Help me pick new clowns

[sprinj76]

I would like to try and pair some clowns for my 20 gallon, this route is a lot cheaper than buying already paired clowns.

So I'm looking for 2 clowns any kind, the only other fish in the tank will be my tail spot blenny. Leaning towards true percs.

What would you pick??

How much do ya want to spend?

Great Question. I would like to keep it under 100 dollars and would like to be able to get them online.

I think Rod Onyx are like 50 ea but you will have another at least 50 in shipping. They are very coool fish

Heck, he could drive to Rod's and save the shipping. Don't think Oshkosh is that far.

But, I would suggest either perc's or O's for that size of tank.

Rod onyx would great.

Thanks Todd,

I do like these fish, they are very interesting. Looks like shipping UPS ground from DeKalb IL to Oshkosh WI is $9.20 and will get here in one day. I will contact Rod's Reef and see if I can order some of these guys.

Giving him a call is the best bet for getting quick reply, also read thru the thread, if there are any that you like you can have him pick out similar ones for you.

Thanks for the links GSMguy

I've been doing a little research and really like these guys.

I will be calling Rod and making the 3 hour trip down there to hopefully get some clownfish along with some of his food which I've heard good things about. But that's not going to happen until the snow lets up a bit, maybe next weekend if it is nice.

Thanks again every one. I will deffinately post some pics on here once I get them.

I was just up in Oshkosh today. Please tell me there was actually a fire in the athletic complex...the alarm started going off right at the end of the swim meet and a couple of people eventually came running in freaking out about how we had to get out of the building as I was attempting to change out of my suit... 4" of fresh snow in a speedo would not have been fun.

haha, not that i've heard of. Where were you swimming at the student recreation and wellness center or Ablee?

 

[Slakker]

We were in Albee, though the fire department didn't seem to be in too big of a hurry once they got there. I'd guess that there either wasn't a fire, or it was really minor. Plenty of people panicked, though...lol

The food rocks and you are really lucky that you get to go and see his fish and anemones.
