There are some available here.
But as for a pair that we've been discussing, one of my big questions is still unclear. If this pair does mate together, will their frye have the same coloration traits?

No one knows for sure, b/c a phenotype "snowflake" pair has never spawned and the fry never raised. But, judging from experience in breeding clownfish and also from what I know about the parents of the "snowflakes", only a low percentage will have the phenotype.

Are you kidding me?! Aquariasts, reefers, researchers have done so many different studies on clowns, let alone the entire marine biology practice. Are you saying there have been NO spawning of "snowflake" clowns? There has to be some hobbyist or researcher that has had spawning pair of "snowflakes", and raised the frye of "snowflakes". Well, you can ask that company in England how they get their highest success rate of raising "snowflakes".

Should they have shown it already, or is it still early? Is there a clear male vs. female relationship in your pair? Do you think the are going to mate, or are you doubtful?

I think it is too early. If TFC had them at least 10 months before selling them that would only put them at about 14mths old. There is a definite male & female by size and submission. they, however do not clear rocks or anything or even keep other fish away from their Anemone like my other split pair. By the way, The Snowflake male and Perc female are laying their 3rd spawn as I type. This time they laid them on a tile that I put in for them instead of the glass.

I haven't yet. They have been small spawns and I don't have the really have the time. I do however have my Rot & Phyto cultures ready in case I change my mind. I have been using them to feed my corals. They have been spawning on the glass and I did not want to go through the hassle of setting up my fry trap. I did put in a piece of a broken planter pot in case I wanted to take these out. I tried to take a pic but the eggs are the same color as the piece of pottery. they get darker and shiny black eyes before they hatch and I will take pics then. That should be next Wed. If you search back there are some pics of their 1st spawn about a month ago.

just wanted to add that these clowns are becoming very available and more affordable so someone is breeding them [england] pretty fast.
I can get them for $75 but I cannot divulge were from. I'm ordering a pair in a month |

Is that $75 for a pair? That's crazy. I was told that LA wholesalers are selling them for over $300 per pair, and are only sold to regular customers...no one-timers. Only those retailers that buy lots of clowns (and snowflakes) on a regular basis.

When most folks in the business can't keep snowflake, picasso, or even percula/ocellaris straight, be wary of clown "deals". Very wary.

Could be copy cats, market saturation, or a million other reasons.
One should still be very cautious when dealing with lower priced "named", infrequently available, or delicate clowns.
