New Maroon Clownfish!

I Just got a new breeding pair of gold nugget maroon clownfish!

They are already in a forest of nems I have for them (6 Sherman BTAs) and they love it! Greedy little fish!

Pictures please!! These are my favorite clowns and are very hard to come by. I only seem to find big ones that were trade ins. I want a small one...are you going to try and raise babies?!

Where are you located?

 

[MSB123]

I am thinking of selling them to a LFS, but I have no idea how much I should sell them for.

St Louis MO. I have no idea on the price range, babies are never around here (that I have found). I’ve seen 1 gold nugget adult and she was a trade in bc she was a bully (surprise!) and they were asking $69.99 for her. We get all the designer clown babies...those go anywhere from $80-$199 per fish. Not my style, I just love the maroons for some reason.

What size tank do you have?

What size tank do you have?

180 DT, 53 sump, 20 for the clowns

I really don’t know the prices well, I’ve seen them go for $100 for a quarter inch.
I would never charge that much.
I’m thinking $20-25 for 3/4”
Mabye a bit more depending on what other people think.

No telling...I’ll keep any eye out and report back here if I come across any baby nuggets for sale.

I am seeing them go for $160-200 for over 1.5”, and about $100 for under an inch.
I think I would sell mine eating pellets (1”), and being fully captive bread, they will not carry any risk of carrying disease (Unless there is something in my tank, which there isn’t) ;)

Wowzers. I’m not that far into the hobby so I’m not comfortable in my skills to spend that much on a something I’m not sure I can keep alive...I only have 1 starry blenny and he was $20. He’s been with me for almost 2 months and so far so good *knock on wood* can’t wait to see your progress with the nuggets. Will you keep a thread/journal when the time comes?

 

[MSB123]

I will try. I have to figure out how to breed them first., ;)

How are the nuggets doing? Are they alone in a tank?
