Tank Bred Mcculloch's Clownfish Pair
Amphiprion mccullochi

 

[Marine88]

But why wre they so much money????

 

[Alexander]

Those clownfish are not good looking IMO. too bad someone wasted the $6000 on those

 

[Bifferwine]

They are ugly. Why would you spend so much money for a BROWN fish? Just get a little FW tank and be done with it!

 

[daugherty]

there is only a couple breeders so they can charge what every they want

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah of course they can charge whatever they want. That explains the supply side. But can anyone on here explain the demand side? Why is there even a demand for such ugly brown fish? I don't get it. Besides the "novelty" factor of having a rare fish. But if that's the only reason why you're paying 6 grand for ugly brown fish, you have too much money on your hands, and I'd be happy to help you out with that problem by taking some of it off of your hands.

 

[daugherty]

i think they are very ugly and would not spend 10 dollars on them

you answered your own question biff, rarity makes fish prettier to some people, and james, as far as a i know the person who bred those fish is the only person successful in doing so

Its not even worth free! I don't have room or will not make room for 2 fish that look that stupid.

 

[dustin_P74]

please explain how this clownfish is ugly and brown

 

[Bifferwine]

How is THIS not brown, the picture you linked to on the previous page. It is brown. And it is indeed ugly.

 

[dustin_P74]

i dont know why there is such a color difference on the exact same fish taken by the exact same person

 

[Bifferwine]

The colors in the picture you just posted look bluer in general, the rocks and corals. The one I linked to looks more true to life. They've obviously been altered to some degree, but I think the bluer one moreso.

 

[Marine88]

Same here woudn't pay 6 grand for brown fish

 

[Marine88]

that one is a little bit better but not the brown one

 

[dustin_P74]

that one is a little bit better but not the brown one

its the same fish

 

[Marine88]

Yes inow but like biff said the other picture looked brown this one looks black or dark blue so it looks better
