Can you help me find a male black ocellaris ...

... to mate up with the nice female I recently got from Duy? I prefer wild caught rather than the ORA ones (which tend to frequently show the "bulldog" face trait) as this pair will be used for breeding purposes. These fish (the true black "Darwin ocellaris rather than "black percs" which are usually the black strain of polymnus) seem to be few and far between, so if anyone happens to see one around please let me know!

Thanks for the help ...

Yea, i hate the bulldog face look too, thats why I liked the one you have now so much. Good luck on finding a nice one.

If anyone by chance has seen one of these lately, please let me know ... I have a lonely lady looking for some companionship!

Thanks...

Not sure if you want this but there is a guy in LA selling it in the selling forum...

I think theres a good chance that one is a female as well.

Thanks for the reference ... I saw that and also think it is a female based upon the age and behavior. My hope is that somewhere someone (or some store) has a young one tucked away.

Aren't they able to change sex??

only from male to female. Not the other way around.
