PM me, please.

I would not breed clarkiis if I were you. Might be to hard to sell.

Check with Inland Aquatics if don't find anything locally. I know Morgan has several mated pairs for sale recently.

Why do you think so? They are harder to find wild these days, and largely die once captured.

 

[fkdenton]

I have never seen to great of a intrest in them. And I think I have read in the fish breeding forums that clarkiis and maroons are both hard to sell. Did you ask those guys. I think black ocs would be were the moneys at. That or onyx percs.

 

[Kathy55g]

Those guys are where I got the idea. That and the stores that ask if I am breeding any.

But I agree, basically. They are probably not as popular as ocellaris.

bangii cardinals = the answer


get a few pairs of them and kiss the clowns goodbye

 

[Kathy55g]

bangais are nice but you get few per batch. Hard to beat clownfish at 600 fish per nest that survive to bulletproof, every 11 days. If only I had the room to grow them all....

What about True Percs?

Lovely fish, like them a lot. They take months to get their second stripe, a year to grow to 1 inch. Ocellaris: fully striped at 3 weeks, take 3-4 months to grow to 1 inch.

If I bred percs, in two months my system would be full up for the year. I would have to wait 10 months to harvest another nest. What fun would that be?

If you're still looking for Clarkiis, Andy (Andy's Animals) has some. . .

Saw a huge clarkii at MS today. Wasn't mated up but it was certainly a female.

 

[fkdenton]

Not clarkiis but something differnt. Decent price.
