Double post
Is there any way to tell if a lone skunk is a male/female? I would assume not. Last edited by Clownfishfan; 03/21/2012 at 06:46 PM. Reason: Dp |

I am pretty sure nigripes is out of the equation due its restricted geographical distribution (primarily the Maldives and Sri Lanka).

You may just be right....
What kind of nem would sand/occy share in the wild? How hard are hard are haddoni nems to keep(I know they are as easy a bubble tips)? I know gigantica are really hard but wasn't sure about Haddoni. How often do sandys accept bubble tips as hosts? |

- Where does the orange base color originate? - Where does the consistant white mark at the caudal peduncle originate? - Why don't they seem to get any larger than a male sandaracinos? Mine are the largest I've seen to date, though Mike thielle's might be the same size and his female has been in captivity for close to two decades. - Why is there no common host anemone between the two purposed parent species?

Think they would settle for a haddoni or rbta ...
Nice pics! I like the second one! I found out that the occy is almost 10 years old and has never had an anemone,do you think it will be hard for it to adjust to one? |

IME thiellei has no problem with BTA. I think if sandaracinos male will go in, the ocellaris will follow. I used to use juvi clarkiis to show other clowns that an anemone was safe.

so i was...
Just thinking if it was sandy x occy I would think these fish would be much more common i in a place like Phuket, Thailand. im not as informed as you but I dont recall hearing of any from there. anemone reef is mostly all occy and pacifica from what i can tell.

I think all theillei that have been traced back to collection came from Cebu.

Arati, I ignored Yuri on the introducing an ocellaris from PI until I realized what you just said. Now I get what he was trying to tell me. It is possible that the regional variants of PI are the reason for this particular hybrids success.

That realization occured to me about a month ago. I don't know of Yuri was saying it for the same reason I finall came to agree. I think his reasoning was more in line with keeping the line pure for breeding purposes.

Is there any particular way I should introduce the occy to the skunk? I was planning on dividing the tank with plastic screening and cut a hole in it so the skunk can go back and forth.

After doing some googleing I found out that pink skunk clownfish can coexist with percs/occys in aquariums with out tearing into each other and wondered are orange skunks the same way? This could also explain why there are more leucs if pink skunks are one of the parents?
If they are similar is it possible that I could keep a occy pair and an orange skunk pair in the same tank and possibly have the orange skunk male fertilize some eggs from the occy's... But then again that's a small if. O yea my tank is a 125 gal,just thought I would mention it before someone asks... |
