Anyone Breeding Onyx Percs

[zerocool2382]

I havent been logged on in a long time and tried searching for the onyxs with no luck. I remember alot of you guys used to breed some rare clowns and I was wondering if any one is breeding the Onyx variation of true perculas. If so whats the going rate for juveniles. Thanks alot everyone

I have two spawning pairs right now. They are just now getting to the point that they are tending their nests without a lot of prehatch loss. So it is going to be months before I have any ready to move.

Rob has been breeding them for sometime now and Inland has been breeding them for sometime too. I am sure you could contact them for some now.

I have seen CB going for $20 to $80.

Try Rod Buehler, I know he breeds them.

[trueblackpercula]

I am sure there is some others around here . I dont have any right now but i am sure Rod Buehler has many.

how do i reach rod buehler, im in nyc and am very intersted in a pair of ocellaris for myself, nothing super rare or fancy but just a bunch of them for my tanks (the others i had did carpet dives) :( its kinda depressing seeing a pair of clowns loose the other clown, they just dont look happy when their mate is missing :( i was honestly depressed for about 3 days

[zerocool2382]

fingerwrinkles has some nice babbies...

[Baalz]

fingerwinkles look very nice and he is cheaper then others sold on RC.

[gqjeff]

Just got some pics from Rod and his are very very nice.. Look for new trio in this forum those are some of Rod's babies... I have a couple coming from fingerwrinkles tomorrow and Robins are very very nice aswell. I will post pics in my gallery tomorrow or later this week..

Peace all, jeff

[criccio]

I don't believe fingerwrinkles are the onyx variety (correct me if I'm wrong) which may account for a lower price, where Rod's are the onyx variant.

[gqjeff]

Here is the 2 I have coming.. they are the 2 in the center.. These are about 12 month old so they should color a little more.. I am hoping they are Onyx as they were not cheap by any means...

Phone to Rod's Reef is 1-815-748-2141 or search here under Rod Buehler

[Dieselraver]

thanks for the input guys, while robs onxy percs are gorgous and i would buy from him anytime i really am not looking to spend that kind of $$ on a pair of clowns, im looking for a pair of clarkii, true percs, ocellaris' only!!! maybe getting a few of them if thye aren't all that expensive, if anyone knows of anyone selling them please fwd them my name and have them PM me, or better yet, reply here and i will contact them!!! thanks again!

[SHOmuchFUN]

I called Inland Aquatics yesterday and they informed me that they sold their LAST pair of A. Polymnus that I've been searching FEVERISHLY for :furious:

I did not ask them about Ocellaris, but they'd be worth a shot. I'm also looking for the blk/white variety of the clowns.

And the search continues :(

Dieselraver,

You have a pm.

[zerocool2382]

dieselraver i see you live in queens...Yesterday i was up at Absolutely Fish which is very close to NYC on route 46 in jersey. They had a pair of true percs for 110 a pair pf clarkis for 90 i beleive, brown saddle back pair for 110 and they even had a single white cap clown for sale (199). I couldnt support the white cap in my tank right now but it was still very interesting to see in person the clown that everyone always drouls over on these forums. Hope this helps on your hunt

[criccio]

zero,

Was the cap full or broken?

Thanks, Chris

[zerocool2382]

the cap on the top was complete but one strip that came up the side of the face to form almost the bonnet appearance wasnt alll the way up to the cap...maybe 1/2 cm from the top

[zerocool2382]
