dragonxflare Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Hey all, I am looking for a reputable online store that sells some designer clown fishes. Anyone know any really good reputable ones? So far, I've been looking at exotic-reefs, and was just curious if there were any others out there that I can check out. Thanks Link to comment
1.0reef Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I'll get some links for some really good private breeders in a sec, they mainly focus on Picassos though. Clownfishdepot, kmaintl, oceancube, clownish sushi, Bali aquarich, stay away from ORA, SA, and SR. Link to comment
PDR Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Divers Den on Liveaquaria.com gets some in from time to time. Link to comment

Clownfishdepot, kmaintl, oceancube, clownish sushi, Bali aquarich, stay away from ORA, SA, and SR. I read that you said stay away from ORA. Is it because of too much inbreeding/possible defects in the lineage? I remember nearly buying a bonded pair of imported ORA black ice snowflakes from my LFS before I chose my wild True Percs from a different store. Link to comment

I am not entirely sure, but I heard their quality dropped a bit over the couple years. But I am not sure Link to comment

Yes, ORA used to be really good, but now all their clowns are inbred. Thanks for the list. What is SA/SR? Sustainable aquatics and sea & reef. The big ops basically. Link to comment

Thanks GioNVA! By the way, has anyone ever purchased from Exotic Reef, or or clownfishextreme? Link to comment
gioNVA Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Although I have not purchased from those 2 (exotic reef and clownfishextreme), I heard of good experiences from them. However, take a close look at some of the ones from exotic reef site. I see some deformities in the picassos they sell. Link to comment

dragonxflare Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I actually found a great breeder near me (Bay Area) and purchased two Grade A Picasso clownfish from him. Link to comment
Emerald525 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Sustainable aquatics is where I got my black ice and blacker ice clownfish pair. I got them from my LFS but that's where he orders them from. I have been happy with them. Link to comment
StayGold Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I know i'm not the OP, but wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave out suggestions. I just placed an order with jaysclownfish.com and so far excellent customer service. I'll post my review once I receive them and have some time to observe them. Link to comment
