oh i didnt realize how it looked till i got him. In the tank i didnt see his face. I just liked his color a lot and wanted to pick him. All the other wyoming whites had the right face shape
I just got him few minutes ago just put him in the tank. He was with a local breeder. He has had these clowns for awhile he posted them last week. So im sure he was eating okay.
lol i didnt know they could have a birth defect on their face. I was looking at all the wyoming whites and others had the right face shape. Didn;t think of looking till i put him in my tank.
okay thanks i just hope hes okay and doesnt die from the birth defect. I never bought small clowns so I didn't know if maybe its jsut how they develop. I had a pair of clowns but the female passed away. Chcked water parameters every day for 2 weeks nothing was off. So i left the other clown by himself for a month now. Decided it should be okay to add another clown. All my other fish are healthy and happy I have no issues with them or my corals.
I think the female may have gotten stuck between a rock or something. I saw her dead in the morning and my clean up crew was already taking care of her behind some rocks. Still sad about it but i cant think of anything else that would have killed it.
I think it would be a good idea to let the breeder know... one to put him on notice if he is knowing, but hiding the fact they have defects. Two, if he doesn't know, he may want to know not to breed that pair if its a common phenotype in their offspring.
okay thank you
i let him know and all he said his thumbs up lol so i guess he know what he was doing and sold me a inbred clown XD. Oh well i guess i gotta watch out with local breeders. Everyone recommended him so i figured all his clowns are safe to choose from.
lol, well you did the ethical thing. I say you go with @Sublime Corals and just tell people its a special edition! I'm sure you will love it like any other fish in your system once it is established.
