Buying fish online?

[USMA36]

Im looking to buy some fish from live aquaria and I have a question. Does anyone know the difference between direct from live aquaria and fish from ora? I'm looking at black oc clowns. Livesquaria had two options one from them at 44.00 each and an ora option for 24.00 each. Both are captive bread. Just wondering why one is so much cheaper than the other.

I can't find the $44 specimen listed, and $44 is s lot for a regular black and white ocellaris. Could you please post the link?

Over many years i have noticed ambiguity in LiveAquaria listings. It's hard to tell sometimes but in this case it looks like the cheaper fish is a misbar (flawed pattern), whereas the higher priced one has the normal pattern. The ironic part is that sometimes misbars command higher prices.

No the ora has both misbar and regular. Regular is 29.00. Still a pretty big difference.

I doubt anyone on this forum can give you the answer. Send an email to LiveAquaria customer support, include both item numbers, and ask them to explain the difference. Post their response right here for all to see.
