oama, sorry about the stupid post/remark, didn't realize who you was until it was too late to change it.

David, if I were to order a pair, would these be the one's labeled as "blue stripe"? Do all of them have the "blueish" stripes or is it a lighting thing? My lfs got one in a few weeks ago (with the blue) and I thought about getting it, but I want/need a pair, so didn't pick it up. I want to have them order me a pair, but I'm afraid they'll come in and not have the blue.
 
No, No, nanocat! silly -- you can't produce anything with all x's .... you have to have some y's in there too!

sheesh
 
what is the deffernce between the
Amphiprion percula ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ True Percula
SI (Solomon Island) Percula
Onyx Percula
Amphiprion ocellaris ââ"šÂ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å“ False Percula, False Clown
 
Here's a shot of Amphiprion bicinctus with a Heteractis magnifica (ritteri) anemone in the Red Sea. I can't recall ever seeing these available to aquarium enthusiasts. They're very beautiful, and I've spent many dives just observing them in their natural setting.

Thanks, my wife and I spent eleven years teaching in Saudi Arabia. We were fortunate to be stationed in the Western Province next to the Red Sea. I dove every weekend and had my Nikonos with me on just about every dive.
 
LD, you say you don't have much luck w/ the chrysopterus. Is that becouse they dod not adapt to aquarium life or they do not spawn well? I've wanted to find a smallish pair of these or Bicinctus pair.
TIA,
Chad
 
Hey I have seen the list of clown fish but I have just bought a pair of "naked perculas" They are just palin range with black lining on all the fins. How come I can not find any info on them? Are they rare or just not encouraged because they are mutants so to speak. Any help on this one. I am wondering if I bought a good thing (hard to find) or bad thing (no one wants/hard to find)
 
I think what you have is actually an A. ocellaris or "False Percula" w/out stripes. Not a True Percula.

Nice thing about this hobby: you get to choose what to put in your tank :>)

Enjoy them.
 
they were sold to me from a professional reputable store round here as "naked Perculas' maybe I should take pics and post them. Well I will try!
 
blessings,

I would take oama's opinion on the identification to heart, there are few around with his first hand knowledge of captive clownfish breeding.

While "naked percula" are not a rare species of clown, the markings or in this case lack there of, are unusual for the species A. ocellaris.

Enjoy them, you won't see many out there.
 
well this is what i have found out from the people who sell them. They are perculas and it is just a genetic mutation which happens in every 1 out of 20,000. they are becoming poplular BUT those that sell them usually limit the buyers to a certain number the people that I talked to limit each store to 2 per store but then they called back and had to tell most stores that ordered them that they would not be available. They are captive bred fish but not easy to come by, so woth that they had to tell many that reserved their two that they would not be available to them this time!!! Well, thanks all for your help it is greatly appreciated.
 
I would suspect ORA is the source and they are not perculas, they are A. ocellaris. Click on the link to Mis-Bar False Percula Clownfish and you will see a specimen that is quite close although this one has the head stripe.

I would suspect that a Local Fish Store can get on a list for such specimens, but only for a few at a time to spread the opportunity. That is strictly my assumption, but it might be worth checking with your LFS and seeing if they can get some for you. Patience in this sort of hunt is typically rewarded.

Cheers.

fwiw: oama is quite familiar with Oceans Reefs & Aquariums ;>)
 
They are Limited.
They are Ocellaris, aka "False Percula".
They are Captive Bred.
They are not, however, mutations.
There is no "Reserve List". As they become availible, they are sold, first come first serve.
 
My lfs that buys from ORA has a tankfull, retailing at $45. When I say "tankfull" I didn't count but I'm sure there are a dozen or more. When I first walked by & just got a corner-of-the-eye glimpse I got excited thinking they had panda gobies :D
