should i get or not

[dartmyth]

went to the lfs today to see what they had and had these maine blizzard clownfish.
they are a bit pricey at $350 for a pair.

 

[rdahlke1105]

Those almost look like the ORA platinum clowns.

That price sounds about right for them. If you like them, and they're worth $350 to you then you should get them.

 

[rdahlke1105]

I was looking around and it does look like the ORA platinums are going for roughly $200 for one, so $350 should be about right.

 

[dartmyth]

they are from Sea & Reef Aquacultures in Maine
which was started in a bedroom closet at UMO as a project by one of the students.

They look like the ORA platinums.

If you like them, go for it. I personally think they look like expensive goldfish. :lol:

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

Platinums/blizzard clowns don't appeal to me. But if they look like their worth $350 to you, go for it!

 

[Rufio808]

I honestly like the Onyx or Picasso Clownfish. There's nothing wrong with plain ol' perculas either!

If you get them just make sure its something you will enjoy looking at all the time.

If you like them, go for it. I personally think they look like expensive goldfish. :lol:

I agree...could think of a nice stock list for 350 too...

Ugly fish, like they have leprosy or something.

I say get some regular clowns, a bottle of white out, and send the other 300 bucks my way:mrgreen:

But honestly, the only person who can decide if something is worth it is you.

 

[wontonflip]

Hahaha...I'd never buy a fish just cuz they're unique...they'd have to be unique AND pretty (not that I'd buy a fish that expensive anyway hehehehe)/ But to each their own!

 

[dcantucson]

I think True Picasso Clowns are much much cooler. And only $149.99 a pair.

[Zissou]

My favorite are semi snowflakes. :Cheers:

 

[CDaubs]

WOW! 4 months into the hobby and you're ready to spend that much money on a pair of fish?? Wish I had your investment advisor!! :bowdown:

 

[sen5241b]

I vote NO --do not get them.

 

[ltljoker]

I wouldnt pay that much for those clowns but i would love to get theses

The most awsome LIGHTNING CLOWN:bounce:

 

[JBowden]

I'd never spend that much on fish.

Heck, I'm not even ballsy enough to spend $70 on a fish, let a lone $350.
