finding nigripes

[lunsforj]

Hey i was wondering if any of you guys know of any nigripes clowns out there that might be for sale. I am located in Oregon and was basically maybe looking for some inside the US that might have been tanked for a while. Willing to pay shipping costs for anyone willing to ship them.

its me again i was wondering if anyone has ever kept nigripes in groups

Are you still looking to purchase one.. and I don't know if people have kept them in groups, but eventually 2 will pair up and either attack the others, or depending on how many you have there could be multiple pairs that fight over territory unless the tank is very large.

yeah i am still trying to get a hold of some. My thought on the group thing was this i have a six foot 135 gallon tank with a large ritteri on one end and 2 smaller rose anemones on the other, so even if a pair formed and decided to take over the ritteri the remaining little guys could take refuge on the other end of the tank. My hope was they would all pretty much live in the ritteri which is a nice purple based one that looks just like what you see a lot of nigripes living in on the web.

I was able to get two out of eleven to make it through quarrantine probably about a year ago. They are still alive, but unless you get one from another member I would expect similar survival statistics. They are notoriously bad shippers.
SWF.com usually has them in stock.

My local store in NJ has a pair for about two months. I am suprised they are still there.

Nice pair too,

[WDLV]

OK. I'm confused here. Why are you looking to get them from the UK if a nice pair is sitting right in your back yard???

[WDLV]

Nevermind. I got my threads mixed up.

Were those the pair in AO? If so I just bought them, they are a very nice pair. I was shocked when he told me how long he has had them there (almost 6 months).
