Well that didn't happen. I'm not paying 100 for a regular percula clown. Gona take a drive to an actual saltwater store tomorrow.

Geez! That is obnoxiously priced.

Black and white were 150

I got my black and white clown for $30, and the normal ones are only $18 where I live!

That's what I was expecting! But I'm not looking to get the normal ones. I would like to get something different as far as clowns this time. Unfortunately the other place didnt have much of a selection so I just picked up 3 coral. I'll post pics once they open up

Petco has decent sale prices on clowns frequently but they also often have ich...

My “local” petco just redid their aquatics section, and while the facade is shiny white and new I can assure you they aren’t taking any better care of the fish!

The one that is remodeling always seemed to have healthy fish. I rarely had any disease or losses (fresh or salt) when purchasing from that one. They occasionally would have a single tank with "Fish Under Observation" disconnected from the rest of the bank of tanks, but usually it appeared to be a very minor case of ich in only that tank and they were medicating. The other 3 local Petcos, not so much. One of them had ich in all 3 banks of saltwater, dead fish in multiple tanks, and nothing separated from the rest of the system, actively selling fish.

I have a 3d printed 3/4 random flow nozzle to trade for any type of coral frag if anyone is interested. I do have a posting on the trade forum but not sure how much traffic it gets

[AnotherReefHobbyist]
