Naked false percula clownfish

trex7 · 02/13/2008, 10:57 PM

I would like to get some opinions on how much you think they would cost if I were to buy them from ORA through my LFS.

I'd like to get a pair.

Is that where you would get them from, if not from where?

Does anyone have them? Pics!

Just any info in general would be great. TIA

Around here I see them going for about $30 a clown on average. $20 would be a steal price, but some stores seem to bump them to $40.

I used to work at a lfs and all the clowns we had there were less than $20, and they were all ORA. Although we never got any of the "naked" veriety. I can say traveling around to all the stores in my area it seems that every store (at least to me) is jacking the price up just bit. I will say that the average price I do see now for most clowns is around $25- $30.

Hope that helps

Thats cheaper than I was thinking

Do you think those are ORA fish prices or a local breeder?

And do you think I need to ask for a mated pair or do you think I should just ask for two and hope the get along?

Thanks again

these are weird. i don't know how i feel about a 'designer breed' sort of clownfish. these don't usually occur in the wild right? i don't know if onyx clowns do either though...

does anybody know?
