Title says it, I'm looking to see if there is anyone local to the Champaign/Urbana area who raises and sells ocellaris clowns.
thanks

I used to raise Darwins 2 yrs back. You might have some luck if you can get ahold of Jeremy over at the UofI. He runs the department that breeds clowns for the University.

Could you tell me more about that department? I'm an alum but never heard of such a thing.

Yea, same here, I am still here for grad school too and never heard of anything like that. Would be interested to see what type of setup the school would have.

OK, a quick UofI website search led me to it.

They seem to have a pretty good setup....

That is pretty awesome to see an aquarium setup like that in a lab. Wish my lab at work looked like that. :D

That is a pretty cool thing. Bioballs? And what's the green stuff under the bioballs?

And yeah, my former stepson is in his last year in the mech engineering program there and I'm sure if he'd seen or heard of anything like this he would have mentioned it to me as well.

Jeremy of the clown raising dept, eh? Seems like it might be a lot of hoops to go through just to get a little fish or two. But thanks for the info.
