    mine havent, I havent been consistent with them as needed for them to be a consistent breeding pair. They are currently in a QT cause I had a parasitic outbreak. They are happy and healthy now and are doing their little clown dance where they simulate egg laying/fertilizing/fanning the eggs. So once everything is back to normal, I wouldnt be surprised if they start.

    I pick up the other 4 pairs of clowns next weekend from the hatchery, its 2hrs away. The owner is a marine biologist buddy of mine.

    If you gave £40 for them, thats roughly $60 here. So either you got them from the breeder or somebody who knows the breeder. Wholesale they are $20 each here.

    the ones with orange noses are the ones that are not far down the genetic tree from the original pairs of orange ones. The ones I have right now are actually brown and orange which shows they are even less down the genetic tree then the orange faced ones.

    No, just artificial selection hasn't taken the orange completely out of the fish yet.
