$17 isnt uncommon for CL's. Depending on the size of the CL's for sale, they can range anywhere from $5 to well over $75.

Clowns in BC where I am, Purple,
are usually about 12-15 dollars, give or take.
Thats for small, 2 inch specimens.
At Petcetera, they recently have been getting in
some Clowns and they are 15.00 for two (buy one get one free deal).
If you have a petcetera near you check in there.

The ones I see at my lfs (a large chain) usually go about $8.00 for a smallish one, more if they are larger.

I bought mine a few years ago for $6. At the same store for the same size they are now $14. I wonder if the whole tsunami incident last year could have raised their prices. I mean, the islands of Sumatra and Borneo were effected by it.

I bought a pair of 6 inch fat clown loaches for $47 (for both). A pair of 3 inch ones would go for around $8, but then I am in India

Adam paid a lot less then pet shop prices for his gang of clowns....but he got them at an auction, $5 rather than $25.

Might check with local clubs to see if they have one coming up anytime soon.

In the Panhandle of nice warm and sunny...did I mention snow free...Florida, they seem to run around $9.99 USD. They are all roughly the same size. Most of the LFS seem to use Segrest as thier supplier so it would seem logical that size and price would all be similar.
