Maroon clown bigger than an oscar!!!

[bang guy]

Nobody's perfect...

 

[sweetdawn]

maybe if you go back and hold a ruler up to the tank when you take the picture it will look bigger. I think nine inches is still pretty big

 

[j-key]

id love to have 9 inches.......of clown fish

 

[gregvabch]

you're right bang, i guess i should have known better. so, i appologize for being a snot

 

[neowind]

Lol Big Fish was a good movie. Its a HUGE clown fish though owner is pretty respectful so I think he is telling the truth. He says 9 inches.

 

[saltfreak4]

don't mean to bump, but where is the picture? Did they remove it?

 

[jleithiser]

I don't see any picture? What happened to it?

 

[gregvabch]

there was no picture, that's why the thread died FOREVER ago...

 

[saltfreak4]

Yes, I know it's a large bump. But up on the thread he mentions a picture. There never was one? Again, sorry for the bump but I would love to see the pic.

perhaps over two years later the picture is no longer hosted (and the clown may be 9" by now lol)

there was a pic. over a year ago this site underwent changes and pictures were lost. I actually remembered this thread last night because the lfs I go to had a huge maroon that is at least 7" long. they only want $36 for it, which seems to me like a good deal if you want a large mean fish.

 

[jam1e]

Neowind you don't still have the picture do you?

 

[nigerbang]

crap....I was wanting to see that picture....figures...Im always 2 years late.. :joy:

 

[saltfreak4]

Me too. I really was looking forward to seeing it.

Hey Greg, The one at Fish Sarfari is over 6" inches, have you seen that one on the back wall. Hadn't been there in a few months, but that one was definately "Oscar" size.

what do you mean by "oscar" size? they can be deceiving because the ones at Wal-Mart, etc are usually about 2" long, but they actually grow to well over a foot long.

i haven't been to fish safari in almost a year, haven't lived in virginia beach since december

My female Tomato Clown was 7" not counting tail when she died. She was 15 years old. It wasn't from natural causes either, my new apartment wasnt really done like they told me and I had to leave her there in a cooler and they spilled paint in it.

She had laid eggs (again) a couple weeks earlier.

hmm I shop there too. I never see much in the way of interesting marine fish except the queen trigger that does roll overs on command, just a ridiculous amount of coral tanks. Its the only store I've seen with three times the amount of coral tanks than marine fish tanks. it really is an excellent store but they've long outgrown the shop its in. I've watched the sales they made on not that busy store hours a few times (just people getting bagged and sent to the register before me) and they were averaging about $75-100 in sales every 10 minutes easily on just coral sales alone.
