    How much are the black percs?

    Can you take pics of various corals they have, so then we can order for the next week?

    Thx

    Do you know where the black ocellaris (false perculas) were raised?

    add a cleaner wrasse with the morish idol and they normally help keep any ich off and keep a sponge in there for them to pick at but not to bad if you go with that and depending on type of corals if you should add one

    The only reason they may not is if you cannot get them to eat, this one that I have in the store is eating.  Run a good UV also helps.

    These are wild percs and not tank raised. 
    Are they perculas or all black ocellaris?  How do you know they are wild caught and what size are they (in inches from snout to tail).

    I know they are wild because that is how the wholesaler purchased them with thousands of other fish out of the ocean.  They were sold to me as black percs.  They range in size from 1" to 3".  I have two pairs that will be sold as pairs and I have 3 individual ones.

    I am just questioning because wild caught black clowns are very rarely imported into the US.  I also know the wholesalers in Chicago do carry many tank raised clownfish.  If you could post pictures of them or email the pictures to mestang99@yahoo.com I would really like to see them before taking the road trip.

    Just curious Travis, since I know you are very knowledgeable on clowns, are you trying to find tank raised or wild caught?  and why?
