looks kinda cool

ROFL it's just a misbar. ORA sells those separately and cheaper than the ones with perfect stripe formation. I am sometimes amazed at what retailers will name things just to drive sales. If you put a weird name on anything people will buy it.

OMG they are selling for $40 plus shipping. You can go to any store in NY and ask for a misbar percula they are easy to get just look for the rare "tear drop" perculas that will be mixed in LOL.

LA has been gettin out of control with their ORA markups lately. But this "teardrop clown" takes the cake. The must think they are the only one in the country who gets ORA stuff

It's pretty sad when Absolutely Fish is cheaper than the "diver's den"

charles i was just going to say i've seen those @ the petco @ union sq for like $16 .

chazertis · 06-12-2007, 10:34 AM

yea, pricey for misbarred clowns

**marrone** · 06-12-2007, 10:37 AM

FWIW the clown is Tank-Bred (England). So it's not ORA.

Their Driver Den prices are over priced, especially since some of the items are pretty common, but they do put stuff on sale and then it can be a bargin.

Yeah I was just laughing with someone about this. Years ago you couldn't sell these. They were mis-barred clowns and if memory serves were a sign that they were captive bred. They usually went for half price or a little less.

**marrone** · 06-12-2007, 11:28 AM

Well they couldn't sell brown zoa's a number of years ago, then someone renamed them and they went for a lot of money.

I guess the lesson is, if you have something that can't sell just rename it. People are always looking for a name.

BUT.....
Just think for a sec,
You have misbarred ocellaris clowns and you attempt to breed them to a certain spec ie; 1/2 bar, no bar.
ORA probably did this with the naked clown which has no bars from head to tail and it is a very limited supply now.
