Ocellaris Clownfish

[jfbhd4]

anyone have 2 decent sized Ocellaris or percula Clownfish that I can buy in a few weeks when I come back to STL?

PM me if you do with price desired.
Thanks

GWA has about 20 of them. It was cool to see them all schooled up.

They were percs.

Kathy raises ocellaris and sells them locally. She could hook you up.

 

[jcjstl]

Not to thread jack but does anyone know the average price of a pair?

 

[Shooter7]

I would say $20-ish per fish, give or take $5 depending on who you're dealing with and how their current stock is doing. I paid $20 apiece for mine at Inland Aquatics a year and a half ago.

Kathy55g is her name on here. I don't have her number, but you can PM her on here I imagine. Here's a link to her profile:

shooter thanks for the link

 

[Kathy55g]

Thank you all for your interest, but I can no longer sell to individuals. I am presently selling to stores. Gateway Aquatics has some of my A. ocellaris, and perhaps Marine Solutions later this week. Other stores in St. Louis will probably also carry my captive bred ocellaris very soon. Illinois stores as my luck with breeding improves.

Thank you for choosing captive bred fish and corals. You get healthier animals, conditioned to captivity, and our oceans get to keep their animals.

Cheers,
Kathy

 

[Shooter7]

well, that's a bummer. Glad I got one when I did.

 

[Kathy55g]

Why a bummer? The fish are now available, and will become more available in the near future.

 

[Shooter7]

Bummer that you're not selling to individuals anymore. Because the fish I got from you came directly from your meticulously kept system, it was the only fish I have bypassed my usually rigid QT'ing procedures for and placed directly into my display. I would never do that with a store bought fish as they are typically exposed to an open system with many other fish. Just saved me a bunch of time by not having to QT is all.

 

[Kathy55g]

Good point. Congrats on rigid QT procedures. That's the best way to protect your investments.
On the upside, the fish are available whenever the stores are open, and not by appointment as before, and I can spend more time growing fish and less time being a retailer.

Sent you a PM, but just noticed where you are from, you might be a little to far away for joebuckmaster.

 

[Shooter7]

Joe doesn't do ocellaris, as far as I'm aware...I think he just does true percs.

 

[jfbhd4]

Well I guess I will just have to buck up and get some from a store.

 

[Kathy55g]

Yes, Joe has beautiful A. percula.
I have beautiful A. ocellaris.

 

[Kathy55g]

Marine Solutions now has some of my clownfish.

 

[jcjstl]

A buddy just got two of them Kathy they are very nice looking... cant wait to get my 40 gallon Clown/Anemone tank ready to get some.

 

[Kathy55g]

Thanks jcjstl,

Clayton Pet now has 30 of them in their frag tank up front next to the wall. Tomorrow night I will be bringing a few to Beldt's store.

Cheers,
Kathy
