I just looked at some online. That looks about right. They sold it to me for 17.

Good deal

I agree, davinci, and 17 is a great deal! Enjoy!
Here's a pic of my 2 davinci. By far my favorite clownfish!

Awesome!! I'm trying to find it a mate. Any ideas?

Picaso Clown.

Normally I try to find them locally, avoid the stress of shipping. If you're in denver, Ambrosio aquatics had some a couple weeks ago, saw them at the reef builder show. If you order online, I had a great experience with extreme clownfish. Alex is just down the road from sea and reaf hatchery, so that also helps avoid added stress to the fish.

Like Salty1962 said, a Picasso is a good pairing as well. My clown in the lower right side; one side looks more like a picaso, his other side (not shown) is definitely DaVinci. He has asymmetrical markings, which I love. The other (up top) is perfectly symmetrical.

When picking up a 2nd clown, try to find one that is significantly smaller than your existing, or much larger than your existing. It will help them establish dominance without any bickering. If they are too close in size, they will fight until one submits or dies my 2 clowns are similar in size, and they bicker a little, but the one on top is definitely the dominant clown.

Da Vinci strain for sure, any Ocellaris will match, my picasso's are percs so that is something to watch out for, they will bond in the end tho

 

[cook77]

See I bought them the same day. But he got mixed with this guy. So I bought them together. They seem to get along really well. Not sure if they will pair. Cause I'm new at this, and not sure what pairs and what doesn't.

 

[Rudimenta]

If they don't kill each-other the first day they are fine! Bonding or accepting each other isn't in my mind the big issue a productive breading pair is another story

 

[rjl45]

It looks like there is a noticeable size difference. If they are not fighting, you should be good. Which one is Elway? Lol

 

[Rudimenta]

Clowns will always fight to establish dominance even when they are already bonded, what you need to look out for is for example if one clown is at the corner top of a tank and doesn't dare to move because immediately attacked by the dominate clown, if that lasts more than a few hours take them apart
