nice fish
are you serious you got a PAIR for $15 my lfs sells em $30 for 1 but i rarely go there and ***** sells $15 for 1.

 

[fedukeford]

EXTREAMLY good deal, my LFS sells a pair for $70

 

[coldpuffer]

wow gorgeous percs and great deal

 

[wax32]

Those look like A. ocellaris not A. percula.

 

[coachklm]

yup 15$ for both....i have no idea about the sexing of them or what not but i couldnt resist the deal... i know they are true percs and that they swim together everywhere. or almost everywhere. so anything i should look out for on these guys/gals? :thinking:
ok difference? between occelerus and percs?

 

[nanocuber7]

sound like a good deal to me percs are 30$ a pop at my lfs

 

[wax32]

A. ocellaris are cheaper and more common in the hobby. They host different anemones also.

 

[coachklm]

studiing the picture it seems like occ. has no black and perc do mine has alot of black which define the white stripes.

 

[wax32]

Yup, percs have a lot of black, LOT being the key word. Yours don't have a lot.
Here are my ocellaris...

 

[wax32]

Here are some A. percula. Note that ALL clownfish are highly variable in their coloration.

Nope. Most clowns I have seen actually gain some black.

woops.... i read jacknjill's post wrong... eeps! good catch wax.

 

[jacknjill]

thats awesome. im going to try and starta nano soon and i want black onyx clowns, but its not in my budget. so the next best thing is true percs, which is fine by me!!!!!

 

[wax32]

The new craze around seems to be "no stripe" ocellaris clowns. Kinda fugly if you ask me. I like plain old tomato clowns fpr plain pretty factor.

 

[jacknjill]

no stripes?!!! then why do you want a clownfish? heres mine
