Maroon Clownfish

[Tetra1]

I just purchased my first fish for my tank, I love my maroons so I got one. He is sooooo beautiful and so far so good. I was just wondering if any of you all have experienced your fish loving to swim in the currants. He has a swimming pattern that is so much fun to watch and he loves swimming in my heavy currant areas. I was just wondering if any of yours do this?
:question:

Mine do. Well... one does. I have a male and a female. The male just kind of hangs back in the rocks. The female is all over but she'll sit right in the front of the fan and swim in place. They're so fun.

 

[the reef kid]

Yeah, mine are pretty much the same as Erin's

Congrats and good luck with her. Maroons are mean as heck. :)

Yes they are! Be prepared to get bitten...often. They can be pretty territorial and will see your hand as a threat.

 

[the reef kid]

Lol I have to literally hit mine... and they keep coming back for more...

Thanks to everyone, I have never had a mean maroon and this is my second go round with them. I put my hand in the tank and it just ignores me and goes on about it's business. Maybe some are different than others? Thanks for all of the comments. Everything is going swimmingly!

Tetra, wait till it grows up and becomes a female XD

mine are completely different, but thats because they have an anemone each. they spend most of their time biting my damsel when he comes close to the nem

It's nice cuz it's a wimpy little male. Bigger ones, especially the females are the really mean ones.

exactly, my black and white clown decides to attack me! she is a big fella though

The males can/will be just as mean, it's probably just not mean yet because it hasn't claimed an area in the tank yet.

 

[the reef kid]

Really? My male is a little wuss...
