Fresh Water Clown Fish

[Shelly_Otterkin]

I could not help it!
Hubby brought me home a gift a week ago I thought I would share. This little guy is 1" long and is in with 2 others that are 2 and 2.5". They have a 40gal (US) all to them selfs.

Please forgive the tank deco. Its my little girls tank.

I was just thinking that.....maybe they just means it looks like a clown fish (although I dont think it does) but a nioce fantail none the less.

I just think its amazing how shopkeepers will label something like a fantail as a freshwater clown fish to sell them, unbelievable. I hope you didnt pay over the odds for the fantail.
Nicely patterned fish though.

Im still waiting for Shelly_Otterkin to reply but i hope they didnt sell it as a freshwater clown fish just because of the colouration of it.....going by the size of it I hope she didnt pay much more than about £3.

I am sorry folks. I thought you would see the joke.
No he is just a fan tail sold as a fan tail for $.99. )
I am the one who called him a clown becouse of his white face with orange lips.

I was kidding when I posted the title. He looks so much like a little clown I thougt I would post a pic of him. I am vary sorry you misunderstood what I was doing. I forget that with as many post as you see with newbies talking about there "new breed fish".
Sorry

Im just relieved that this wasnt a petshop ploy to buy a red and white fish. Ive seen it too many times before where people are hoodwinked into thinking they have bought a new type of fish.
Glad to see that isnt the case here.

Shame you posted about it now as it would have made a brilliant Aprils Fool joke.

Lovely fish! I would would love to get a nice red and white oranda or sarassa comet, but as I have just got a new tank because my other one was overcrowded I am not wanting to make the same mistake again as I def dont have room left for any bigger tanks!

I agree does look like a wee clown I love when their colouring gives them a bit of character!!
