Rich,

You might want to reconsider them, i believe they are very very mean fish, bite bite bite....I had a maroon clowon, drives you nuts when you put your hand in your tank.......ouch

Sam

What do you suggest? just stick to True Percs?

 

[samksy]

I would just stay away from damn maroon clown, they are mean as hell. Your hand will bleed... Ask any maroon owner, they'll tell you the same thing. As to what fish to put, hmmm.....i dunno, but my favorite fish in my tank is blue hippo and copperband butterfly (this one is kinda hard to keep).

 

[Rborgia]

I definately want a pair of clowns... either Percs or Maroons... I love the look of both. But MAroons have always caught my eye first. The Copper Band is an awesome fish, but really tough to take care of and the tang is kind of big for my 58.

Yeah, i know, that's why i just stated "my favorite" fish in my tank is...lolz
I would go with percs and maybe an anemone.

Thanks for the input Sam... Last thing I want is some blood sucking man eatting MAroon Clown which my wife will freak over. I think I will try and locate a pair of percs and hopefully get them a host.

Thanks

Rich

If you get juvinile Maroons they are great. I just picked one up at Marine Warehouse that is amazing.

They are expecting more in tomorrow.

Oh, I spoke to Sal at NY Aquarium in Mamaroneck and he says that he got some in as well.

Hi,

I say: "Buy the maroon if that's what you like." Clowns, being damsels, might be mean (note the conditional). I have one gorgeous gold striped maroon clown and he is a great fish, amusing, bold -- never bit me once. Fish are like people (or are people like fish).

I have one GBMC in my tank ,Very friendly fish never bit or attack me or any fish in the tank ,.But ive seen other owner have an agressive GBMC bite the hell out of them.so i guess its a hit or miss as well.
But they are beautiful fish !!!

Maroon = Bold / Territorial

Every new addition I added to the tank (fish), he picked at.
Cool looking fish, but not friendly (at least mine wasn't).

When I passed him over to "House" he became a sand stirrer, causing storms.

Welcome to MR "SeaHorseReefer"!
Although it's great to "buy what you like", it's better to know the characteristics of a fish before you place them in your tank.
When having a large amount of rock.....most of the time it's a pain to get them out...:headache:

i have a osc. clownfish and he used to be one of the favorites. untill i added an anemone for the lil bastard. lolz J/k. but he tries to be a big fish and chomp off my hand when my hand is in the tank fixing something. i now have to put a net near him so he stays away from my hand. lolz. doesnt hurt just a scare you get out of it expecting it to hurt. lolz good luck

i have 2 maroon cf and there friendly as hell never been bitten , actually every time i feed them they come near my hand

My Clarki clowns are real cool and never bite at all. Just one suggestion to you whatever clown you buy try if possible to get tank raised ones they are more hardy.
