Thanks. I did get the LTA from Will at AquaSD. I don't have the Nem any longer, just got too big for my Solana & more so of an issue that it just wouldn't stay still.

I'm hoping they live for many years to come
Hopefully they will be a spawning pair too.

I wish my Black Occelaris would host some Brains, After two years in my 150g....they have only taken to the corner of the tank. They have had many choices but I guess some clowns just aren't meant to be hosted.

Yeah, its amazing how much black has filled in. To me, the more black the better. Can't wait till they begin to spawn. Just a lot of rock cleaning going on but that's it.

I'm hoping to get mine next month. I will most likely be getting them from a local breeder.

Your picasso's are looking great, and nice transition shots.
Looks like you changed out tank and nem.

Lovely looking clowns you've got there. I have a baby that looks a lot (colour wise) like your Nov shots, i hope he fills out as much as yours have.

Thanks Dave. Yes! I did change out the tank & the Nem. Took them out of my Solana & put them in my DT 150 with the Rose Nem. They started breeding about 3 months ago!! That purple LTA would never stop moving!
