Posted	Pecula clowns
31-05-2006 13:33 by tommy	hi there .. i went to my lfs and noticed they had red pecular clowns which looked brighter that the others they had which were yellow/orange .. do both types grow to the same size
31-05-2006 14:01 by dean	simple as this one is tank bred probably from tmc the other brighter colour is wild caught !
31-05-2006 14:35 by Alan	There are colour variants with pecula clowns it may simply be down to that.
31-05-2006 14:37 by Alan	Dean you have failed to consider that in the past many tropical fish have been intensely bred to produce brighter colours it is equally possible the brighter clowns are the tank bred whilst the others are wild caught in factwild caught are pretty weak fish so it is quite possible the drab fish were wild caught.
31-05-2006 14:43 by dean	thats where i will differ with you i worked in a large aquatics shop for years and all the clowns that came in wild caught where much better colours and the duller more yellow ones always came from tmc !
31-05-2006 18:47 by tommy	will they grow to the same size at the wild ones
31-05-2006 18:48 by wayne	depends weather they are Amphiprion percula or Amphiprion ocellaris ,the latter are the brightest ,and as alan says you get colour variants ,you get sub-speices which are ,for instance clowns that are caught 100 mile apart might have different markings and colours .if they look good get em , tmc clowns tend to be a bit wishy washy , and dont normally like anemones.
31-05-2006 18:50 by tommy	what is the diffrence between Amphiprion percula and Amphiprion ocellaris
31-05-2006 18:57 by wayne	ocellaris have darker orange and have more definded black out lining, ps i got some large hermets if you interested 2-2.5" for 4.99 each red/orange leg
31-05-2006 23:47 by deejdave	Other way round mate, percula are brighter and have more disdinct black marking, usually cost more too.
01-06-2006 22:09 by wayne	thats what i meant, that why people call em proper percs
