Urgent! clownfish price question

[EthanHawaii]

I found a pair of clownfish for sale from someone who is getting out of the hobby. He said they are 4/5 yours old, I offered him $60 and he accepted it (is $60 to much?)

The owner has no clue what type they are (I think they are ocellaris) so here is a video of the clowns that the owner sent me.

Thanks

I paid 20$ per for small clowns probably 1yr or less of age they are ocellaris.

If they are a spawning pair, they are worth at least $60. Obviously they are worth $60 to you and that is really all that matters.

Fair price and what phender said is spot on.

Ok, thanks everyone!

I'm picking them up very soon and need to know if 40min is ok for them to have no aeration (thats how long the drive takes).

One more question, should I place the female and male in the same transport bucket? or should I place them in separate buckets?

 

[cprice]

Should be no problem to have them in the same bucket, they look great!

I have an air pump that I use for fish transport. Mainly when I deliver fish to the LFS, and for transport larger fish long distance. 2 clowns in a 5 gal bucket with 1-3 gal of water will be fine for hrs. I would not worry about it.

They are in my tank right know and doing great!
Before I placed them in my tank the male started doing a really odd dance thing?

As you can see in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iodj4ZI9-zw They were hosting in the anemone at the original owners tank, so do you think it will host in my GBTA? They have not yet shown any interest, but then again they have only been in the tank for an hour.

Thanks everyone.

Still doing great. Do you think these are wild caught or tank raised clowns? The male looks to be tank raised as his nose has a skinny look, but the female has no deformities.

Thanks

Hard to say, but I would guess the same. Wild clowns tend to come in rather large. I think it would be more plausible that the male was TR and the female was wild caught.

That's what I thought.

Thank you

I printed a picture of clownfish hosting a BTA and taped it on the side of the tank, i'm crossing my fingers it works!
