allow me to introduce myself...
My name is Konstantin. I live in Mason, Ohio (that's a north eastern suburb of Cincinnati). I just set up my first tank yesterday, and i'm excited!! I am completely new to the hobby, so i am getting some help from a friend.
my set up is pretty simple at this point. A 14 gal. Nano Cube, with no modifications. At this point, its empty. If you don't count the single snail that hitchhiked from my friends 75 gal. with some sand. I plan to have a couple of fish, and coral in there. And of course some crabs and snails. Maybe a star....
maybe someone can help me out: i want to have a pair of black clowns in there. I searched the web, but only found references to true perculas, and zebra clowns. Are there any other species that are black in color? If yes, where can i find some? local stores don't seem to get them often.

welcome to trt go to our sponsors they have pix and links to other sites that sell fish of all types. At this point the best thing you can do is take your time and do lots of research and ask lots of questions

There are these, not sure if it's what you want. Petco gets black percs alot but they usually look pretty bad.

Welcome to TRT, good luck on your search for black percs, not wanting to be the cloud but if you get a pair of percs thats going to pretty much max out your 14g tank

Welcome to the fun Konstantin! I am new here, too. I live in Miamisburg (next to the Dayton Mall), and work across the expressway from you (Union Center Blvd Exit). Let me know if you want to go reef-stuff-shopping sometime... I've found a few GREAT local places in the South Side of Dayton!
Otherwise, my girlfriend and I could give you a tour of our tanks - mine is a reef tank, and then she has a 10-gallong tank with some little hermit crabs in it (I'm the fish-nut - she has tghe other tank, so she has things to do while I am working on mine).
Anyways, PM me if you want to meet up sometime...
-Lee S.
