[modf1000]

just starting up a 14 gallon biocube. can somebody recommend me some fish to put in it?

what do you think of putting a pair of platinum clowns?



thanks

clowns should be fine but thats all i would put in there besides small clean up crew & maybe a tail/twinspot blenny

thanks what do you think would be the best anenome for a platinum clown. cause i want the fish to actually swim in it. I see a lot of clownfish that dont swim in the anenome

Found this list for perculas

Leathery (Sebae) Sea Anemone (Heteractis crispa), Magnificent Sea Anemone (H. magnifica)
Giant Carpet Sea Anemone (Stichodactyla gigantea), Merten's Carpet Sea Anemone (S. mertensii)
May adapt to Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) and other anemones in aquariums.

IMO a anemone would not do the best in that size tank with stock lighting, and the salinity swings

My Platinum love RBTA and Duncan, Onyx and B/W love macro algae Green Grape, True Percs love RBTA.

It a sense anything can happen.

Just peoples opinions... Do you think i should do a pair of platinums of a pair of true perculas?

That's depends on what you like.
If you want to see how stunning a pair of ~adult Platinum in person, you are welcomed to come by Flushing.

The white is so solid that they look "powderly"(that is feels there is texture on it) and the black is also solid black. The white does not look the same as the white on a pair of Picasso or Snowflake even both comes from true percs genes.

I may be starting to condition them to breed soon.

I cannot answer you because I happened to be a vendor and this is a discussion thread inline with the site rules.

As a consumer, I've only seen the consumer price. They range from $100-$200 on the low side depends on their size and how they look.

For what its worth, If I were even close to buying a pair of clowns, I would wait until Ora has these for sale....

do you know when they will be out?

and how hard is going to be to get it? because im pretty sure everyone is going to jump on it.

The one pictured is the first generation, so after they refine the pattern in the next generation so I think more than a year.

They may sell the ones rejected for this new trait program earlier.

The only species of host anemone that has a chance of doing well in this tank is a bubble tip, which might be a fine choice in a 6+ month established tank. Ritteri (Magnificent sea anemone), all the carpet anemones (Stichodactyla spp.), sebae, etc. get much, much too large and are much less forgiving. I would avoid all of these other species like the plague in that tank.

Some corals such as the Euphyllia spp., such as frogspawn, torch, hammer, etc. could be a good choice, look rather like anemones, and are often accepted by clownfish as surrogate hosts. Clownfish are easy to care for; host anemones (other that bubble tips) are much more demanding.

Regardless, be sure to take it slow. I wouldn't add any corals, anemones, etc. until that tank has been up and running well for at least a few months. It really needs time to mature before these sorts of animals will do well.

Articke did say a few months at the bottom, but wingo may be right.
