ORA Stripeless Clowns
I just found a new aquarium shop and I noticed these beauties as soon as I walked in the door. I have never seen anything like them. Let me know what you think!

They were about $39/each. I was expecting alot more when I asked "how much." They are pretty much paired up as well. The owner of the aquarium shop told me there are only about 100 in the USA right now.

BTW, there are much more than 100 in the USA right now. You have to understand that, yes there is a limited supply, and that they (ORA) supply hundreds upon hundreds of stores...

I have had my two for a few months now. They add incredible personality and color to our 90g.

Good luck!!

This picture was taken back in November, when I first got them:

Got to make sure those stores get the story straight I recently joined the "naked clown" club as well. I notice most of the pictures I see show one clown with a bit of white on his cheek (my pair has this as well, although it's not shown in the pics):

The LFS where got mine had a total of around six of these clowns, the two that I purchases were the only two with the spots. I like the spots personally, I think it adds character.

I'd dub them the "nudies" and ask them everyone time someone comes over...."*gasp* Clownies, where are your stripes!?" then turn to the guest and say, "I'm so sorry, this is so embarassing...."

Hmm...I'm gonna have to use that one!-- I'd say these are the perfect candidates for a barebottom setup.
