Captive breeding of the rare McCulloch's Clownfish (Amphiprion mccullochi)

Ugly.

 

[stagofdoom]

nifty......still ugly clowns

 

[dustin_P74]

but this is the first time they have ever been breed in the US

 

[ndepratt]

why do clownfish just get uglier?

They're better looking than those new white freaky lookin' things. :lol:
Thanks for sharing Dustin.

 

[dustin_P74]

its also a pretty unique rig they set up for raising the fry

I'd rather put a 12 foot bristle worm in my tank than one of those.

aside from the non beauty. thats really awesome. arent those the ones that were ridiculously expensive?

 

[dustin_P74]

yeah. if they breed regularly it could be great for the hobby as it will drive price WAY down

my thoughts exactly.... though it doesnt mean i will buy one. maybe they will start breeding gem tangs soon :x:

I think that they are cute!! I love all of those misfits.

I have a naked clown. Don't hurt her feelings either she can't help but be different :)

Gem tangs are awesome, I had an opportunity once to get one. They was gonna give a killer deal of only 1200...... for one that was about the size of a half dollar.

It's great to see these advances in the hobby but... Why are all of the expensive/rare clowns so ugly?

 

[dcantucson]

Good thing they are so ugly! That way we don't want to spend a fortune on them!!!

 

[mng777777]

Good point.

Ive always thought the naked percs were pretty cool looking.
