Looking for percula/ocellaris variants

[Rare Angels]

Hey everyone,

I posted in the Want To Buy forum a while back and got nothing so I thought I would try here.

I am looking for the various percula/ocellaris variants in pairs. I like all the different varieties and would like to add them to my collection.

I know I can wait for some online store to get some or try orderng them from a LFS but I am looking for someone that has these currently and is willing to sell now.

1 pair of Snowflake ocellaris
1 pair of Picasso perculas, very unque marks like these http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=938213&perpage=25&pagenumber=1

1 pair of Jigsaw
1 pair of naked

I am also looking for Merten's anemone, any size will do.

Hopefully someone out there can help me out. Please PM me if you aren't comfortable posting here.

Thanks again for everyone's time.

Dave

Unless someone on here decides to sell there own personal clowns, you will have to get your LFS to order the Picasso's or Naked Clowns from ORA. Be prepared to wait as ORA has a long wait list for these. I recently got a pair of Picasso's after waiting 2 months for my LFS to get them in.
You should also know that the Picasso's are not always marked like the ones ORA had at the show. The two I have do not have as much white as those but they have the real nice facial markings and are already starting to get the thicker black edges around the white. I have also seen others that have no fascial markings at all but have more white on the body. I have heard that they can develop the white face marks as they get older but I haven't seen any do this as of yet.
Correct me if I am wrong but I think Jigsaw's are another name for the Picasso's or snowflakes.
I believe liveaquaria.com has a pair of snowflakes in the divers den section.

Thanks triggerfish. I am hoping that someone knows of LFS that has the fish I am looking for or knows of a online dealer currently carrying them.

I know the snowflakes, picasso's and the jigsaws are all differently patterned so I am hoping to find some of each.

Thanks again for the info.

Is there a working/up-to-date breeder registery available anywhere?

I'm looking for a Black and White Oscellaris locally and rarely see them.

 

[triggerfish1976]

Try rareclownfish.com. It is a forum similar to RC specifically for rare clownfish people. I believe there is a section on the forum specifically for breeders.

 

[Raibaru]

Yea, I made a post there. No hits though.

I am getting a pair of picassos later this week got a great deal on them, I have been on the list for several months....


also to whoever removed my last post I am sorry I didnt know that wasnt allowed but that was rude to not even send a message to me. At least say something,...... infact I wish I knew who it was so I could mention it to another mod.

i talked to the ORA at macna they said the waiting list on picasso is 4 page long...\

Picasso = true percula
snowflake = ocellaris

 

[jjackson]

yeah I cant wait.... the person who won the ones at macna wasnt sure she wanted them but since my retailer came up on the list I didnt persue the ones she won to greatly...

 

[triggerfish1976]

I don't know how anyone could have turned the MACNA picasso's down. They are some of the best marked specimans I have seen to date aside from the original speciman.

 

[jjackson]

yeah they were great she just wasnt all about them, I wanted them but I never could get a price that she wanted for them, I hope they are happy with her.

 

[Rare Angels]

Yeah, the ones from MACNA were nice. If shes looking to sell send her my way.

[jjackson]

I dont have her name but I will get it for you, she was a friend of a friend....
