MadReefer Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Wow! I guess this could be an investment. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=55412 Quote
defigart Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Because its a pair and a relatively rare species, I dont believe its a typo. This species is only found in a couple of places. They are difficult to get to. Quote
reef-fisher Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 HA! for 6grand I would rather have something other than a couple clowns, even if they are rare(nutty) Quote
MadReefer Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 It's not a typo. I think there is only one place they come from and it is protected. There is one overseas breeder. Some people like rare things. So if you bought them and could successfully breed them I think you could make a lot of money. Quote
ThePremiumAquarium Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Very rare clowns. They are only found on a small section of reef off of a single island in the great barrier reef. I cannot remember the name of the island, but I remember reading about them in a thread on reef central. I believe it was in the photography or scuba section. Very unique and rare clowns plus they look awesome. And no, in my opinion, $6k is not worth it but for someone who lives for breeding clowns like this, I could see that it might be well worth it for them. Garrett Quote
spectra Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Well shoot if everyone pitchs in a few bucks maybe we can get them for Dave(rock2) Wait how many members do we haveDOH! Quote
CA2OR Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 that is an amazing price though. You can get an awful lot for that kind of money. Quote
Michael7979 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Well everyday roughly 100 people visit these forums. So $6000.00 divided by 100 visitors breaks down to everyone pitching in $60.00 DOH!DOH!DOH! Quote

blaster_works Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 That is the price and they only come fromLord Howe island... way out of my price range. wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyy out!!!!!!!! Quote
dsoz Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 then we have the disputes over who houses them' date=' course we can switch off every week (nutty)[/quote'] I would put my vote to Dave (barleycuda). then he could raise the fry and give us all a pair To be honest. They are not even that great looking in the picture. I hope they are better looking in real life. dsoz Quote

defigart Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Well if you are at all serious. Im in. May even put in two "shares" Quote
CA2OR Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 I would have to agree with having Dave do the honors. We should just refer to him as Nemo from now on. He is the clownfish god.(icon) Quote
blaster_works Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 if anyone is intrested i beleieve this is where they came from. a few pics fyi i am also starting to raise clowns in washougal. here is a link http://www.marinebreeder.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=612 Quote
snowpunk Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 (scratch)(plotting)This would be a really good idea, kinda crazy, but it could work. We would have to see what Dave thinks though. I wonder if it would be something he would even want to try. I bet there are some aquariums that would love to get there hands on a few for there tanks also. I know a few here have said they were in if it actually happened. I would be too, if we can get it to $60-$100 each. We would all have to remember this is less of an investment and more like a gamble. It may payoff and it may not. I hope Dave chimes in soon(whistle) Quote
Barelycuda Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks for the thought Scott. The price is correct. Look around though. People are paying alot more than that for glorified goldfish Dave 1 Quote
reefboy Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Im in I'd even throw in a couple shares plus maybe a snowflake or two when mine come home;) Quote
