anywhere. (( might even be willing to share the password so that a select few could also be in control. ))

Even with the pictures all spread out in the RC gallery it could be a nightmare rebuilding the links with software change. At least it would be doable with brute force, unlike offsite hosting.

[traveller7]

Over time, we should settle on a standard pixel size for such things, but we can actually recalibrate with link editing as time goes on.

For now, lets gather some representative candidates and shake out some of the folks that can actually take good pictures so I can remove my place holders of lesser quality :D

Nothing wrong with tossing out ideas; keep them coming. Some are sustainable long term, some are not :>)

[kimsie]

Scott - thanks for throwing those in there already! You move fast! :lol:

It looks great so far. Once we get more pictures we can narrow down more of the information to go along with it if we want to.

Who hoo! I'll do some searches later and contact those I know who have posted some great pictures in the past... Who hoo!

Maybe RC can contact the good Drs. and ask them if they would allow RC to use any pics they have taken for their website, assuming they save them. They have very nice, professional pics, like my rubro's...

[kimsie]

Great pictures guys!! Keep them coming!

Scott - What do you think about having a picture of each of the different color variations? If you think we should - then can you add basser1's picasso pair to the perc spot? That might be nice...

criccio - great idea! I wonder who I should try to contact there - but I'll look into it. I think it would be ideal if we had RC member photo's of their own clowns, but maybe until we get pictures of those clowns we could 'borrow' photo's. Hmm - what does everyone else think?

Flyguy - that is a really neat picture - might not be the best for identification - but a really cool one still!

[traveller7]

I'll try to keep up as best I can ;>)

Google has alot of pictures that they say you can copyright most of them are good pictures they just need cropping but they are at the top of a search if you look into downloading these into gallerys and using themhttp://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/114902maroonclownfish-bubbletiplg.jpg

If any of these pics will help you out, just let me know. I can resize them and load them to the RC gallery. I have other clown pics, I'll dig up over the weekend.

Tyler - good idea - but I think ideally it's best if we use actual RC member's clowns. I think it gives a 'real' aspect to the fact that people are keeping these clowns.

Also - that picture is beautiful - but it doesn't really help with any identification purposes since the clown is mostly hidden.


Again - these are just my opinions - anyone else chime in with what they think!

[kimsie]

Elegance...

If you could resize and put into RC this one for sure that would help... AMPHIPRION POLYMNUS

Then - what does Melanistic A. Clarkii mean? Is it just A. Clarkii? I'm not very familiar with these so didn't know what the Melanistic means?

[traveller7]

Melanistic forms would be darker variants of a species.

Sometimes a genetic trait, i.e. Black and White ocellaris, sometimes triggered by hosting in certain anemones, etc., i.e. the black spots when clowns host in LPS, Star Polyps....

Melanism is an increased amount of black or nearly black pigmentation (as of skin, feathers, or hair) of an organism.


And before you go thinking I am super smart, I googled it.

:lol: That pic of the Clarkii in my hand seems to freak out a bunch of people. Sorry about that. She was in a pond so the only way I could get a pic of her from the side was to pick her up. She's fine, I promise.

I think you should add melanistic versions of many of the clown fish species. A newbie with a black Ocellaris may pass right by your pic of an orange Ocellaris, thinking they're not the same species. With some of these fish it will take more than one pic to illustrate what the species looks like. Many of them have several different variations. The Saddle Backs I posted don't look anything like the ones on the Diver's Den right now.

Thanks for doing all this work. I'm sure it will be very helpful when you're done.

Hi Ben,

Some nice pictures.

We are looking for pictures you own, hosted on RC so we can maintain the links longterm, and non commercial watermarks; i.e. user name only.

Thanks for the help.

Limited number of pictures can go into a single post, so I broke it into pieces which should allow us to add variants long term.

elegance coral, Have you tried Irfanview to resize? Had pretty good luck with it maintaining size and quality. Cheers.

Thanks. I just downloaded it. I'm not much of a computer person, so it may take me a while to figure out how to work it. I have lots of pics of clown fish, so I hope I can figure it out soon.

Niky Thanks Niky :)

If I may be so bold, I believe you'll find one of these programs handy for resizing pictures.

http://www.irfanview.com/

I use Irfanview most of the time, but like both. They let you dial the file size of the picture down but maintain decent web quality for those pesky Free Gallery restrictions on Forums :D

Thank you again and have fun browsin' around Reef Central.

Over time, we should settle on a standard pixel size for such things, but we can actually recalibrate with link editing as time goes on.

For now, lets gather some representative candidates and shake out some of the folks that can actually take good pictures so I can remove my place holders of lesser quality :D

Nice looking fish everyone. Where is everyone getting there clowns from? I'm trying to find something different then the normal petstore looking clowns. But would also like to stay out of the expensive cost of something rare looking. Thanks

[WDLV]

People pay the big bucks for things that are rare and unusual.... So, good luck finding the rare and unusual for cheap. I'm not sure they exist unless you catch it yourself. In that case, good luck finding it!

[blownz281]

Well just don't want the normal clowns you see at petstores. Like the black saddle clowns or black Ocellaries clowns.

[WDLV]

Well just don't want the normal clowns you see at petstores. Like the black saddle clowns or black Ocellaries clowns.
You mean you do or do not like the black saddle or black Os? Black saddles usually don't run more than about $35 ea. The Black Os won't generally run you more than about $65 ea.
If you want to get into rarely collected fish like A. latezonatus you're looking at several hundred each. The designer fish like the platinum percs run in the same price range. Natural hybrids are usually $200 + $50. Other fish that aren't particularly high demand that are rarely collected like bicinctus, akindynos and tricinctus don't usually go over about $40-$50 each.

Then of course there's McCullochis that run in the thousands. Omans would probably fetch $6000-$10,000 a piece. Rumor has it that some schmuck wants to captive breed them, sterilize the offspring then sell them to stupid Americans and Japanese willing to pay the exorbitant price. If you have that kind of money just come see me. I'll kick you in the nuts and take your wallet. It's about the same thing especially if they come down with brook or amyloodinium.

[blownz281]

I Like the black saddle clowns or black Ocellaries clowns.

Well then I suppose you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a pair for a reasonable price.

[drstratton]

I just bought a used tank, and it came with 3 clowns. I believe two are common clowns according to my identification guide and I didn't know what the other was until I looked at this site. I now believe he is a Gold Stripe Maroon Clown. I will post pictures of both. Sorry about the water spots. I wiped the tank down but missed a few. Thanks for any input. Rene'

[WDLV]

Looks like GSM and A. ocellaris. Clearer pics would make it easier to be sure they were ocellaris.

[drstratton]

Thanks! I just set this tank up yesterday and it is my first. I am still trying to figure out the best settings to use on my camera for tank shots. My son says I should buy a better camera. Right now I just want to put my money into getting my larger tank set up. Thanks again. Rene'

I have read where "mixed tank" is a misnomer.

It is a fish only with live rock or a reef tank as ocean reef's have fish?

I had to remove four tangs from my 120 reef with 150 lbs of live rock and it was not an easy thing.

If I knew then what I know now I would plan what I was going to put into the tank as more live rock and corals make it very difficult to remove a more aggressive or too big fish later on.

I have one Powder Blue Tang and one Purple Tang as well as one Regal Angel and one Majestic Angel. That is the extent of my large fish although the angels are still only 3 1/2" and the tangs are 4 1/2" and 4" respectively.

Getting to the point. I have a pair of Red/Black "Cinnamon" clowns and a pair of Clarkii clowns which host in all five anemones.

I like my tank as is although the clowns are of the semi-aggressive (the female Cinnamon bit the back of my hand and drew a little blood) species and I could have ordered a large group of perculas which are peacful.

I have two red rose and three green bubble tip anemones which are the anemones most likely to stay near where you "plant" them on the live rock.

The Regal Angel eats soft corals etc. and the Majestic Angel ate all my mushrooms and picks at the live rock etc. like the Regal.

[yellojello]

I Like the black saddle clowns or black Ocellaries clowns.

I think I got lucky. 6th Ave Aquarium in San Francisco is a funky shop, you pick and net your own fish. Anyways, they had these guys for $7.99 each and they were the exact ones I've been looking for. But I don't find these guys too common in my other LFS because I've been looking around. Maybe they aren't that rare (high price), but they are "rare" because many LFS don't stock them haha. Liveaquaria don't have them in stock, but it shows $25 each on their site.

I was about to spend $100 for a pair of ORA Black Clowns because I couldn't find these guys. Most of the yellow/black type I have found are Clarkii's, and I find them too fat for my liking.

If I could go back in time I might have started with a large school of black O's, false perculas, or some other peaceful clown species to go with my Bubble Tips instead of a breeding pair of Cinnamons and a pair of Clarkiis which are beasts. The former being the most beastly. Both pairs are semi-aggressive like my two tangs and two angels along with six yellow tailed damsels, three four striped damsels, and one blackmouth damsel as well as a pair of six lined wrassses.

The main question would be could a large school of false perculas hold there own with my semi-aggressive fish.

What is the latest? I see some of the more unusual species have submissions but have not been updated???

In fact, if you are looking for a permanent home for these pictures; I have been looking to update my home page with some better images. I know there are better photogs out there than myself.

[Costa reefing]

The only things i can think of are mixes of designer Occ. and Percs and some hybrids too that came from Sustainable Aquatics
Snow Onyx-Amphiprion percula “Onxy” with A. ocellaris “Snowflake”
Black Ice-Amphiprion ocellaris “Darwin Black” and A. ocellaris “Snowflake"
Fancy White-selectively bred “Fancy” form of A. ocellaris with the A. ocellaris “Wyoming White”

Some misbar Maroons from ORA

And captive bred Latezonatus from Karen Brittain with full barring

I meant more along the lines of updates to the "Clownfish List and Pictures" rebuild as it pertains to currently accepted individual species.

[Costa reefing]

Ohh, woops. I saw your post where you confused on a hybrid, I believe it was the mocha clown, and thought you where confused on some of the names being given. To be honest I am confused on some of different names being given to the same clowns, the only difference being which facility they came from. Well thats enough space taken up by me, just wanted to clarify.

carry on...

[WDLV]

N.P. Thanks.

[deangelr]

Any chance we can get our list and pictures thread updated? This thread completed would really be a great resource.

hi i have just had a wipeout of fish with ich im going to leave my tank fish free for 3 months to make sure any parasites have died off, but after the 3 months im thinking about putting a few nems in tank along with some Maroon clowns to see if they breed what advice can you give me on nem selection. My tank is a juwel vision 450 bow front tank with a 100 litre sump with miracle mud and chaeto and skimmer. Thanks

They like it high on the rocks with high light and strong current.

Looks like this one has all three and a clownfish!

Presently have two red rose bubble tips at five to eight years old with a 10 year old pair of mated Tomato Clownfish. Mrs. Tomato just laid a batch of eggs and she raced across the 60 inch 120 tank from the bubble tips on the left end to my hand in the right end to give me a nip. Her nips draw blood.

One True Carpet going on two years who lost its Clarkii hosting in it due to a Pimafix killing. When I keep anemones, I almost feel that I am obliged to have at least one Clownfish hosting in them.

[Finsky]

I am in the process of setting up a 29 gallon tank with live rock, crushed coral, a bank of 4 X 31 watt T5 HO from Coralife onto a metal stand with room for a 20 long or another 29 on the bottom for raising fry. Right now I have one 1 1/4" Gold Bar Maroon tank raised.

I did think of trying an ORA cross between a Maroon and some other clown.

Any thoughts or should I go with the Gold Bar Maroons for breeding?

[bangaiimaster]

If you still need pics I get my new camera tomarrow once done over next few days on tank maintenace I got Clarkii's , Fancy oc's mated pair think they actually true percs though lfs called them fancy oc's if not true percs I do have percs in a 55. So if need those for your thread shoot me a message I'll get them for you. after do my round of maintenace which takes a few days.

Nice looking Saddlebacks. I have been admiring them at Petco recently.

My personal choice is to keep all my clownfish with anemones.

When I see my 10 year old pair of regular spawning Tomato clownfish sleeping in the anemone at night, there is something that tells me that they are happier than without an anemone. I also believe that a happier clownfish pair will result in healthier and higher quality offspring.

Love this pic!

Here is a pic of my clowns with one of several Rose Bud Anemones.

:fish1::fish1::fish1:

[Finsky]

A very good looking couple.

[BuckeyeFrags26]

I appreciate it.they are but the female will bite the heck out of anything. Super territorial

[chitwnbdby]

Love this pic!

those are absolutely stunning anemones. are those two different haddonis? they dont sting each other?

I just saw a pair of "balloon Clarkiis". Has anyone seen or have experience with these new tank bred guys?

[nanoreefer1000]

I just saw a pair of "balloon Clarkiis". Has anyone seen or have experience with these new tank bred guys? Likely similar to Balloon Ram Cichlids, bred like stubby clowns. They lose some vertebrae and suffer from health issues. I'd stay away.

Maroon clownfish are Premnas not Amphiprion.

Yup. My bad. Thought I had copied the correct thing.

Shoulda been"
Premnas biaculeatus (I am not sure on biaculeatus though)

[Aquarist007]

Fire clowns...they seem to be doing fine together in a group of 5.
Is this normal for this species?

[Cpetroski15]

Could anyone tell me if the "gladiator" type of clown name is a percula or an ocellarius or is it either just with the "helmet" look on their head

Haddoni and Gigantea do not sting each other. They may shade each other if they are too close together.
That picture show two of my Haddoni

Could anyone tell me if the "gladiator" type of clown name is a percula or an ocellarius or is it either just with the "helmet" look on their head It depends. There's an older Proaquatix (I think) lineage that's called gladiators that are occies. But other types of occies and percs can have the helmet look.

Here's A. tricinctus.
