Captive bred clownfish - where to find locally?

[ydolphin]

Hi, anyone knows which lfs sells captive bred common clowns? Heard they are easier to keep than wild caught ones. Sad experience over the new year ..bought 4 wc pcs and they all uplorry within 2 days. Another clown given by a fellow reefer is happily eating and swimming around, and was introduced at the same time.

Ps. Mod, not sure if it is appropriate to post here but do move it if necessary. Thanks

Iwarna (or PM bro FuEl in this forum) has captive bred snowflake clowns. If on budget, can go for lower grade ones. Very healthy and strong specimens. I also got mine from him.

Thanks bro, not going for high end ones as I just started my sw journey so play safe first

Perhaps it is better to ensure that the cause of the death is due to the weak specimen and not due to the tank condition or disease. If they died from ich, the tank should be left fishless for 2 months.

Believe they are weak as others in there are still alive and swimming, but would still rather go slow first haha

maybe they are bullied to death and not because they are weak

There were only 5 clowns in the tank, nothing else yet .. 4 from a shop and 1 given by a reefer ( which happened to be the smallest one also ) thus highly unlikely it's a case of bullying
