Odds of finding this?

What do you think the odds of finding a pair of Misbar Maroons would be? Either that or finding 2 seperate ones and them getting along?
To me this sounds pretty impossible. I am interested in what you think the odds of me ending up with a pair of misbar maroons is?

From what I understand al ot of marrons are misbars, but I think only the tabk raised ones. Look for a LFS that orders from ORA and ask them to order a few in. Good luck.

I found one at a LFS and it sparked my interest. They are holding him for me til I can get my QT set up and pick him up on wed. Now the tricky part is finding another one and getting them to pair up/get along. Maroons are hard to come by around me.

odds of finding them...pretty good (any decent lfs has access)
odds of mating...that's up to mother nature bro

I don't care if they spawn...I just want them to pair up and get along
I found one already like said above. The center bar on one side has like a sawtooth look and the other side center is short. Hes really cool looking

Make sure the male is far smaller than the larger female and you may have a chance.

I waited 4-5 months for a single non-misbar maroon till I finally gave in and got a occelaris. For some reason my LFS's cant get a hold of maroons at all. I already put the one on hold. I don't know if its a male or female. Its alone in a anem tank. Its about 1-2" though. Would it be safe to say that its a male or no? Otherwise anybody got a way to figure it out. (none that I know of).
The one I found looks amazing. The tips of its fins are neon orange plus the stripe pattern I mentioned above.

When people refer to "misbar", are you talking about, or is that referring to a specific color of clown that has a misbar, or any clown. A lot of people are only referring to the gold banded. I have a pair in my tank, but white stripe only, and misbar patterns are different on both of them.

From what I understand. Maybe I am wrong though. Maroons start w/ white stripes and then they develop the gold. I am just referring to the stripe pattern. Not color. Although it would be nice to get this one with white stripes and another misbar with gold. I pick him up the day after christmas and then I will post a pic once hes in the QT. If I get get my camera to work decently that is.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Alright, I have a few errands to run (Post Office, Bank, Groceries, etc The fun stuff
) and then I will be headed to pick this guy up. Once I get him into QT I will try to snap a decent pic of him for you.

Just got back from the LFS with the clown (better looking than I remember it) and a Refractometer so I can get better salt readings

Hes in QT now I just noticed something though it doesn't have pectoral fins.......is this normal for a Maroon? he seems to swim fine and there are no scars that show that they got taken off some how. I will get a picture of him later
