A leucokranos - anyone have some?

[jamesw]

Hi Gang,

Back in the 90's and early 2000's I had a breeding pair of these clowns (see reefs.org logo

I sold them when I got out of the hobby - but I'm so curious where they went?!?!?! Does anyone have them? Does anyone have any of these clowns anymore?

Cheers
James

With Australia shipping a ton more now then back then, they aren't super hard to get a hold of. A local was just selling a pair recently.

Cool! Maybe I can get a few again - I loved those guys. A lot of my diving buddies have sent me pix of the clowns from the Solomons and NE Oz

Haha, I just noticed that I can post this:

:welcome:

That's my male from back in the day.

Cheers

I had not heard of Australia shipping any but Papua New Guinea has been shipping some and we get a couple from the Solomons every once in awhile.

That's really good to hear Dave. I sure loved those guys.

Papua New Guinea has many leukokranos but not on the South side of the country where all the fish have been coming from.
Next year several new stations will open up and they will start increasing the flow of these clowns to the USA.

Thanks! So like Kimbe Bay area? Man, PNG is hard to get to and I'm sure even harder to fly fish out of!

I'll have to go back through some of my diving friends photos and see where they saw them. I think most were in the Solomons...

Cheers
