If you don't just send them my way! =)

Good luck with them, make sure to post pics!

where can you get a pair of snow flakes at? DO you order them online or is someone breeding them?

I know a few have bought them from donisreef.com I'd check out that site. If there wasn't a good deal with a local vendor I would have jumped on a pair from her. She seems to be very nice as well, from the few times I've talked with her. She even has videos of her fish, so they're all WYSWYG. Good luck.

Excellent tip, those grade B's look 10X better than the ones at my LFS.

Okay I'm going to get a lot of flak for this but what is the appeal of these fishes? I'm really not trying to be facetious but they look like someone spilled Liquid Paper on them. Everyone has their preferences and in no way am I criticizing anyone's choice to keep them but I really don't get.
I guess once captive breeding becomes easier, designer animals are bound to develop.

I personally think it completely depends on the pattern, i think the platnums are pretty ugly most of the time but i love most of the picassos

Well, I just ordered a pair of onyx clowns.

Hopefully they'll color up really nice!

Good luck with your purchase, I love my Onyx pair. I got mine from Ocean Gallery II in NJ. They are C-Quest Onyx and they got dark very quickly. I bought mine at 1" and they have grown almost an inch in 3 months. I'll try to get a pic of them later.

Not a great pic of my Onyx clown pair:

jason, those look good! Nice pictures. Apparently the distributor who works with LiveAquaria is the same as the one who works with the local vendor that I ordered them from. Not sure what that means, exactly though (IE where mine were hatched and raised).

picked them up today. What a pair of beauties these are! Very healthy. Nice orange, black, and white lines. They're already showing signs of pairing up, and it seems like they're trying to find an anemone host.

The vendor I bought them from says they're from C Quest marine, and are captive raised fish.

:bounce1:

Here's a few pics: (They're a bit blurry. Very active and tough to get a good picture of!)
