I need some ID's

[salty3]

I just picked these up and they were sold to me as maroons but there black with white stripes and orange faces. What are they for sure? Can a maroon be black then turn maroon later? Here is one pic and if needed I'll get more when there acclimated. Thanks for any help.[IMG][/IMG]

Thanks everyone. I had a false perc that hosted my moon brain. I hope these do good and find a host. I'll add more pic in a hour or so I have to run to the store. Thanks again.

Yes those are Ocellaris for sure. That is pretty awesome. I doubt many people would complain about ordering maroons and getting black Occ.
Cool fish!

Thanks I'm deffinetly not complaining. I asked for the black clowns the guy looks at the tags and says those are maroon so I bought them and thought maybe they were and would change color as they got older, but I wasnt sure because I saw other maroons in another tank there and they deffinetly look different.

you got a deal then the maroons are less money at petco

[JamesJR]

I do that from time to time. Nothing like going to a shop that can't identify their clowns and walking out with a rare variety for really cheap!

[salty3]

Yea I paid 16.99 each and the black that they had a few months ago was 39.99

[JamesJR]

That is really cheap!
