Best place I have found. Bob is great. Prices are higher than most places, but you will get what you pay for!

I have only seen 2 pairs of mated pairs on DD -- retired ones from ORA.

They have plenty of pairs there, but there is a big difference b/t that and a spawning pair.

Better off just getting a pair, and let natures take its course. First, how do you know you are getting a spawning pair? Unless there is a video/picture of that pair laying eggs, I wouldn't take anyone's word. Plus, shipping and moving into a new take can disrupt the spawning behavior. A while back I sold my spawning pink skunk pair to a local breeder, it took that pair 6 months to start back up.

just get two clowns. i heard one has to be bigger than the other but both pretty small so that they are unsexed.

Thanks for the replies guys... ibluewater.com is where I was looking to make my purchase. So no one thinks paying the extra for the spawning clowns from them is worth the extra money?

I got my clowns a year ago and they have already mated. They were both juveniles when i got them. They pair rather fast.
