    Beautiful fish, though semi-aggressive. Also known as the false, skunk clown, it grows to about 4" as an adult. I believe they are omnivores like most clowns.

    Good luck finding them anywhere not online. I've been looking all over the place. But shipping is like $50...that's more than the cost of the 2 clowns. If you don't mind ordering, iBluewater seems to always have them in stock.

    The lowest I've ever seen them for was $19. Not bad, though that was fro iBluewater. lol. my LFS never carries them. nor does LA have them in stock.

    If you like it I'd definitely go ahead and get it. Just make sure it is actively swimming. Ask to see them feed the fish too.

    From what I seen they can be hard to get locally and are very beautiful fish,I'd have to agree 1 would be ideal unless you can get an already mated pair
