Is this "Black Onyx Clownfish'?

I went to my LFS today, he say these are Black Onyx clownfish. Is about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch. So I pick up a pair for $60. So, it's a black onyx?

Thanks,

 

Do you have a clear closeup of the eyes? If they are onyx the black will fill in as they mature. If their eyes are mostly black with very little to no orange they are ocellaris.

See the full black eyes of an occy. clownfish?
If their eyes look like this...

With a black dot in the middle there is a larger chance they are onyx clownfish.
HTH ;D

 

Thank, it only 1/4 to 1/3 inch. The eye is mostly black. But it such a small size now, will the eye change later?

 

I'd say its simply too early to tell. hope you didnt get ripped off.

BTW black ice and a black onyx are two completely different clowns

 

hope not too.. cuz he sell it from his home..

 

I hate to tell you, but those look like normal occy clowns to me. Black Onyx clowns would have a lot of black on them in the middle where the orange is. You just do a quick google image search to see what I am talking about.

 

Most breeders wont sell their fish until they are at least 1" in size. What are you feeding these little guys and how are they eating?

 

I bought my pair for $250. Here's a picture of my female.

Wow amazing fish you have..what kind of camera you used to take the shot?

 

I hate to agree with sticksmith but I'd say you got some average Occ.
Here's my pair, I paid more than $60, a lot more for this pair.


But even pics of fry I've seen that are as young as 24 PHD the black is showing.
