Anywhere else besides Live aquaria and saltwaterfish.com

I only suggested Live Aquaria because a) They're from Australia b) They won't be misbarred

Any particular reason you don't want to buy from Live Aquaria? I've had my issues with them, and I'm not crazy about the dropshipping routine, but this is one thing I probably would buy from them for the reasons listed above.

Tagging along cause I was just wondering the same thing, except I don't have a prob with LA. I have been very pleased with them in fact. It's just that now right when I was about to place my order they don't have what I was looking for. I wanted a smaller B&W hopefully to pair up with my regular color occ. Is there anything wrong with the clowns from England or the ones that are misbarred? I think they're kinda cool.

from the description on LA, the black clowns will have an orange face. I want them to, but i only want the all black ones.

 

[shiggs]

I think they loose the orange face though.

 

[blessedsol]

mine lost all orange color in about a year.

 

[shiggs]

Anywhere where i can get a Pair of B/W ocellaris?

They have 'em in stock at Blue Zoo Aquatics

 

[shiggs]

i found them at saltwater fish.com for 32 dollars and there aquacultured.

Is that a good place to buy?

 

[WDLV]

Pricey but healthy. I would deal with them again. If you have 'em available at SWF.com for $32.00, I say go for it.

 

[shiggs]

sweet but im not garunteed a fully striped clown though

Sustainable aquatics

I live near thatfishplace, they have great clownfish and tend to be feisty. I've bought 3 pairs online and they turned out to be complete pussies. I don't know what you are looking for in personality but i like when they dart from the anemone or hole and chase away other fish.
I would suggest getting tank raised.

 

[shiggs]

Eyebedam how do you order from there if you are not a retail store i was looking at that and when i tried to register it said company name.

How would i order from them?

 

[Leviathan_XE]

Don't mean to butt in. How would one be able to tell if they're gonna keep the orange face or or not. I actually am curious about the opposite of shiggs. I want a black and white but I want it to keep some orange. Similar to the ones I saw on Dr. Mac's site..http://www.drmaccorals.com/ShowProductCategory.aspx?CategoryId=80
I was also wondering how many have kept on with a normal colored occellaris, how do they fair on pairing?

Do you guys know of any WYSIWYG sites for clowns?

 

[shiggs]

i dont sorry.

The black/white ocellaris clowns from SWF.com are from ORA, which is the same place many etailers and local shops get their stock from. One shopss clowns from ORA aren't better than others. If you want a fully barred b/w clown without a spec of orange your best bet would be to look for matured clowns from a hobbyist.

Even the clowns from Australia can be misbarred.
