Clown breeders

Why so many? Are you planning on breeding them yourself? If so, you might want to try getting unrelated fish.

That's a good point

I just setup another tank for my girlfriend and she just wants clown fish and a big tree branchy coral and I got everything going but just need some clowns. I don't want to breed any fish, I just want to get 8 to 10 from a breeder because I thought it might be cheaper.

Clowns are only like $20 each. They aren't expensive. If you have more than 2, they will likely fight badly. Just get her two.

Take a stroll up to J&L Aquatics in Burnaby (just off the #1 at the Gaglardi exit), and they will help you get a setup and the equipment you will need to keep them healthy.

they are only about $5.00 each on the breeding level depending on what kind, and you can add more than two you will end up with a breeding pair plus a lot of juveniles. some species this is easer than others, but you can definitely have more than two.

I think false percs and skunk clowns are your safest bet to keep in a group if you get them all at the same time

This guy is a novice saltie, do you really think he's going to have a setup that can support that? You'll get a breeding pair from just buying two as well. I don't see the point in keeping a group of them. I think this is just a case of not knowing.

How do you know that he is a novice salty because he only has a few posts? Or do you know him personally.
Everyone has to start somewhere. If I had posted that as my first post would I be labeled the same way. I have been in and out of this hobby since the 1980's but only joined Canreef this year.
If he wants a group of them in one tank who are we to tell him he can't.
