    My husband and I have a breeding pair of false percula clown fish. They have been a pair for more than a year now and are kept in their own tank. We put them by themselves so we could raise the fry, but we have since had a child and not had the time to do so. We are also planning on moving out of the country within the next two years or so, and cannot take the fish with us. What would be a fair price to ask for the pair?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Fifty dollors seems like a reasonable price to me, realistically I think it would still be hard to get that price, unless you reside in an area with little to no LFS.

    Good luck finding them a good home and on the new adventure.
