Looking for black Perc's

As the title states Meghan and I are in search for a pair of Black Perc. Or snowflake, squareflake clown's but I don’t think these will be in the price range I want to spend:-p please keep us in mind if you spot any. Marine dreams had a pair of black perc but they where sold.

Thanks,
Meghan and Mike

If you can figure out how to get my 4 year old pair of black oscellaris to spawn Brian will have a never ending supply available.

I'll let you know if I see any ..............

lookout888, I know you want black but just in case you don't find them we have our true percs that will be for sale. They use to have a carpet to host in but after losing several of our fish to the carpet it had to go. Now they are hosting in our torch and we would rather not have them hosting in that. Needless to say they would love a carpet or some type of anemone again.
Both have been great clowns and aren't aggressive.

I wanted to write and let you know that there are two types of black percs that commonly get confused.

The are the Black percs, which are actually ocelaris species. Those are also called Darwin percs. We have several, singles and pairs. They are all tank raised and very hardy with slightly more aggressive tendencies than the regular ocellaris. They do not go into anemones right away, it takes a while...About 5 months for mine to host in my RBT

I also have a breeding pair of Black Onyx True Percs and I have juveniles that are just starting to blacken. The are a true percula species from the papau new guinea region. They are very peaceful and will readily host in an anemone.

It is quit common to see people get these two mixed up. I have both, so please feel free to contact me...

We can also get the ocellaris species that have the unique patterns which have been labeled as Picasso, or snowflake. This is a recessive genetic variation.
