Help Find Me a New Clownfish - Any Suggestions

[WeltyAJ]

HELP!! I am looking for a new clownfish for my new tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on which company to buy it from?

What are you looking to spend, and what kind are you looking for?

 

[WeltyAJ]

Well I'm open, how expensive do they get?

 

[WeltyAJ]

well I like the nemo looking clownfish.

 

[WeltyAJ]

So I was checking out other posts and Picassos seem to look cool. Any opinions on them?

 

[edwing206]

One of the more expensive species of clowns. But they are very nice and not a lot of people have them. Expect to pay around $100 a piece for them.

 

[WeltyAJ]

Thanks Luis.

Where is a good place to pick up the picassos?

Nice to meet you Aj. Most LFS get ORA orders in and should be able to get you snowflake clowns if you ask them.

ORA does not breed Snowflakes. they do breed picassos.

Welcome to RC AJ!

Picasso's are very cool fish. Your best bet is to just talk to a local fish store to see if they can order you Picasso Clowns (ORA is one big supplier)

I'm a big fan of the dark solomon island true percs. They're like Picassos without the off-the-wall patterns, and a lot of black markings. (Not to mention 1/5 the price usually)

I totally posted snowflakes instead of picassos. I think I said picassos in my earlier post. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

[WeltyAJ]

Wait a minute. What is a snowflake?

 

[chica83]

a snowflake clownfish is a fish that's covered mostly in white, i believe they're occelaris?? (might be wrong), they fishes go for about 500 bucks.

 

[WeltyAJ]

Oh shoot. Does anyone have any photos of them?

 

[fishkid6692]

thats a low price for snowflakes. i've seen them go for around 700 a piece. they are ocellaris clowns that are almost all white. i have been looking for them for about a month now and i finally found a pair at my lfs for 1400 but they were sold. there are a few threads about snowflakes that have pics. just look through them.

What size tank to you have, and what other ( if any ) fish/inverts do you have in there.

I am really just learning right now, I have ordered a 24g nano cube and am awaiting its arrival.
