Clownfish -- Who's got what?

I was just wondering if anyone out there had any of the rarer clownfish species.

Also, anyone breeding clowns with success?

I'm in progress of trying to breed my pink skunk clowns.

Had a mated pair of white striped Maroons (nothing too fancy), now only a pair of Oc.

Just a really old (10 years) kinda grumpy Tomato clown.

I've tried a lot of clownfish:

1) Wildcaught 6" Saddlebacks

2) Black percs (saddleback variant)

3) Tomato

4) Pink Skunks

5) True percs

6) Ocellaris

7) Clarkii

A lot of these I simply exchanged as they were either horribly vicious or terribly boring

. So believe it or not, my remaining pair, and favorite of all time are my prolific white-stripe maroons

Have any of you ever seen the Wideband Clown (A. latezonatus) at stores?

I've wanted these forever...

I have three percs, two paired up and the third is on it's way out, LOL
I'm hoping to breed.
Love it

were your saddlebacks fairly peaceful or where they belligerent bastages? my last white stripe maroon was a bit of a butthead, cute as hell but a coral bulldozer.

Really? People on RC are all aflutter when they see these too. I think they're OK, but ... what's the appeal with these ones? Looks, or just the rarity of them?

How about A. omanensis for hard-to-find fish .... anyone on good terms with the Sultan? (Actually I thought I read that there is a source of this fish from outside Oman territorial waters? Not sure if it's true, but ... would be interesting if it was.)
