Bigger designer clownfish

[mrtallbear86]

I’m looking to see where to get a couple of designer clownfish that are at least an inch and a half!

Sea and Reef aquaculture is one of the major breeders and wholesalers. They say on their website they don't sell direct to hobbyists, however they can tell you who is the nearest retailer that they ship to.

Thank you! I found a couple of long finned clowns. Sounds crazy, I am thinking I might go back and get them

Don’t agree with your preferences but hey to each their own xD

For the Percula / Ocellaris the most I’ll go would be regular Picasso (naturally occurring Percula variant) and regular Mocha (Percula x Ocellaris).

ORA and Biota are also options.

I had a frostbite and a phantom, they were perfect but I lost them last month

Oh how come? Sorry to hear that.

My filter plugged up. I have gotten rid of that and have a sump now.

I had a pair of Sea and Reef Frostbites. They were amazing, unfortunately I lost them in a tank move.

How long did the move take? Sucks to lose fish that way.

They are just local to me and I know a lot of local shops that carry them. The company is ran by marine biologists. They believe in 100% captive breeding so their fish are healthier and hardier because they are accustomed to tank life. They also guarantee their fish parasite and disease free when they ship them to the retailer.

It wasn't a long move. After the move they were both in the tank and 1 just disappeared without a trace. They were the only tank inhabitants so it wasn't eaten, and the tank has a mesh top so jumping was unlikely. Not really sure what happened. When I decided to shut that tank down, the lone remaining one moved to another tank. He did fine for a year but then he died unexpectedly. I believe it was from bullying by tank mates. Now I have since restarted the tank with a pair of black ocellaris and they are doing fantastic. So it was really in multiple tank moves

I see. Glad your tank’s now doing well.

Thanks. I'm working on a new tank now so we will so. Hopefully this one goes without a hitch!
