Would You Rather Have a Pair of B&W Ocellaris, or Normal Ocellaris Clowns?

[mppanp]

I put one of each in my tank at the same time, and they haven't left each others side.

Thanks for all the replies. Ha Im actually really surprised to see this many people prefer b&w clowns over the regular ocellaris clowns.

 

[ALH]

B & W here, too

 

[andymh]

I personally like percs the best but between those two, it would have to be the black and whites.

Im a classic kind of guy and like the orange. To me that is the way nature made them and for some reason I like it that way.

Maybe i'm misinterpreting what your saying, but black ocellaris are a naturally occurring color variant from Darwin

 

[rkelman]

Who do you figure made the black ones?

The black or "Darwin" Ocellaris are a natural variant local to the reefs off Darwin Australia.

I think it depends on what you are getting them for, and what color the background is on your tank. If you have a black background, the B+W's kinda disappear into the background. If you plan on breeding, with the hopes of making a little cash, I'd go with B+W's.

 

[hops523]

I do have a black background, and I was actually maybe thinking of breeding some day. So saying that I went out and got a pair of the normal ocellaris clowns. I don't know why, I just prefer them over the b&w clowns.

I would advise against the 6 line as they are very aggressive to any new tankmates you may introducate after him. I sometimes wish I wouldn't have gotten one.

I have an ORA B&W and a ORA Black Ice Semi-snowflake.

I think these are beauties..they were sold fast. They called them Fancy Ocellaris.



If I had a choice between a pair like these or the b/w ocellaris. I'd probably go for these.

 

[NaClCrocodile]

Those are sweet. How much did they go for?

 

[roc5288]

I love them all. But by far the b+w are my fav. I have two pair of b+w and two normal.

 

[ScubaDiver93]

I mixed. I have a B&W paired with a regular true percula. Coolest pair ever!

 

[wicked_NaCl_h2o]

$129.99

they were gone the instant they posted them for sale.

 

[ThunderTang]

I'd have to say B&W, i've had both types of clowns but i just love B&Ws.

 

[crooks]

Fancy Ocellaris have more black on them? Does anyone else have anymore info about them?

 

[bskinn77]

What do you guys think is a fair price for a mated pair of black clowns?

I paid $100 but have seen them for much more.

Is this a good deal?

What did you guys pay for yours?

 

[ocellaris123]

I paid $80 for my pair black and whites. I just bought two which were alone together in a tank, and they spawned a year later

When I first got them

With their spawn

I have both. Orange and black. Orange durning the day... Black when moon lights are on in the evenings. LOL

Aren't those Perc's? Look at the front dorsel fin. Percs have 9 while Occ's have like 11? Or do I have it backwards?

Just to show the color difference... The lighter at bottom tank raised Occ...Red baby is just as red as my scarlet skunk shrimp. Both were 1-1 1/8"

Now around 2 1/2" (next to goby)
