are these a "hard to find" species ??

 

[coraldude]

they are poor shippers,, and kinda hard to find

 

[Fishfreak218]

that explains why mine were acting weird when i first got them.... hopefully they pull through..they seem to be acting normal right now.. anything else i should know about them?
btw i got them for $23.99 each. is that a good deal??

About average on the price. As with any clown, especially poor shippers like nigripes, you should have them in a QT so you can treat them if something should start to go wrong.

nigripes definately. I see them quite a bit here. there is one LFS that almost always has one.
