![]() Well....guess I'm not going with the majority. I LOVE these fish....I like a different clownfish. I have 3 Picasso's and a pair of Naked Clownfish and would LOVE to add these to my collection. Been trying to get a pair of Snowflakes forever...and have not been successful...hopefully these appear at J&L or such...with a slightly lowered price tag, one more in line with the Snowflakes....and I'd be all over it!

![]() Yeah I love 'different' clowns too but I still find these ones kind of blah...It looks like a disease LOL.
One of those pairs of ORA picassos my cousin brought back from Seattle was actually for me (she didn't ask/tell me though) but I can't take them because I already have my two clowns ![]() It's interesting that ORA (or in this case the store selling ORA livestock) sells a pair ($150) for more than singles ($60) but really the 'pairs' she got are all very small and seem to just bunch up in one big group ![]() And lets not even get started about how much Picasso's cost in Canada! These are grade A for $150/pair. I don't think the Canadian prices have dropped yet like they have in the US. Apparently $150 a pair is actually quite expensive too.

![]() I don't have any problem with this because ORA does distribute a heck of a lot of regular captive bred clowns and are good for the hobby in that way. Plus I am guessing that to get one of these morphs, it takes a heck of a lot of breeding. I think it probably is a lot of work. One thing I read about ORA is that for retailers to sell their corals, they have to buy a certain amount of their clowns as well. This is a good thing since they are captive bred and means a store selling ORA corals probably only have captive bred clowns. |

![]() ORA will be sending me a pair of these crossbred failures along with thankyou $750 cheque for taking these off their hands. WTF's wrong with the usual bright, colorful regular nemos?

![]() To true GSP, anything thats getting away from wild harvesting is a step in the right direction. Still with $750.00 you could set up a whole clown species tank with picassos and a few BTA's. (This is coming from a student though so I'm sure I'm not there target market)

![]() Maybe it is a ploy to get rid of them, charge an unreal price and people go crazy to own one, hehe!! Great marketing idea!!!

I agree they are not really nice but no need to get all upset about it. I just thought it was an interesting thing to post. Quote:
![]() There will always be people to buy them just because they are the new rare fish no one else has. Lots of people with lots of money to spend! |
