Price for a SI true perc in your LFS?

[iamborg]

What is the current asking price for SI true perc in your LFS ?
With blacks btw all strips.

It seems like LFS are getting SI perc in now, many due to the
season.

Our local LFS raises them. He charges 30-35 per one that he raises.

I saw some SI true percs in a store in St. Louis last week and they wanted $39.95.

Another store had them for $25.00. Very wide range there, I've seen them at PETCO for $18.95 last year.

I have one I bought in Memphis for $27 and I've been wanting to get her a mate but I'm not paying $40 for one that is for sure. I would have snagged the $25 one but it was bigger than my fish-(and possibly already a female) and I'm looking for a juvi to help ensure a pair.

SI true percula = solomon islands true percula clown?

 

[iamborg]

Yes. SI : Soloman Island.

My LFS has some for $40, but they were wild caught and looked pretty
beaten up.

Need to find a mate for my picasso.

a couple questions.

regarding the person who said his LFS raises them, does that mean the parents were wild-caught from the solomon islands?

also, the people who've seen their LFS sell them, does your LFS actually advertise them as SI true percs? If so, I'm wondering why they do this--is it just for the customer's sake of knowing where their wildcaught clowns came from? Or it is to advertise that they may be onxy?

just wondering, bc I haven't seen this influx in southern CA where I'm from!

Yes the parents are wild caught and the babies are looking black like the parents.
