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.

Some never get black noses though. This is why I want mature fish, so I know what I'm getting. I think I found a pair though, just working out details.

Yep gustavo said they went fast! Went over there with the full intention of buying a pair and selling you mine but I guess destiny can be a cruel mistress some times

Larry ( sick lid ) is a breader and ships to many places in Canada. I have been to his place many times and I am always in awe with the setup.

RedCoral Edmonton had some Black Ice Snowflakes. That was a couple weeks ago but they might still have some. Then Myka could still get her blacks.

Rasta's Black Occys are misbars, so I'm not actually interested in them.
