Well, my 10g nano's been up for over a month and everything's going good. I think for a Xmas present I'll buy myself a pair of these little guys. Anyone buy any recently to know what ages/prices he has available? It'd be nice to get a couple of the cheapy ones and watch them grow up.

It took a few days for him to respond to me, but once he did he was very informative and nice. Its a busy time of year, give him a bit.

He just emailed me back, saying the best time to call him is in mid Jan. He has some older ones that dont have much color that he's selling cheaper, but he's getting like 3 more batches soon.

HI everyone and Happy New Year!

I was just wondering if anyone has Rods Onyx's hosting a carpet?
I skimmed through all the pics and noticed most are with BTA's
Sorry if I missed someones pic
I absolutely love the ways Rods clowns look and eventually want to get 2 but I really want a carpet to be their host
Thanks everyone Oh BTW - they will be in a 150gal in the making

Rod houses his pair in a gigantea carpet and i had mine in a haddoni for a while, they like carpets.

i think i got my pair back in october and today i noticed that both the "male" and "female" are getting darker. i havent really seen them much since they like to hide in a small bta. shes also starting to get a black outline on her fins with orange surrounded by the black and shes getting black around her third white stripe thats coming in. shes pretty fat and bigger than the other

the male's colors are coming in really slow though..he doesnt have a third white stripe like the female yet and the black is only on his body but spreading slowly. any idea why? is it because the bigger one is taking most of the food?

I've got a call into Rod's, left a message.. I might be a new member to the club by the end of the week, unless he's sold out or only has the $75 versions.

Well I went cheap, ordered some older clowns that don't have a lot of black on them but have the possibility of darkening up over the years. I was in a toss up between these and regular percs which I could have gotten for $13 each, so I'll take the chance that they may or may not... anyways, they ship on Monday and will be here Tuesday by 10:30! excited.

dzeadow: Cool. How much did you pay each? Rod was telling me about them, but I'm currently low on cash, and shipping is gonna kill me when I order these. Also, POST PICS!!! when you get them.

I'm not sure yet what the exact price is but he said they'd be between $25-35, and I'm sure shipping will be in the $50 range. I'll definitely post pics when they get here. I'll feel a little better about the shipping process too because they're a little bigger.. I always feel like the little guys are more susceptible to shipping stress.

www.rods-reef.com it doesn't have a whole lot on it, and it's best to call and order from him over the phone. But the website has all his #'s and hours.
