ahh the answer I was looking for.
Rod is the owner of a fish store who has managed to successfully breed Onyx percs on a regular basis.

I didn't get any more of them, cuz I'm just completely out of space!!!
But, he has the most gorgeous corner setup I've ever laid my eyes on and I'm hoping to get him started on one for me real soon:

That way, I can showcase another pair..............
The prices were based upon age/coloration, but I'll bet you would have bought a bunch of them if you got to see them all swimming together like that!
Wish you were here for IMAC!

Rod is a local legend around the western burbs , If you are anywhere near Chicago his place is worth the drive out to Dekalb. His hands on knowledge is a truely rare find, drills tanks, is the McGiver of diy, friendly, and a master of the surge tank.

world champions !lol, yeah yeah, your lucky the phillies are a pile of ........!
the sox will prob win it again this year. thanks for offer. let me know if you of other conf. like that again.
its killing me........... did ora have alot of werid looking picassos?
i was told that most conf. do not have alot of livestock vendors so thats why i didnt plan for imac. i go to enough boring conf with lectures. honestly if i knew ora and rod were at same place i would of been there. i did asked ora a couple months ago but i thought they mentioned it was for vendors only.

embryoguy, I promise I'll let you know ahead of time when we have it again, but it's probably next year.......
Yea, I was really excited since it's my first IMAC. The vendors are great, but I really went for the seminars and to meet all of the visiting reefers - i didn't know I'd get the chance to meet and talk with some of the industry icons afrter their seminars!
Actually, ORA only had a few, but it's the first time I got to see everything they offer, all in one place! I'd like to win a few of the ORA livestock items that are being raffled, but that takes good luck! :lol:

I bought my male about a year ago. He faded a bit but has started to regain some color. He has not grown at all but I believe that's because the female he is with has remained very small.
Rod's a great guy to deal with and, regardless of color, I'm very happy with my perc as he's been incredibly healthy & hardy.

well said superbeagle.
i think we get all caught up in exact color traits. im very guilty of this myself. but when it comes down to it. if the fish is healthy and strong color everything else is secondary.
i notice in your male, that its body is very stocky . i find that typical of rods clowns. a trait i personally favor. ithis is not common in wc clowns. atleast the 8 or so wc si ones ive owned.
