Unique Clown Fish Breeds

[fat walrus]

but colors and patterns are a survival trait. in most cases, they represent dominance itself.

Anybody have any luck finding that site? would love to see it

no, sorry, i've been looking for it though

i do have a different opinion and respectfully let me say it is true that that man cannot force a species to crossbreed, but we are certainly a key player. i believe that nature created one dog, Canine Lupis and man bred it into different species based on their perception of perfection or their needs. the "purebreeds" are a creation of man, not nature......and it is again man through his travels and interactions that allowed the "mutts" to be created. the abilitity that nature have is that it will always find a way to procreate. the failure to control the waste water of one public aquarium in monaco created a worldwide panic of the the takeover by caulerpa taxifolia. california is right now under attack by hundreds of non-native species that are competing with or overtaking natural species. the simple african bullfrog has now just about wiped out the leopard frogs and american bullfrogs from california, neveda, utah, arizona, and new mexico. the african tilapia has caused extreme environmental and economical setbacks to some south american countries. the california waterways are at this point choked with african lotus and asian snails. i bet each and every one of the items that i mentioned involved people that really believed their actions were just, but in the end it is man who wants to bring nature home and it is up to nature to overcome his stupidity. we must remember that blessed with the greatest intelligence on this planet, we are also the guardians of it's future. what if more than one person brought "one"?

You are talking about the Introduction of a species into a non native environment. We were talking about the crossbreeding of species. Two different topics. But I do agree with all ylur points on the interdiction problems.

that is a fair answer. i understand your point...........i am just preaching caution the we should not be arrogant enough to overestimate our ability to control nature and its ability to prove us wrong.

I heard the same podcast. It is actually a fungus and is affecting amphibians globally.

[V]

yup, thats the one!

[Rob]

... It is actually a fungus and is affecting amphibians globally.

Dick, you can hide out at my place.. we'll protect you..

[wildeone]

Well I like my clowns just as they are. I think we as humans fail to see the beauty that is before us and tend to think we need to tweek on things to make them better, maybe it's our nature.

[CarmieJo]

Maybe we will have to agree to host Dick at our houses one by one. Just think how much we'd learn and nice our tanks would look.

but we need to sterilize and quarantine him each time so he does not spread this amphibean fungus.

good heads up Rob. just make sure you have live food available in case Amphibious will not take frozen or prepared.

[Rob]

Here's a pair of ORA picasso's I had that didn't make it ;(.



Though I have to say, the picasso were cool but I still like my percs better. The picasso never seemed that healthy and declined evry quickly. my percs have much better color than the ORA ever did. Wonder if it has anything to do with the breeding / trait the picasso have?

[V]

sweet guys, an old post you dug up here. Good stuff, wow to think all posts of this time were this past paced & interesting. I miss the good old days in alot of ways.

[PhotoJohn]

cross breads often will have physical/health issues. Take the liger for example, largest cat in the world but completely unable to survive on its own.

[Phurst]

LFS got the first released pair of ORA Snowflake clowns a few weeks ago. $900 for the pair:

[PhotoJohn]

900 holy crap that is soooo not worth 900

[lReef lKeeper]

try contacting Inland Aquatics Homepage as they have been successful at breeding 2 different species. they are calling the Marocelaris or something to that effect.

[V]

Ive played doctor munro for abit whilst drinking something that resembled stale beer & designed my own clowns, ive called them verscairsisms rinoitis.

*walks off whistling*

[Phurst]

ZOMG! That's terrifying!

V, crawl back under your can o' Fosters...
