man...no true percs in any LFS!

[gsechen]

Frustrating because I want my fishes haha! Oh well I just got to have patience as all the stores said they are ordering them. Can't wait to finally get some fish. Guess there is a true perc shortage because exotic, yourreef, O street, Capitol, and Coral Reef Shop all don't have em.

[maxdout]

too many new hobbyists buying them up ;)

im waiting for john to get more black clowns in...

[funman1]

yeah true percs and black ones are always in demand and hard to find :(

I had to wait 2 months to get my black clown.
:(

[kdblove_99]

I do love the black clowns!

[maxdout]

yea the word is early feb is when ora will start to ship the black clowns out... i been trying to get a hold of the onyx clowns from rods reef. i guess i'll see which ones i get first.

[pcurry18]

are the black clowns compatible with the true clowns?

[rafael13]

I think I saw black clowns at coral reef shop on monday

[gsechen]

still no true percs. why not are they not in season or something?

[radrngr]

exotic

[Allin14]

They have a pair at yourreef I was just there today.

[gsechen]

nevermind looks like they are here! I'm going to the coral reef shop!

[n2prelude03]

hi just got a pair of true perc form exotic, but they just dont eat. does anyone have any suggestion for have had this problem before.
thanks

[Allin14]

What are you feeding them?

[norcal99]

Give them a couple days, they're probably stressed out and still acclimating/ familiarizing themselves with the new surroundings. Give them a couple of days. Try cyclopeeze/mysis thawed with garlic extract. That seems to do the trick. My percs were going to town on formula 1 flakes the day I got them. Might be worth a try.

[racrumrine]

For True Clowns, contact Fingerwrinkles. He raises them with Anemones so they host immediately. I believe he's planning on attending the BAR swap. That might be a good time to arrange a deal.

For a new clown that won't eat, in my experience, nothing works better than baby brine shrimp. You can hatch them in a day. After your clowns start to eat, you can move them over to other foods. The most import thing is to have them start to eat something.

Best of luck,

Roy

[gsechen]

thanks, is he local?

also anyone else know where to get true perculas besides exotic?

thanks

[racrumrine]

He's based in Lafayette which would probably be around a 45 minute drive for you.

The drive is worth it to see his operation.

Best of luck,

Roy

[gsechen]

any other fish store in sacramento area has true percs? juveniles?

[norcal99]

Get some rods onyx perculas. Otherwise, just ask at John to get you some percs. He regularly carries them.

[fishsoldseprtly]

EXOTRIC has mated pairs of tru perc, they had like 5 pairs just the other day. check em out, they were $50 a pair

[gsechen]

no more percs again. exotic is out. My search continues

[GreshamH]

Just a FYI. Most of them come from the Solomans and shipments out of there have been pretty low for the last year.

Also, I don't think Robin has any broods going right now of Onyx, sorry.

I'm also looking for some True Percs but I only see the ones from Solomon Island. I'm in the hunt for the ones from Papua New Guinea.

If I come across of some True Percs in any of the lfs, I'll let you know.

[gsechen]
