Nice pair. I’ve always liked their distinctive foreheads.

I had a pair of those once...they were way more gold/orange than whats in your pic...maybe they come from different regions..

LargeAngels · 12/22/2018, 01:04 PM

Very nice.
They come in all sorts of variants from light to completely black.

Thanks everyone. If I’d had more tanks I would have bought several pairs. My wholesaler can get these from the Marshall Islands on a regular basis now. I have 35 tanks. My move to my new location has been postponed until February. I expect to be running about 100 tanks by the end of 2019. This is a very young pair. I expect the colors to intensify as they mature.

A short video of the tricinctus when I first got them. They've grown fast in a month and are eating everything offered. https://youtu.be/3b7LgdbNy4Q

Nice pair. Do you mind me asking where they were obtained? Thanks

Love them!!! Especially in the striped haddoni! Very natural.

Planetmacro · 01/05/2019, 09:01 PM

Only recently has haddoni been observed in the Marshall Islands, which extends their natural range. Tricinctus is one of those species which needs to be kept with an anemone, in my humble opinion. Otherwise they are very nervous and difficult to acclimate to aquarium life. This pair was never medicated, is very healthy and growing fast. Since I bought these at a wholesaler the day after they arrived direct from the collector, they were still fat and had not been stressed too badly. As with all my wild caught clowns I start feeding them BBS right away. Newly hatched BBS is a great food, I even feed to to my adult clownfish every day as a supplemental food source.

@ Mad Marine. I bought them at a wholesaler in New Jersey. In hindsight I should have bought several pairs.

Planetmacro · 01/07/2019, 10:12 PM

My female tricinctus is growing fast. Soon I will move the pair to a larger tank.https://youtu.be/zx7Rib9-ggc
