Got a new acquisition for the tank, a new Mustard tang currently in QT. Due to it's size, I may place in one of the other tanks.

Wow! Now that is a really cool fish! At first I though you took a black and white photo, but then saw the little splash of color. The cleaner wrasse looks happy to have someone to talk to as well.  |

It looks like you went for the platinum clowns, is that what they are? Please let us know how they do and what your thoughts on them are after you have had them for a little while.

You are right, the are the Platinum clowns from ORA. My original plan was to purchase a pair of Snowcassos from a breeder when the LFS store said that they could get me grade A picassos from ORA. They were going to have to call and check on price and availability, so I asked them to ask about the Platinums. It just happened that ORA didn't have grade A Picassos available, but did have the Platinums. The problem then was that in order to get the Platinums, a minimum order from their regular line had to be purchsed. LFS didn't need any more fish, so to get the 2 Platinums, I had to buy 16 more fish. Sounds like a wise decision...buy 18 to get the 2 I really wanted. I posted the extra fish on our local forum and was able to sell half of the extra fish yesterday, hopefully I will be able to get rid of the rest of them by the end of the weekend.

That name would work too. I had five people over at the house yesterday. 4 of them really liked the looks of them, and the fifth thought that they were ugly. I hope that these clown host a green bubble tipped anemone that I have in the tank. Since they have been tanked raised, it will be interesting to watch and see what they do.

Wow! That was a huge risk you took in order to get these 2 fish. I am glad to hear that the sale seems to be going well so far. Hopefully you will be able to sell the rest of the fish without any problems. If I lived close to you I would definitely come see what you had to offer.

Well, if I thought that I knew how to ship fish, I would make you a heck of a deal. I haven't sold any on the Extreme Misbar Ocellaris clownfish & True Percula Misbar Clownfish. Have an Ocellaris Clownfish mated pair (from their breeding stock) remaing, (sold one pair). Sold all of the nake clowns they sent. The 1 pair of Picasso clowns, (Grade B) were also sold. I probably should have stayed with the basic clowns and not gotten the odd balls......
