hail_sniper · 07-13-2005, 08:35 PM

looks like a mix of false and true percs

maxpayne_lhp · 07-14-2005, 07:39 AM

Is this sight regular at fish store? I kinow nothing about saltwater but I think the stocking is also a big deal for marine fish... even bigger than for the sw ones...

**Fishfirst** · 07-14-2005, 09:45 AM

It is true that stocking is a big deal for marine fish, I always see this at Petco, 20 clowns in a tank, and they have a hard time keeping them (one or two always get harrassed out of the group every day and die). The reason most petstores get clowns in bulk is most distributers give a deal on bulk orders so they can sell the clowns for just as much but make more money off of them)

maxpayne_lhp · 07-14-2005, 10:02 AM

Oh... yah one of the affacts of "Finding Nemo" it sounds pretty much like bettas in the fw end. So aren't they expensive? Or the dealers have far... more interests compared with the loss?

**Fishfirst** · 07-14-2005, 10:46 AM

clownfish are generally pretty cheap... $10-20

Lexus · 07-14-2005, 12:14 PM

I think it is a beautiful site, if only it wasnt hazardous. Clowns are even cheaper around here like $5

fishfreaks · 07-14-2005, 12:45 PM

wow are you guys serious?? theyre still like 50 bucks around here! thats amazing.

**Baby_Baby** · 07-15-2005, 04:50 PM

they're 15 over here. they have yellow ones too

**Scuba Kid** · 07-15-2005, 06:04 PM

$50 for a clown fish?! that's insane!

maxpayne_lhp · 07-15-2005, 06:12 PM

Wow, so cheap for $5 or a bit more!

**TheOldSalt** · 07-15-2005, 11:04 PM

Hey Max, you see that white tube? These tanks are part of a centralized system. While of course that many clowns could never survive in a single tank that size, that tank is connected to a big system of perhaps thousands of gallons.
There are a few such systems in the Northern Illinois area, which is why clowns are so cheap in that region. A few people grow them by the hundreds each month in their basements and sell them cheap all over the area just to get rid of them.
