Does anyone have clownfish photos they are willing to share?

[michellejy]

I am setting up an informational website about clownfish and clownfish breeding- nothing major, just a hobby site. I want to include a page with at least the most common clownfish with hopefully a couple of the more rare types included. I'd host any photos on this site so they wouldn't take up your bandwidth, and of course, full credit would be given to whoever provides the photo.

If anyone has pictures they are willing to share, please send me a pm, and I'll give you my email address.

Thanks. :D

[michellejy]

I just wanted to say thanks to toddrtrex and PSam for sharing their gorgeous photos with me. You are both wonderful! :)

If anyone wants to see what I'm working on before volunteering a photo, you are welcome to check the site out. Please keep in mind that I literally started it this morning, so there is a lot of work left to do on it.

Oh, I could also use a picture of a Bangaii Cardinal if anyone has one.

[Flighty]

I have some pics on my picasa page that you can use if you want.

[Toddrtrex]

Glad I could help. :)

[michellejy]

Flighty, thank you. I needed a Picasso picture.

You all are the best. :)

Michelle,

I recently bought some naked ocellaris, but have yet to take any photos of them. I also have a "normal" (finger attacking) ocellaris and an orange skunk (they are all in different systems.) Once you get a little further along on your site, if you need photos of them just PM me to get me off my butt and take them.

I am also in an LFS regularly that has a pair of breeding clarki and sometimes stocks other clowns. I could always snap some pics of them if you'd like. The woman who owns it is pretty nice and gives in to most of my strange requests!

[michellejy]

I only have the black and white ocellaris, so the naked one and normal one would be great. toddrtrex had some clarkii photos, so I won't make you go into the fish store and have the woman think you are more crazy. I appreciate the offer though! :)

[Aquatics UK]

Fell free to use the photo of my Allards clownfish in my gallery.

[michellejy]

That's a great picture. Thank you.

[basser1]

Sent you a pm. ;)

[michellejy]

Thanks for the pic, basser1! :)

[Sculp1n]

It's not the best pic but here you go-

You can find some of my pictures here. You can use them if you want
http://home.grandecom.net/~mnguyen/

[michellejy]

I am honestly amazed at the beautiful pictures you all have... and jealous of your tanks too! :D

[michellejy]

Minh- if you are ever ready to part with any of the clowns in those photos, please let me know. Those are some of the most beautiful clowns I have ever seen.

[michellejy]

I'm bumping my beggar post. :)

I have some stunningly beautiful photos of a few types of clownfish thanks to the lovely people who have volunteered, but I could use several more, including the most common types.

So please, please, please. :D :D :D

[michellejy]

It's still very early in the process, and you will be able to see that I have A LOT of work left to do. However, since so many people on here willingly helped me out, I wanted to show you how I'm using the great photos you have provided.

If you don't see something you sent me yet, it will turn up on the gallery page, breeding page, or one of the individual species pages eventually. I don't think I received a single photo that didn't look like it was taken for a magazine, and I'd have to be crazy not to use them all!

Thank you all so much, and if you see a species photo that I'm missing and would like to contribute, it would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.greenreefing.com/ClownfishSpecies.html

[michellejy]

For those of you who so generously shared photos with me, I used your screen name here as the photo credit. Please let me know if you would prefer to have them credited in some other way (real name, personal website, etc.)

Thank you all again.

[elegance coral]

I hope this works. I have quire a few clown pics of several different species. If you have trouble viewing my pic's let me know, and I'll try something else. http://profile.imageshack.us/user/elegancecoral

Thank you again. :)

that looks so awesome. It doesn't even look like its in a fish tank.

Thanks :-)

[OrionN]

tripicana,
This looks like a mix pair, A. ocellaris and A. percula. Need to see a better picture of the darker clown to be sure

[tripicana]

it was a mixed pair. the female was the darker perc, and the male is the lighter ocellaris. unfortunately, the female jumped out of the tank 4 months after they started spawning.

[OrionN]

Here are a few more pictures of my breeding A. percula Onyx pair hosted by my pair of H. malu, one green and one purple

Thank you! I wanted a side by side comparison of Picasso vs. misbar to demonstrate the difference, so this will be perfect.

Thanks for the misbar picture. :)

[michellejy]

I just wanted to thank everyone again for all of the amazing pictures. I have a long way to go with work on the site, but the beautiful photos you have all provided have made it look like much more than a hobbyist site. I'm really amazed by how talented and generous you all have been.

If you don't see your photo in use yet, I promise I will get to it. I have so many high quality pictures, that I've been able to scatter them throughout the site, and I've been able to use unique pictures on each page. It's so much more than I expected!

Thank you again.

Holy cow! That bicinctus looks like a giant next to the onyx! :)

Thanks for the great photos of clowns most people never even see.

[michellejy]

I could never turn down a black ocellaris photo. As you can probably tell, I'm a bit partial to them. :D Thanks!

Hehe you have good taste in clownfish. Here is my photobucket of them if you need anymore pictures http://s675.photobucket.com/albums/vv111/ocellaris123/

tntneon- I'm so jealous. My torch completely died this week. I think it was too irritated from being brushed by the fish constantly.

vtysl- Those are cinnamons, correct? A cinnamon was my first clownfish, and I've always loved them. I have very dark tomato clowns now that have similar coloring to your clowns.

thx michellejy ,
hopefuly mine won`t die to , clowns are just hosting the torch now for a month.
and they brush the torch a lot , it seems sometimes like it is somekind of drug to them:)

greetingzz tntneon:)

[michellejy]

I actually don't think it was my clowns. I made the mistake of positioning the torch in front of a rock that had a hole in it. That suddenly became THE favorite place in the tank of all of the fish. :lol:

[WDLV]

Michelle,
I see that you have used a lot of my pictures on your site. I take that as a compliment, but I don't recall giving my permission to use them. That said, I am giving it you now. You may continue to use them so long as it remains a non-profit site.
If I gave you permission and forgot, sorry for that confusion. I only recall ever giving one or two people that authorization and that was on another site.

I would however prefer that you use my real name or my handle for photo credit rather than my site name.
If you like I will refer you to my photobucket account and you can look through those pics to see if there are better examples you'd like to use. If so, shoot me a PM.

Regards,
Walter D. LaRoque V

[michellejy]

Walt, I promise you gave me permission either through pm here or through a pm or a thread I posted on the rare clownfish site. I'll be happy to look it up and send you a link because I would never use anyone's photos without their permission.

My other computer had a nasty virus, and my coy of Photoshop fell victim to it. As soon as I find the disk to reinstall the program, I will correct your name.

I'll send you a pm shortly on here or rareclownfish, depending on where you originally gave me authorization to use your photos since I honestly don't remember which it was anymore.

[WDLV]

It must have been on RCF. No need to provide proof. It does ring a bell now. Thanks for clearing that up.

[fishkid6692]

Thank you for the beautiful latz photos. (I thought I had posted a thank you before, but I am apparently senile.)

I just want to thank everyone again for being so generous with their photos. Many of you have offered pictures that could be in books, and I am very grateful that everyone has been so willing to share.

I'm still waiting for replacement software so I can get the site updated again, but I will definitely be using more of these.

So again, thanks so much. It is very appreciated.

[WDLV]

I will be receiving another thiellei tomorrow. So hopefully ill have something new to share.

Pm'd a few more to you.
Thanks for using shots sent earlier, and feel free to check my gallery if there's anything there you can use feel free.

[michellejy]

I can't believe how great the shots you all keep coming up with are. Thank goodness I don't have to rely on my own photography for this because it would look like my two year old took all of the pictures. :D

Thank you again. :D
