Maroons Vs. Clarkiis

[Wayne@RC]

I would like to know what everone opion is. My lfs has two pairs of matted clowns. a piar of maroons and a piar of clarkiis (the clarii is even laying egg @ lfs). the maroons are 80 and the clarkiis are 100, which i think is a great deal, what do you think? im buying a pair to breed and try to make a little $ or some fish food, which fry are worth more? (yes, yes, i know how involved breeding clowns are, thank you for your concern.) thanks wayne

I love my Gold Band Maroon, but as soon as it got an anemone it got MEAN! Are they regular maroons or gold band?

 

[Wayne@RC]

is that a good price for a mated pair $80?

 

[SkullV]

Yes that is an EXCELLENT price for a mated pair of gold bands. Do you know if they are tank bred or wild caught? Have they spawned before or are they just a "bonded" pair?

 

[Wayne@RC]

idk, on ether one of those questions, how can you tell between tank bred and wild caught?

I don't think you can (but I'm not sure). Tank bred are Gold Bands are pretty common. Either way if they are healthy and spawning (ask the person selling them) $100 is a great price, and they will probably fetch more $$ then Clarkii fry.

thank you so much, thats what i was lookin for! i lie in kentucky, idk your location but i think that maroon fry for for about $8 each, does that sound about right to you?

I do not, sorry, I just see the price the fish are going for in many LFS in the area.
