Which Clownfish Glows The Most Under Blue Actinic?

[rahl187]

I have yet to decide which Clownfish to go with in my tank. I'm taking my time with this decision as apparently, Clownfish cannot be mixed, so you only get one choice. I want something that glows nicely under blue actinic as I have seen the Snowflakes and Black Ice do. Preferably something with max size less than about 4 inches. I'd also like to get or make a mated pair and possibly breed them. So what's the coolest glowing Clownfish? Thanks everyone for any input!

The Pink Skunk Clownfish IMO.

Won't the whites and pinks pop more under the light? The orange on my clownfish don't pop like the orange on my ricordea. The white on my clownfish is what I notice the most under my actinic lighting.

Pink Skunk ha? Interesting. Not quite my style but I'll look into it. So it's the white on the Clownfish that will pop right, and pink if it has it? Does the white on all Clownfish glow in blue actinic? Does the white on some species pop more than others? If so, which Clownfish's white pops the most? Sorry so many questions, it's just that all I have as far as LFS is *****, and it's not even a good one. And their lighting isn't that great to tell, even when they do have a Clownfish or two. Thanks again.

I'd highly recommend the fish from this site. I actually purchased a new clown from here last week, and it's doing great. I'd get the ORA (tank raised) ones. I've personally had more luck with them than the ones caught in the wild. I think it's like $4 more, but to me it is worth it. You've got to be careful buying fish for sure. I pretty much have two fish stores from me that are about a hour away. One of them is great. The guy is a marine biologist, & truly cares for the fish. The other store, the fish aren't that great. So you've just really got to pay attention.
It's possible to get people at large chains like ***** who know their stuff. But I also work for a large chain company. The problem is, those above you don't care. They don't pay attention to things like acclimation. They just want to push product out & get sales. So that can be a factor when buying a fish from a large chain.
