I usually dont stop at petco much. I needed some items for my dogs. While there I decided to see what fish they had. I spotted a Pair of black saddleback misbar clownfish.To my surprise they had no price. I asked the petco employee what the price on the clownfish was. He said you mean the Striped Blenny? No the clowns.. Again he corrects me and points to the typical orange clowns and says those are clownfish. This is a striped blenny. Even called the manager over he looked more lost than the guy helping me. He also had no clue. They both agreed that they were striped blennys. Well Im not going to argue with that, especially when the striped blenny was on sale for 9.99. So for the great price of 9.99 each, I came home with the pair. They are in quarantine at the moment. I looked up some info on them, turns out they are ORA clowns http://www.orafarm.com/products/fish/clowns/black-saddleback-misbar/ Petco apperantly buys fish from ORA now. Guess today was my lucky day..
