how to get ahold of a dark orange/red false perc.....?



http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...BertnErnie.png


clowns with this regional variation color, which is a lot deeper and darker orange than most.....almost even a red, is very hard to come by......the darkest pic on top was the ladt one I had and he did not make it......no idea why since nothing else has died within the last 8 months, but it happens, especially when you waited 6 months to finally get something!.......oh and Dr macs wont work because he doesnt sell them with the black outline around the white stripes on the body......i know this is mainly luck of the draw, but if anyone has tiny dark orange/red false percula clowns like these and is willing to sell them to me, or knows of any store i can order them from, please let me know...thx a bunch

and as i do realize they can get darker with a good diet.......they can't get this dark unless they started out much darker than the average false perc........and also, look out for the brown coloration because sometimes when they have that darker coloration, it is only from thick outlines and more of a brownish color.....this is not what im looking for....thx again for any help

or even if there is someone out there who goes to a vendor to hand pick your own clowns for your store, and get to choose through a ton.......if you could grab me one or two and mail order it/them, i'd be willing to pay a good amount for your time and effort....thanks u guys!!!

And i have been to over 10 fish stores in the last 3 days searching for another one like the top pic i posted, and i have had no luck...that is why im coming to u guys!!! thx

Really, I don't think "dark" percs are hard to come by...

I find that as they mature they gain that coloration.. You shouldn't have a problem finding one..

But then again, maybe I'm just different.. or my eyes atleast.

EDIT: By the way, there are two of these threads in this forum.. I'm sure the mods will figure that out, but I'm just pointing it out

That intense contrast is common wih captive bred percs. We get them from a local breeder and www.orafarm.com
