Try Inland Aquatics.

David, Have you ordered any adult pairs from them before? If so what did you think? How long until the started spawning?

Personally I have not but Morgman has nothing but praise for them. PM him about it. I did talk to them on the phone about some black cap basslets and they sounded knowledgeable and proffessional, but the price was out of this world so I passed.

Inland Aquatics have great stock. Just make sure you ask how long they have had the pair. Last I heard they did not have any ocellaris pairs. That was about a year to a year and a half ago.

Be prepared to pay top dollar for IA fish. I am happy with my purchases from them and I am satisfied with the shipping and products they provide.

You can also try Dr. Mac on the East Coast.

It looks like they have some ocellaris clowns. These are all pairs from ORA.

I don't believe many places sell spawning pairs. If they do I am sure they will be pricey.

Thanks for the feedback.

Morgman, Did you purchase the adult pairs from IA or just the pairs?

I never really asked how old they were. They said they had them for sometime. They were nice fat clowns and were very healthy.

You will be happy with your purchase from them.

Probably 2 years ago Jhardman bought a pair of maroons from them that spawned within 2 months. Do a search for his post.
