clownfish

Can you breed a true and false percula?

Reefneck · 05-29-2006, 06:17 AM

I would think it would be kind of difficult. You would have to deal with shrinkage if the water is cold and then it would need to be a large clownfish to begin with. Also those fins might hurt if you get rubbed the wrong way.

Sry i dont understand what you are talking about. When i got my second tank. There was a mandarin goby and a true percula. I have a false percula and wondered if it was possible to make them breed. Also, i dont think i can take care of the mandarin, because it is becoming a faded color. Do you think the LFS will buy it from me?

Reefneck · 05-29-2006, 08:06 AM

Local Fish Stores are not allowed to "buy" fish from anyone other than licensed breeders & wholesalers. They might however trade you something or take it just to save it from death.

If you reread my post you will see I was being humorous. False Percs & True Percs will pair up and cross breed but don't count on keeping any fry alive unless you have an elaborate setup designed just for breeding clownfish and a lot of money.

Hey Reef, where you get that? Our LFS's buy from breeder's all the time, they arent commericial chain stores or anything but do buy from us, some even do cash

Reefneck · 05-29-2006, 09:10 AM

Perhaps it is only a Florida law. It it illegal here for us to even take in freebies from any unlicensed person(s).

**Osiris** · 05-29-2006, 11:04 AM

whoa

that really bites!

gdwb10101 · 05-29-2006, 03:22 PM

But i heard that you can get store credit?

warbird102 · 05-29-2006, 04:07 PM

Where and/or how can you gat a fish liscense in Florida?? Are there any requirements and are you sure that one needs a liscense??

Reefneck · 05-29-2006, 05:04 PM

I don't know where/how since I don't need one but I am sure of it. I have a copy of the Florida Statute that states it in my store!

**TheOldSalt** · 05-30-2006, 06:01 AM

Gotta be a florida thing.
I can understand not being able to claim things bought from unlicensed people on taxes, but not being able to take anything? That's just stupid.

And Florida wonders why it's overrun with exotics! Sheesh! If people can't unload their stuff in stores, where does the state think it's going to go?

gdwb10101 · 05-30-2006, 08:16 AM

haha. pretty funny. ISince i'm in miami, 'm going to go to my friend at the LFS and ask him about this. He's actually my friend so i dont expect a false answer.

Could also be so that crack heads do not try to go out to what reefs that are left and catch fish in the wild to sell.

A lot of the stores here MAY take in your fish, buy them, etc. There are a few around here though that will not even if they know your good with them. They did it back then. and they kept getting diseases and such. When I was trying to thin down the collection a few years ag, they flat out denied me even if I would have treated them first.

**Damon** · 10-14-2006, 01:17 PM

Was that just a T.O.S. sighting I just witnessed?

I live in florida and the LFS near me takes in freebies all the time that is where i have gotten rid of several fish

Reefneck · 10-18-2006, 05:16 AM

I would not advertise that too much. FWC can and will shut them down by taking their licence.

**TheOldSalt** · 10-18-2006, 10:18 AM

And I wouldn't put it past them, either!
