where can i find a black&white percula clown

[tongascience]

i am looking for some all black perculas. is there any avalable here or online wc. or cb.

 

[Dman]

I have some, but I'm sure someone closer must have some as well.

 

[tongascience]

if not -are you willing to or have the means of shipping them.

 

[keefsama2003]

you guys talking about ocellaris or saddleback's ?

 

[Dman]

Good point

 

[keefsama2003]

makes a big difference in where to go.

I'm pretty sure just about all the major online vendors have B&W o's. Marine Depot, the Good Doctors, etc.

 

[keefsama2003]

If hes looking for B&W O's he could be looking for saddlebacks or polymnus or even melanistic clarkii

 

[tongascience]

OCELLARIS i guess- if theres no such thing as a all black percula?

 

[Dman]

all black percula is a bit of a misnomer, most WC exporters from places like Malaysia and Singapore call Black Saddlebacks (A. polyumnus, black variant) a B&W Percula.

How can one tell the difference between saddlebacks and percs? I have a mated pair, that has spawned, on the overflow, at the back of the tank, behind the rockwork, at the bottom!!!

I have since added tiles, and started feeding more, and better food, but they have not spawned again that I am aware of....BUMMER! Just wondered if I got them going, what would I call them?? I'm not sure what I have now!
Thanks!!

Post a picture and it will be really easy to ID...PERCULA's will have orange. Black Ocellaris look exactly like regular ocellaris except they are black. Black Saddles have different bar shaping, a different body shape, and at least when young have yellow pectoral fins...

BTW, Black Saddle's normally don't have a tail-stripe.

FWIW,
