I gotta pair of maroon clownfish from petco (don't tell anybody lol) a while back. They were sold as the plain jane white stripe variety. When i got them i had wanted some gold stripe maroon clowns but couldn't locate any locally so i settled on some of the regular variety . Its been a few months and now they are showing some yellow color in the first stripe over the eyes. I had read that gold stripers look like white stripers till they are about a year old then they develop that nice golden yellow color. Iv never owned any of them before so i have no experience with them . So here is my question...is it typical for whitestriped mc's to get a lil yellow color in their white stripes ?? Or is it more likely that i have mislabled gold striped mcs, which wouldent surprise me at all. The whole thing has me excited... did i actually get the fish i wanted in the first place by accident lol???? I mean petcos track record of identifcation is often flawed... the engineer goby i bought turned out to be a hectors goby, and just last week i bought a beau greggory damselfish that turned out to be a juvi longfin damselfish and I'm really havinga difficult time getting any information on it other than geographic distribution.... i don't even know if this guys reef safe so if u know anything please share... but i digress....

Thoughts & opinions appreciated!
thanks in advance

Win, it seems like you need to keep it well fed, or have some algae for it?

Lol figures...


So far i haven't seen any "algae farming" but i feed 3x a day n keep nori on a stick for my lawnmower blenny and conch... its an eager eater and a pretty fish. So far there's no problems but if i see anything damaged or it picking at coral its gone lol

Thanks yeti. I have a hard time on this phone sometimes, its nothing like searching the web on a pc lol
