    this is why you don't go to the store right after you get your income tax refund.
    But I'm quite happy i finally got these two.

    well I saw him come into the store about two weeks prior and had came back and he still had em and they were healthy and eating so i brought them home. I got them both for 300. I have seen them cheaper at sustainablereefs, they go from about 110 bucks a fish plus shipping.

    well i don't think any of these designer breeds are from the ocean now that you made me think of it. I remembered reading on the sustainable reef website how they promoted aqua cultured. For some reason i don't know why i was thinking these are wild. so ignore my aqua cultured comment. and so that is cheapest i seen them go. Saltwaterfish.com is selling them for 169.99 plus shipping and that.

    yeah i figure 150 for the domino is about average. but gettign the black ice for 150 i feel was a good deal.

    Well I was just curious because the Domino could be a wild one, the other no I do not think so.

    Sure sounds like a good deal. They are both beautiful. The fact that you start with healthy specimen is the most important thing though.

    Yeah i'm not 100% sure but i think its aqua. they were a big mix in the tank, they had midnight, platinun, onyx, picasso, snowflake, black ice, and the domino as well as a few extreme misbars they were passing off as dominos, but the domino clown has one white dot on their left cheek. Here are some better photos of them in the tank.

    currently my 120g has 2 tangs and these two baby clowns, The domino is a very agressive swimmer so far he is very hard to keep still for a photo lol but has been doing non stop laps in this huge tank.
