Yes, the male is dead. There is no hype here.
I now have the female paired with one of its young, and they spawned for the first time last week, but the eggs were all eaten. I am hoping they spawn again. This will also provide further evidence on the fertility of these fish. sanjay. |

ok so from everything ive seen hybrids in the same complex are usually fertile. also the hybrids of melanistic polymnus and sebea, f1s are dark but their f2 offspring are even darker. something to do with a strengthing of the melanistic gene.
a nice dark all black fish with no stripes would be sweet looking, any takers on making this happen?? or how about a a black photon hybridized with a white stripe maroon clown, that would look sweet!!

They are taking quite easily to BTAs, from what I have heard from others.

As you can see from the picture below.. the hybrids are fertile !. This a pairing of the original mother with the hybrid offspring.

Sorry if you mentioned this before. Is the mother the Black ocellaris or the Onyx percula?

Nevermind. I read your article again and got the information I wanted to know. From the picture, the black Ocellaris got to be one of the most beautiful black Ocellaris I ever saw. Sorry that you lost him.

so sorry to hear about the male. is all this inbreeding going to have some adverse effects? just curious as a very naive fish person.
My pair have been doing really well now for 2 months. They've of course ignored the BTA and host the hard corner of my bare bottom glass tank! I'm not sure why, but both have large protruding chins, that are often white. Looks like a tooth coming out or something. It could be because they're rubbing constantly against glass? Anyone else have pictures or know of theirs having strange chins? This is when I first got them 2 months ago. Since then their bodies have become completely black with white stripes, with only the bottom fins and faces holding orange. |

My photons are going strong and look great, but they won't take to the BTA. Gonna try LTA or haddoni next.

tufa, you have pics? By the way, I've never had a pair of clowns host an anemone. They act like nothing is different, and even preferred to host a power head in one circumstance. crazy clowns, clowning around..

i just stumbled upon this thread here.
ive got a pair like yours sanjay except the male is black onyx from bali and female is black and white oc... my first batch at 6 months is starting to color up now and it looks like they may get to be the same colors as yours. I have heard of a clown called photons but did not know what they looked like.wow congratulations they are beautiful.. if my coloration comes out to be the same as yours would it be ok to call them photons or must I call them something else thanks vic |
