Around 2-1/4" long, eats frozen mysis, brine, and Formula One mini pellets. Currently hosts my frogspawn so want it to go to a tank with similar corals for it to host(frogspawn, torch, hammer, etc.) Reason I am selling is because I want to add a pair of perculas to my cube but this fish controls my cube tank and would kill them if I added them. $15 FIRM takes.

Bebo77 · 03/18/2006, 09:57 PM

i think Ken Konadog was looking for one....

therealw00 · 03/18/2006, 10:04 PM

how big is it?

Konadog · 03/18/2006, 10:13 PM

I was told that mine is a black saddle back, but it looks identical to yours. Where in OC are you located and how fast do you want to get rid of it?

J-Bass · 03/18/2006, 10:58 PM

I'm in Costa Mesa and hoping to sell it by this weekend. Tonight or tomorrow would be fine.

hack job · 03/18/2006, 11:46 PM

My black saddle looks like this

Konadog · 03/19/2006, 12:01 AM

hack job, that's the guy! I like the coloring on the tail of your.
Dang fish all look the same to me.

J-Bass, I can't take a fish for a few weeks, just put the new tank into the house and don't want to put any more fish in may holding tank. I hope you find a home for your fish.

Ken I just looked through ur gallery thats not a Black Occ. Its definatley a black saddleblack clown fish...

Sam

EDIT: I spent to much time in ur gallery Ken, you have the most pages of pics Ive seen on RC....I see you found your clown

Konadog · 03/19/2006, 12:09 AM

Sam, some day I need to clean out the old pictures!

cschweitzer · 03/19/2006, 12:23 AM

Black saddleback's second stripe goes onto the top fin/ Black occ do not. their second stripe goes only to the top of the back and does not stretch across the top fin. I have seen misbarred black occ and they are definitely different.

therealw00 · 03/19/2006, 12:28 AM

How big is it? I have 2 black percs I just got from ORA and might be interested in a 3rd...

Konadog · 03/19/2006, 12:29 AM

therealw00, mentioned size in the first post "Around 2-1/4" long"

What mine looks like.

818 · 03/19/2006, 12:32 AM

Beautiful Fish!

therealw00 · 03/19/2006, 01:38 AM

oops, my apologies I totally missed that

oosurfin · 03/19/2006, 04:21 AM

ive been looking for one for a long time. is it male or female? lmk i may make the drive to get it

Wiggawam · 03/19/2006, 10:15 AM

Lmk you addy if you still have him.

J-Bass · 03/19/2006, 03:25 PM

oosurfin, not sure if it is a male or female. I used to have two, but this one killed the other one.

rbdesigns · 03/19/2006, 03:36 PM

If it killed the other one it is probably a female or turning into the female.

818 · 03/19/2006, 03:39 PM

What the heck 15.00 dollars what are yall people in OC waiting for Id get her in a heart beat!

YGPM!

J-Bass · 03/19/2006, 03:52 PM

When I first got them I had them in a 10gal. and the one that died would always chase after this one and keep it hiding behind the rockwork. Then when I moved them to a 20gal., they totally switched roles. This one would terrorize the other, would never let it go near its frogspawn. The other clown just hid behind the rocks. I remember catching them a few times where the clown would bite the other one's fin and hold on to it and drag it down to the bottom of the tank.

oosurfin · 03/19/2006, 04:07 PM

sounds like its the female. unfortunatly i have a female already thats ~3.5in.... its too bad because i went to a shop 2 days ago and a black occ. like that was 89.99 i almost died

J-Bass · 03/21/2006, 10:27 PM

Bump. Still for sale.

J-Bass · 03/23/2006, 11:06 PM

Clownfish is SOLD. Thanks Steve/Laverda!

Chris.

laverda · 03/27/2006, 11:08 PM

Chris
Just wanted to thank you for the clown and let you know he is doing fine. He is getting along with everyone. I let him float in the tank in a perforated clear clear container for at least 24 hours before releasing him. Just wanted to make sure no one was going to get to aggressive. It seamed to have worked, as long as the stay away from the eggs of my mated pair. He/she was in one of my anemones for the first time last night. Not sure what will happen pairing wise. He/she was hanging out with my bigger black clown, but now the two original black clowns are spending more time together. Jealousy I think, has motivated my smaller black clown. My smaller black clown is about the same size as the one I got from you. I may have to find another one so no one feels left out.
Steve

J-Bass · 03/28/2006, 10:27 PM

Great to hear the clownfish gets along with yours Steve and I'm glad it went to a good home.
