    I didn't have a CUC when I started my fish tank. My tank was CUC less for 4 months. Maybe the 75-80 was for a pair.

    It was for a pair but there are 2 at pet co for basically 40. I just don't know if I can trust pet co lol, and I don't have my skimmer yet. Just dt and sump/fuge with cheato, I'm going to order my skimmer on Friday.

    That would have been a price for a MATED pair. Although it's a little high, it's not completely out of range for a mated pair. When you just buy 2 clowns, you're going to have to go through one turning into a female, beating the living daylights out of the male, the male probably getting ich and you having to know how to treat that. There's many other factors. Are they tank raised or wild-caught? Are they percula's or oscellaris? yada, yada, yada.

    When I asked if that's for a mated pair they said no, just 2 true percs.
