Went driving today with the family and shopped 3 of our local fish stores. The same LFS that I got my first 2 naked clownfish from (3 if you count the toally naked one that died on the way home) had some more!
They had 4 total and 3 of them had some markings like the 2 I have in the pics above but the 4th one was (gasp) Totally Naked! I had to have him/her!
So if you are squemish, easily offended or just don't like aquatic porn then don't look!
The damn cleaner wrasse harrased the little guy so bad till he dove into the Carpet anemone and was so stressed he could not free himself. Before the carpet anemone could eat him I rescued him. I placed him in the fuge and held the little guy in my hand for about a half hour until he passed. He actually died in my hand. Ever seen a grown man cry? I did. Not because of the $30 I lost but because I really loved the little guy.
I am not getting any more naked clowns until that blasted Wrasse is out of my tank! The carpet Anemone is gone today as I sold it to my mother. I am getting a 7-8" sebae anemone tomorrow for my semi naked clowns. No More Carpets for me and never again will I have a Cleaner wrasse!
I won't kill the wrasse when/if I can catch it even though I would love to....I just can't do that to an animal but I will make sure whoever gets him knows his attitude.
My wife told me I should let the carpet anemone eat the clownfish after he died but I could not stand the thought of it. He has a nice plot of ground in our nicest flower bed where the Red Fern Grows.
