I finally go to shot some photos last week (October 14th), and among them are updates of the holdback pair. I’ve also updated the “Lightning Maroon Pattern Progression” post to show how it continues to evolve. Here’s the latest:

The forced size differentiation of my holdback Lightning pair continues and is going well…my chosen female is growing larger and larger. It’s “only a matter of time”.
More than any other question I’ve received in the past year, is one that once again, came up in a private communication from Carl W. Phillips Jr. tonight. He asked, “Mr Pedeersen whats you opinion of what the stripe maroon will throw some lightning ??” My response: “I’ve written about this rather extensively on www.Lightning-Maroon-Clownfish.com and elsewhere.

With all the stuff going on, I realized it’s been months since I showed the pair of Lightnings that I saved for myself. I also wanted to update the “Lightning Maroon Clownfish Pattern Progression & Development” post, as there is obviously still a fair amount of justifiable skepticism as to whether these offspring will ever […]

Frank is an aquarist who’s in it for the long haul, so you know […]
Yes, here it is, has been too long. With each passing day I am evermore convinced that my hypothesis about the Lightning pattern development is correct. The “lightning maroon clownfish pattern development” photo series post has been updated as well. This is what the Lightnings are looking like now. This is the pair I’m holding […]
Last Wednesday, December 5th, I was surprised and saddened to find a few dead Lightning Maroons in the larviculture system. The mortalities were restricted specifically to the large aggregate group. Many of you may be aware that Maroon clownfish are notoriously nasty to each other, so much so that some breeders have said that in […]
Craig’s comments today got me thinking – I should show the progression of the pattern developing. So this is for you Craig! These are all the same fish; this is one I’ve decided to keep for myself…looks like it lost a ventral fin in early fights but is otherwise a really nice fish (take note, […]
Updates coming soon on how you can have your shot at owning a Lightning Maroon Clownfish of your own, but for the moment, how about some photos fresh from the fishroom?
More photos, these from 7-27-2012:
