Finally After Months I got My Fish
WEll I think it was almost 2 months Ago I started looking for a Pair of Saddle clowns... Well Travis at Upscales did me a bit better than that... He finally found me not just a Pair but a TRio of saddles... They are soo cute... They just came home and just about jumped into the carpet within an hour of being in the tank.. 
I am soo happy
James

I would say the fish are about 1.5" each... They had 2 larger ones but the Trio was just so cute I had to have them... I was pretty thrilled as they were in a Green Haddoni so I knew they would jump right into mine... They looked nice and healthy...
And yes that Is Sunny.. My 1yr old yellow watchman...

LOL... That would be kinda funny... Most of my other fish are Chromis and Maroon clowns and large Tangs so I doubt that they will be dragging them into the Carpet... A chromis here and there who cares about lol... Its a Freakin TRio of Clowns... That is just sweet...
Thanks agian Travis... Supplied me with a sweet and healthy blue haddoni and a Trio Of saddles

ive seen a family of polymnus clowns in a large carpet, but there were like five or so clowns in the unit. with three clowns, inevitably the third will be harrassed. if you were to throw in maybe two to three more small small saddlebacks....you might get a successful family unit with the dominant female, the male and the unsexed juveniles....sometimes my store gets in the TR saddlebacks with your fish' coloration from ORA, thatd be a good way to insure you get ultra young fish.
good luck though james, i hope you get some breeding out of those!

I hope that the Saddles breed as well as my Maroons... It would be nice... Heck all my SPS seem to be spawning like crazy... Green digi showing up on the other side of the tank... REd table showing up here.. Pocilopora everywhere lol... Now I need my fish to breed

I agree with the meanest clowns comment. Mine would attack me, and they eventually killed there carpet by diving into it...do a search over at RC, there have been a few posts lately on saddles killing anenomes.
