Comments from breeder Matt Pedersen:

 

"Probably the best “White Stripe” sent to Blue Zoo in this initial round of fish for sale.  While not perfect (would like to see better head shape and larger ventral fins), this is a pretty nice fish in the grand scheme of things.  The spots are really nice! I do not anticipate these spots to be something indicative of anything genetic at this time, but current experiences with Gold Flake Maroons are starting to suggest that there may be a genetic component at play here.  It’s a mystery.

 

A fish like this might wind up being culled or further grown out ordinarily. As with all fish being offered, the defects are not presumed genetic at this time, and the main reason for offering these fish is to broaden the size of the F1 population going forward (ensuring genetic stability where possible)."

 
 

 

 

 

For those of you who have followed the now world famous Lightning Maroon Project, you will know these first 5 fish being released are the accumulation of almost 3 years of hard work by breeder Matt Pedersen. For those discovering this amazing animal for the first time, please click HERE to familiarize yourself with the extraordinary journey that has taken place to bring these fish to market. 

 

These first 5 will be auctioned off in individual eBay listings. Each listing will be staggered by about 12 hours to give everybody the best chance to obtain one of these remarkable fish. Two of these fish display the striking lightning pattern similar to their mother while three of these fish look similar to a normal patterned maroon clownfish except for distinctive jagged striping and the odd white dot in different places. These three siblings are the only PNG bloodline maroon clownfish on the market and the best bet for continued breeding and development of the lightning pattern. Matt has more information about this on his website, http://www.lightning-maroon-clownfish.com so be sure to check it out.
