colour varients in clowns

Post by clown keeper » Tue Oct 24, 2006 4:03 pm

hi guys
i am fairly new to fishkeeping i have had the MTS and hopefully it has passed with the addition of a 125 uk gallon tank lol, i have already got two baby clowns in there and i got another today but his colour is very different from my other two , as this one is very pale i.e the orange part(THE BLACK MARKING A VERY VIBRANT) would this just be the colour he was born with or is it stress as my other two are very orangey and black like i thought they were supposed to be like.
All the clown loaches in the shop were this pale yellow colour but with really dark markings i have been watching thenm for a few weeks before buying one , he seems ok and the others love the addition of a third playmate,,
Thanks
