B&W Clowns: Where to buy?

[UWUALineman]

I am going to put my two occellaris in the sump to sell, and have been hunting for at least a Medium sized pair of B&W clowns. I had an unsuccessful attempt with a pair from Dr. Foster Smith as they arrived very small, nearly tiny in size, And just struggled in my SPS tank. It seems I can only find very small young fish to purchase, so does anyone have a suggestion on finding a larger pair. I have been watching Divers Den as they have them on there from time to time, however, my searches have been left unfruitful. Hope to get some help and thanks in advance for any offered.

yor local lfs should have some are you can get some through them.

Try SaltWaterFish.com.

I have tried calling LFS but they only get shipments of smaller ones. Saltwaterfish has been hit and miss for me, I will have to check them out again. Any personal experience with them?

try liveaquaria.com

I've watched pairs come and go with Liveaquaria and kick myself for not buying them, but purchasing from their regular stock makes them way too small for my tank, so a Divers Den purchase is my only option. rkelman, do you breed, and guessing customs is a mother eh?!

Very cool. Finding two isn't a problem, but finding rather mature ones that will survive in a chaotic high flow SPS tank is my hurdle. LFS's around here are all in the same situation, they receive them around an inch in size. Any online retailers you could throw out there would be fine. Saltwaterfish was out, Liveaquaria in stock however tiny, etc. Thanks for the help too.

Bummer too bad you weren't closer. I pm'd you.

ORA
got a local saltwater store to order a pair for me.

 

[UWUALineman]

I have called around to them all and have had no luck in getting ones of decent size.

If you knew a store that goes through Quality MArine you could get some good sised ones.Iv seen some in the LFS that were about 1 1/2 inches in size!

How far are you from Western New York?

 

[UWUALineman]

Four hours at the least.
There are a few stores north of me but that is going to result in a two hour drive. We do have a 34G Solana which would be great for a small pair to mature however there are two Clarkis residing in a GBTA which the woman loves and will not part with.

how far are you from chicago?

 

[UWUALineman]

Probably about 6 to 8 hours at the minimum east.
