Maroon Clown Pair
My maroon clowns, housed in my refugium, needed their pictures taken tonight
So I got the camera out. I tried cleaning the acrylic well, but maybe I neglect that acrylic because it is just a refugium, therefore these are not as clear as my normal pictures, so I apologize for that ... What do you think of my clown pair? They are about 2 years old, or close to it anyway.The pair ... The female ... And the male .... ------------------ MDM ![]() |

I openly admit to not having Joyce Wilkersons "Clownfish" so I don't have the resource to look it up but is the bands changing from white to "gold" any indication of their age?

I have her book but don't have it handy. These fish are about 2 years in my care and they were juveniles when I got them. The female started turning gold about a year ago. She still has not transitioned fully. The male is way later and only shows hint of transitioning to gold stripes.
The sump is a total of 40 gallons with the refugium section holding about 15 gallons of water. They have always lived there, yes. |

Gold bands maroon clown have white bands when young and change to gold as they get older. Dark gold bands indicated older fish even if they as a male and small.

Very beautiful maroon clowns MtDewMan!! I had a pair of Maroon clownfish and the male up and disappeared one day and the large female kept tearing up my DSB so I did not have a sump and returned her to the LFS! They were beautiful fish and miss them to some degree now! Johnny

Thanks for the info on the bands, Minh! I have a maroon pair and my female is bigger and has gold stripes, the male is smaller and his stripes are just a hint of gold. Now I know why.
Thanks again ![]()
