Hi Bro

Coral Farm in Lim Chu Kang Lane 6F unit 60 normally has stock round the year on Percula Clowns.

They do have paired clowns, however will command a premium price as the paired clowns are specially selected with very nice coloration.

They do have loose pieces selling < 1 Red note per clown. This will depend on yourself in choosing. If you are looking for a pair (1 male 1 female), there is a formula to obtain the % of odds (assumption random sex distribution). Here we go:

No of clowns vs Odds having a pair (NB: This info is from Jay F. Hemdal whom is writer of "Aquarium fish Breeding")

2 50%

3 75%

4 88%

5 94%

6 97%

7 98%

8 99%

Thus, if you must have a pair, I would think buying 5 at a go will give you a 94% chance of obtaining at least 1 male and 1 female. This will also increase your chance of a mated pair. BTW having 1 male 1 female does not equal to they are mated and will breed. If you intend to try breeding clowns, then buying 5 at 1 go make sense.

Please....please, make sure you have enough space to allow 5 clowns to stay and not buy by impulse.

I am no expert in breeding and there are reefers in this forum had many successes. You may wish to PM them for more advice or read more either books or via Net.

Cheers

True!

Since i am not interest in Breeding Clowns, i don't need natural pairs, as long as they swim together i would be happy!

So i think i would just try to get a male & a female.

As long as the look beautiful, i will be satisfied!

CF will then be the place to search for beautiful Perculas. Look at the top row where they house pairs (clownfish section)

You will likely see onyxs and if you are "lucky", might even come across "picassos" perculas.
