I’d like to give these bonded clownfishes away to a good home for FREE. Got them from my friend that broke down his tank. They’ve been together for over a year and will host an anemone. Anemone in pic is not included. If you are interested please post a pic your tank.

Pick up in Pittsburg.

Nice pair and very generous, unfortunately my tank is not ready. Hope they find a good home.

@Randyadammartin adding a bonded pair with one with a high probability of being female will like result in her killing one of your other clowns who might also be female or near transition... along with other dominant male... Always add smaller individual clowns... not bonded.

I have a good home for them with my 4 other clowns. I have a few anemones as well.

Hi Randy, thanks for your interest. Your tank looks very nice. As others have mentioned, adding a pair of bonded clowns in a tank with an already established harem will result in aggression and fighting. Usually the smaller clownfish will get picked on and killed. Trust me, I’ve experimented with a harem of 20 clownfishes from the same clutch and after about 1.5 years they started to establish a dominate female and male. Over a few months I noticed less and less clownfishes and it was always the smallest clownfish with the beat up fins that ends up going missing. Then the harem gangs up on the next smallest clownfish to beat up. I eventually sold them off for their own well being. For all of the clowns best interest I think adding a bonded pair would not be the best idea.

I’m also interested if any previous parties fall through. My 29g has been fallow for almost 4-5 months after my last clown jumped ship.

Here’s a photo of my tank:

@henergizer nice tank. I think the clowns would love to call it home. Please message me to arrange pick up.
