Domino Clownfish
Our SW LFS got a pair of domino clownfish in yesterday. If I did not already have a full QT tank, I would have taken them home. It's amazing as it seams like every year there seams to be a new color variation from selective captive breeding becoming popular. Once I get the new anemone settled in and ready to be hosted by some clown fish, I might have to order a pair of these guys.
Below are a few pics of the ones that I saw at the store
The below is a pic of a adlut domino clown fish I found on the interwebs

For a clown fish, they are neat! Since I'm looking to stock one in my reef tank, I think I'll ask around for a domino clown fish.
Nice find.

Phone around and find a local store that can order from ORA fish breeders. You will pay a little more but they are always the best quality fish around. They are alos one of the larger clown fish breeders in North America

I checked out the site and realy liked the black and white hybred of the same species. I didn't realise how many hybreds there are of this one species.

LOL, there are more color variations of clown fish then I care to try to remember. That is also a part of why I like these fish. You can get very special coloring in them.

Just curious, how large of a tank would you need to keep a pair of clowns and their anemone o.O?

That would depend on the anemone and the clown fish
Ocellaris Clownfish (reguardless of color variation) will need a 20 gallon tank at the very smallest. Most of the smaller anemones that will host clown fish (BTAs) would need about a 30 to 40 gallon tank.
Just to make matter a little more difficult, both clown fish and anemones have different requirements, and not all anemones will host all the different types of clown fishIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I'm sure I'll get the hang of this within 5-10 years... idealistically.

LOL, it's not that hard. After all, I was able to learn it and I am not the sharpest tool in the shed
