onyx percula

[Prototype220]

Just paid for a black onyx percula clown....cant wait to bring it home and share pics! Already have a beaded anem, but my anemone shrimp has already claimed it. Planning on getting a hammer or torch coral for the shrimp when i bring home the clown, as I'm sure the clown will have the shrimp evicted if he decides to host the anemone :D pics soon

Can't wait to see the pics. :mrgreen:

The beaded nem isn't a natural host for percula clowns so chances are they won't even notice it .... But, I think it's cooler with the shrimp anyway :Cheers:

And even if the clown did host the anemone, they could co-habitat the anemone together sometimes.

Ive had a clown host a condy anem before so stranger things have happened. Told myself i wouldnt get another amemone just because they dont live nearly as long in captivity as they do in the wild, but the shrimp seems happy so...

 

[BL1]

Nothing in our tanks will live nearly as long but, there are some captive anemones going 15+ years in captivity.

Took back the anemone because when I posted pics, everyone said it should NOT be white :/ Although I have seen white anems at the lfs, I never bought one so I mistakenly assumed it was ok. He seemed alright at first, but two days after I bought him he was on the floor of the tank not attatched to anything (not a good sign). So to be safe I took him back. I really want a rbt anem anyway so i guess I'll save up for one.
One a brighter note, I finally got my onyx perc! Here's a pic :D This is the best one, obviously he wont sit still and my camera doesnt want to cooperate

Very nice addition...congrats.

Congrats a good addition love my pair.

I wanted a pair, but they only had one :'( . I still want to find another unique perc, like maybe a picasso, but i need to hurry up before the onyx gets territorial. Anyone know where i can get one for a decent price?

 

[BL1]

This is a good place to get them, most of the people I know in NC that got picassos got them from here Grade A picasso clownfish for sale

 

[Prototype220]

Thanks! That's not a bad price either for a grade A! I've seen B's go for that and higher :/

 

[ErinCahir]

He's super cute, Prototype!

I know this is old but would $75 for a pair of black onyx be a good price? Looking to replace my black & white clowns.

 

[FishyReef]

Wow, looking at some of the prices on that site, all I have to say is that I feel incredibly lucky to have snagged my beautifully marked domino clown pair for $85!!

 

[bigford]

wow $150 for a clown seems NUTS!!!!

 

[Prototype220]

Yeah, I didn't end up getting a "designer"/Ora clown...but I did get a mated saddleback pair that I love! Only paid $50 for them :)
