I was thinking FJW then I thought maybe you had got them form eith City Pets since he is always getting unusal clown fish in. I got my True Percs from Dennis "FJW" and they are something else. I can practically scop them up in my hand evrytime I put the Nori sheet on the clip in the tank they just tear it up.

You got yourself a pretty pair.

love the patterns on the clowns. They look great and I am sure will get better with age and care.

Congratulations.

Thanks!! Got them at my LFS, FJW in Houston. The owner Dennis has what you might call a clown fetish... Hahaha

Donnie gets some pretty cool clown in, but typically not the high-end stuff.

And yeah, clowns are crazy like that, even when I have seen them in the wild on Philippine reefs you can just about scoop them up in your hand, they will swim right up to your face mask.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment! Good luck on that convincing...

By the way, I confirmed with my LFS today that these are Sustainable Aquatics fancy snows. I wasnt previously sure who the breeder was.

Thanks jt!!

One thing I had never noticed until I snagged these pics last night was the "running paint" streaks of black behind their gills, that's pretty cool!

Thanks for the comments, I think I am getting better with my macro lens now after playing with it for a couple months.
