Platinum clowns

[Guy340]

Are they really worth it if you can get them for $280/pair?

 

[this is me]

well, that's totally depend on you.
Some people pay 5000 for a McCulloch pair and it's worth to them but for me, I wouldn't even pay 100bucks for them.

 

[theronsta]

I've heard of people getting them and only lasting 6-8 months..Idk if its due to the fact that they are a mutation/inbred or not

EDIT: I also think they are incredibly hideous. The whole point of having a reef tank to me is to recreate a marine reef environment with what would naturally occur in the wild. JMO

oh god!

That's about what I paid for mine... If they're worth it to you then that's what matters, what they're worth to someone else or what they think about them doesn't matter much, it's your tank

 

[oceancube1]

you guys should just wait till there $15.00 a piece in about 20years, clowns are becoming more and more different these days an ofcoarse your gonna pay a good penny for a nice fish, end of story!!!

 

[Whip316]

if your gonna pay that for them, why now spend a few more for wyoming whites?

Wyoming whites are not Percula. Some people prefer percs over occs.I know I do.Personal preference.

Wyoming whites are UNAVAILABLE good luck with that one. Its a good price for platinum.

I really love the snowcasso / Picasso clown because of the patterns <º)))>< <º)))>< <º)))>< <º)))>< <*}}}><

It's really up to you. It's your tank. I wouldn't have bought one if I wouldn't have gotten a decent deal. I now have a Percula Platinum paired with a Sanjay's black photon(which is an Occy/Percula cross). I like this pair because it's different. I don't like having what "everyone else has" per say.

I like that combo. Wish there were more Photons out there.

 

[Korrine]

Thanks. A friend offered the combo to me...I got lucky!

Kool looking pair!

JT, what pair are u going with after u sell your Onyx/Picasso pair?

 

[Guy340]

Wow, debate went a little further than I wanted it to. Was just wondering what the value was. After seeing more pictures, I think I'll keep my BW and regular occ.

There's a guy in my town that wants $500 for his single wyoming white. I almost choked when he told me how much he wanted. IMO, it looked hideous! lol.

 

[Korrine]

I have never heard of a Wyoming white.

 

[oceancube1]

I couldn't disagree more with the first half of your post. They don't "last" because of poor husbandry, not genetics. They are not mutated in any way, and are line-bred, not inbred. Read more.
