Buddy found new fish in his tank. New never before captive breed or hybrid?

So what did they taste like?

Smelled like chicken but taste like fish.

This is why I love this hobby. Always something new happening by accident.

 

[Singspot]

Yes he does

Any update on the babies?

Any update on the babies?

No. I’m at work today through Monday. I’ll probably be dropping by Tuesday to give him a light and some fluorine so I’ll get updates then. One of his dogs had to go to the vet yesterday for a limp so he has been tied up.

Update: I wish I had a pic, but drumroll……

It appears to be they are CLOWNFISH.

Once they are in a better container for pics, I’ll take some.

My theory in why they may have delayed this long, and the surprise of finding in the tank lies in a cowry.

He has two large huge cowries, and I believe it knocked off some eggs. This caused them to hatch later and unknown to him there was the possibility of clownfish eggs somewhere knocked off the rock.

It has been a wild ride. I was WRONG. Not the first time and won’t be the last.

It was a pleasure updating this fun little journey and playing devils advocate to the dismay of some people, I’m sure. Lol

Anyway next update should be pics of them!

I’m not sure why they were delayed metamorphosis for this loooong period of time, but here we are. Maybe they will have a cool
Color morph or not. Who knows. We will see.

The great mystery of 2024 finally revealed.

I would love to see an update picture of these little clowns since they caused such an uproar!

 

[carol3]

Yes, me too, please!

My buddy raises clownfish and he found these in his tank. No new fish added for years.

Stock is sailfin, tomini, yellow wrasse (I think Cori’s), ornate leopard, 2 pajama cardinals, 4 lyretail anthias, foxface, and a goby.

It doesn’t look like a pajama. Did he just captive breed a lyretail or a hybrid wrasse/tang?

Only pairs of anthia, tang, wrasse, and pajama cardinals.
So it is either anthia, hybrid tang, hybrid wrasse, or pajama

Currently eating small crushed TDO.

Did you ever figure out what it was or grow it out successfully?

Edit: Sorry I didn’t see the second page of discussion. Disregard!

I'd still love to see an update on the little guys!

Ask and you shall receive.

well, that explains why I didn’t see the expected head stripes at metamorphose! I’ve only raised wild form clowns (grin).
