in the market for new clowns

[95accord]

well unfortunatly i lost my 2 sadleback clowns and a Coral beauty in the past month. 2 commited suicide and the other croaked.

so my tank seems empty now.

therefore, i will be taking my time and reaserching different species of clowns and i am open to suggestions.

i was kind of partial to the black and whites. but now i am willing to consider other species.

i am looking for something docile, nice to look at, and with personality. i would like something UNIQUE. i am willing to wait (within reason here) to get somethign i really want. (IE by the time a supplier can get some etc...)

i do not have anemone as of yet. therefore a anemone/anemone fish combo would also be well worth considering.

i am open to suggestions.
other species i was considering were Picasso's but they are xtremly hard to get im my area (as in i know of no one else in a 200 mile are with a pair)
or onyx (looks like black/ orang missbar picassos or something...i think thats the correct species)

what would you guys want if you could start over?

thanks in advance

I love my black and white ocellaris. eventually if i get a larger tank i would love to try the blue stripe and the bicintius. hope i spelled that right dang medicine makes me loopy.

Just for the record "onyx" & "picasso" are both the same species. They are both True Percula.

I am partial to both of these! You can get amazing onyx from rods-reef.com & if you cant get any ORA picasso's local try bonesreef.com he breeds & sells picasso's.

Another species that I really like are Nigrips or comon name black foot clown. I believe these are pretty skittish when introducing to the tank & dont ship well, so make sure your LFS can QT the fish for 3 weeks before you take it home.
