Clownfish babies in my anemone.

So, I recently was lucky enough to obtain some Onyx Perculas from Rod. The parents are stunning and I very much wanted a pair of these tank-bred babies. I got lucky and ordered mine right before Rod announced he'd no longer be selling direct to the public. Phew!

These guys are very, very small. You can find a lot of pictures on my flickr site. But here is one shot where I got both clowns together moments after they discovered my anemone (took them 4 hours in the tank and being "fed into" the anemone. Now they won't leave it!)

The babies and the anemone.  SUCCESS!!!

Aren't they just precious? I just hope that they do well in my tank. =)

Soooooo tiny. Yet so adorable.

 
 

They are incredible.  I’d love to be able to dive and to visit warmer waters where the colourful fish live

I wish I could as well.  I do intend to go snorkling, and I had 6 years of close access to the great barrier reef.  There are times I wish I didn’t procrastinate so much. =/


But I’m sure there’s something in a shade of grey…
Something in between…

Hrm snorkling sounds very fun. Wish there was someone I knew who wanted to go with me!
