	Are these two clowns the same?
fishkid99 Enthusiast Posts: 252 Kudos: 218 Votes: 39 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	Edited by fishkid99 I have two clowns in my tank. Theyre supost to be both tomato clowns. But im starting to think they arent. I have pics but here are my descriptions which might also help. clown 1: Has alot more brown on him. Running from his caudal fin up near his eye. and his orange is darker then clown two clown 2: Has a smaller brown spot. It is kind of located where its stomach would be (The best way to desricbe where it is) It has a white spot near the eyes and mouth. Something clown one doesnt have. The link is on the third reply And the two fish are labeled clown one and two and they corespond with the descriptions above. >>>----> <----<<< pnh
