Whats the Difference?

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a pair of black clowns and I was wondering what the difference between the black ocellaris and the darwin clowns were? also, do you know where I could get some cheap? I really don't want to spend too much money. Thanks! (also what's the deal with the "midnight blacks" they have just like one spot of white on them?)

They are one in the same. Darwin is the unofficial scientific name.

I would check your LFS if they have any good ones. We often cut customers a break if they buy a pair of fish rather then a single.

Really nothing. Darwin is just the area in Australia that the b&w occelaris is wild caught. It is the only place they exist in the wild. Personally, I would go tank bred. Same price and less chance of dealing with brook, velvet, or intestinal parasites.
