FYI the orange noses are a typical sign of age. As black clowns mature they get blacker. A fully mature one will be solid black and the nose is always the last to turn. Im sure you know but these guys are actually orange when they come out of metamorphosis and get darker with age.
I notice if you have a bunch of them grow up together its generally the dominant pair that gets solid black first.
I hear ya on the brown though. I looked a looooong time to find good ones before I bought mine.
The other thing to consider if your buying them as a pair in hopes to breed them it will probably take an adult pair just as long to settle in and have a successful clutch as raising some 1.5" or 2" juveniles.
Good luck in your search.
