Wyoming Whites

[MarvinsReef]

are they really that rare? I haven't done much research about them but it seems they are not as abundant as the Platinums. anyone that has them, post away. 1smile1

Wyoming whites aren't extremely rare. Katy at c-quest recently moved their faculty in land to the US instead of being in Puerto Rico, so they are probably still in the stages of getting their fish breeding again. I'd say in the next little bit, we will see more if they get them breeding again.

Thanks for the info.

It sure would be nice to start seeing some of these wyoming whites being sold again I for 1 am lookin to get a pair in the future

Sorry to break the bubble but they are extremely rare.
C quest is pretty much defunct. They have not produced any fish in about 2 years. Won't return any calls from people either. The number one sales person is working for someone else

 

[clowns101]

I talked to Katy not long ago at all? Interesting....

 

[Just Clownin Around]

I have one. That is breeding with a regular o and it is spurratic at best

 

[Just Clownin Around]

I know a bunch of stores and breeders that have been trying to contact her and she refuses to answer there calls. I wish they would put a few fish out there. No one has onyx like there's.

 

[clowns101]

Interesting, maybe I should call her? It was under 6 months ago I talked to her. I don't think that they would throw their business out like that, but who knows...

 

[MarvinsReef]

yikes! so the few that they come out with are it?!? maybe in a few years, there will be more breeders that'll come out with them.

 

[Just Clownin Around]

Most breeders or people that are trying to breed these are unsuccessful to date. If you do find some be very careful most "unknown" breeders are trying to pass off platiniums as whyoming whites. 2 of my friends got burned already. I have had fish hatch out but none with any markings to call home about

To clarify for people looking. Wyoming Whites are basically mostly white ocellaris. Platinums are percula. Platinums are common but 'White Ocellaris' or Wyoming Whites are rare at the moment. I have one and try to get them all the time but they are not easy to come by. That all will change in time

 

[btkrausen]

Are Ocellaris generally bigger than Percula?

you're right Kris. all in due time. I cannot put them in my tank anyway. OR maybe I'll set up a tank just for them. :hammer:

Does this count as a Wyoming White? Its an ocellaris

 

[Just Clownin Around]

well theres currently 3 of us breeders with actual pairing of wyoming whites that i know of, theres alot of people also with pairings with just one wyoming white with different females(black and white darwin,occellaris)none of us has yet to be successful, i can say that my pair is producing fertalized eggs, my last batch i had about 15 fry left over but i was not home the week of hatch, so i lost out, soon there will be more ww babies all a matter of time.. as for katy addison all i can say is i used to talk to her on a regular basis and all of a sudden last year we lost contact, i mean she never answers the phone etc. so they are up in the air, they do have the best onyx clowns period i agree!!!

cool. hopefully, in the next 6-8 months, we'll see more baby Wyoming Whites. I'm interested to see what percentage of Wyoming Whites do you get from a hatch. I wonder if it's about the same percentage of Plats produced by Picasso's.

Would be interested in a pair of WW if they come back out again. Anyone know what is the going rate for a pair?
