I'm looking to order a large percula clownfish, possibly in the next day or two as I am off this week. I would order from LiveAquaria.com, Fishsupply.com, or maybe MarineDepot.com. If anyone is interested, let me know ASAP so I can decide if I will order or not. Would like to split the shipping to save alittle. Thanks.

If you can get a large enough order, I'll give you a qoute for wholesaling them and have them shipped there. Medium Black perculas would run about $11 each, true percs about $13, and gold striped maroons about $16 for mediums (1.5-2 inch). shipped to your house. You can save shipping if you want to drive to the airport and pick them up, but most airline have a 50-60lbs min. $40-$50 shipping so one box would be easier to ship directly to you, and if our RBTA order ever comes in I'll have those shipped there also.

Thanks Tim for the offer. I'm looking for a 3in. true percula which are not easy to find.

3 inch true perc will run about $20, but don't blame me if it is 3.5 inch instead.

Tim, if you can get them in that size for that price, I'll take one. I'm only off this week and I imagine it will take longer than that to get an order together. If orders are shipped directly here, that might work depending on what day it is or it would have to ship to someone else that can be there to receive it.

Yeh, sorry guys as soon as I get the fax I'll post the prices. It usually comes on Sunday night, but with the 4th maybe tomorrow(5th which is actually today LOL). All these fish should be in stock, except maybe the purple tang. I beleive the purple tang is in season right now though and will probably run around $45.

did you already put the order in tim? im still interested in those 2 black percs for the mb7, i think they would look great with it, and hopefully i might be able to get a rbta clone from someone too :) do you have the fish and everything shipped to you or to san antone?

Black clown $10, Pink skunk $7, Desjardin $32, Sohal $52, Kopplin only red or blue lobsters R-$17 B-$14.50, purple tang $51.
This is only adding a couple $ to each fish for shipping and handling which should cover it, but if it comes to a little more I'll need some extra $ from each person.

What is the current price on the large true percula clowns?
Tim Marvin
Mon, 5th Jul 2004, 05:49 PM
They only have black perc, and Sumatra percs on the list.....
Z28- did you want a Bali, blonde, Hawaiian, or streamer Naso?

Mon, 5th Jul 2004, 06:54 PM
Tim I'll Take a Desjardin 4" ok 5 " at most. Also any Powder Blues? LFS 100+$$$ desjardin of this size always... :-D :-D :-D

Lobsters are not a good idea for a reef, but you already know that and I was assuming you had a place you wanted to put it. I can call to see if they have a purple one if you are still interested in that one.
RobertG
Mon, 5th Jul 2004, 08:50 PM
Whats wrong with one in a reef, other than you never see him? I have one & always think he is dead & there he is.
Tim Marvin
Mon, 5th Jul 2004, 08:57 PM
From what I understand they are right up there with mantis shrimp as far as diet. Nothing is safe...... That is just what I have heard though. I kept one a while back when I used to sell lots of stuff and it would eat anything I put in the tank for it, even caught a green chromis that lived in with it.
RobertG
Mon, 5th Jul 2004, 10:35 PM
Hymm, this makes me think about some fish that have disappeared...In the future I will think of this, If I could catch him I'd get him out. I'll have to move lots of rock to get him. I know who to call when I do catch him.

I'm waiting in hopes that the RBTA's will be in and I can ship it all together. Otherwise someone will have to go to the Airport down there in S.A. to pick up the order. If the RBTA's come in I'll get it all here in Austin and bring it all down on the weekend or BA will pick up for you in SA. I'm not collecting any more money until I know what is going on with the RBTA's. If the RBTA's don't come in over the weekend I'll order early next week. This is all at cost so if we get more fish on the order it will help a tiny bit on the shipping. SW airlines charges a 70lb min. Fedex, UPS, DHL and those carriers charge twice the rate of the airline as far as $ per lb.

Oh well, thanks anyway Tim.

Z28, our best bet to get them is on a Monday order. If I place an order on Friday they can ship Monday mornings. There was about 50 on the list, but wholesalers usually sell all the good stuff within a couple days.

Tim, if you end up with an extra CBB that nobody wants or back out on let me know. Hopefully someone would be heading up from the SA area and would be nice enough to pick up for me also if you do have an extra available.
Tim Marvin
Wed, 14th Jul 2004, 03:16 PM
I have 1 extra right now.

Thanks Tim for a beautiful fish, and thanks to Blake for bringing back for me. Very nice quality and a lot bigger than I was expecting at that price.
Thanks again.
