    Just picked up a pair of true perc clowns from PNG for my tank! They are the first fish in it. So exciting! They are very active little guys, and the one on the bottom seems to be the dominate one of the pair. I'll take another picture later with the lights on.

    I think you just gotta let them fall in love on their own <3.

    Nice clowns!! The first fish are always so exciting. Great pic of them too!

    Awesome pics, very clear. What type of camera and lens are you using? I just love clownfish. They are great fish to have. Congrats. As far as them becoming a mated pair, it's just a waiting game and letting nature run its course. You'll know it's happening when you see one of them turn sideways to the other and quiver like it's having a seizure. That's it showing a sign of submission to the other and they are on their way to becoming a mated pair.

    Thanks, I have my second camera sitting by the tank at the ready! lol Its a Canon Rebel XTi with a 100mm 2.8 Macro lens. Yep I'll be watching them closely for any signs of how their relationship is going. :)
