AllenC - I trust all is going better now with your fry. :thumbup:

Funlad3 - good luck. Us parents can be very stubborn :D

Pam - thanks for the update :) Many of my customers state that theirs start spawning 1.5 -2.0 after purchasing them; so they can mature quickly.

I may need to wait until after Memorial Day.... I'll be up by Rhinelander Wisconsin, so my dad wants me to look at the Live Aquaria holding facility there... On the bright side, I'm 1/3 of the way to raising the $150 for a pair of your grade B clowns!

Oh, and I have yet to find the contact of the potential Picasso Breeder neat me... Eventually!

Hey Doni - Looks like all is going well. I posted this in your for sale thread also but was wondering if you or anyone have pics (or info) on how the black fills in on the "Regular" Clowns (the $15 guys)? How they color up with Black after maturing? Would love to see if these guys get a lot of black in them.

This is a pair I used to have and was wondering if yours would color in like this.

Hi Angelreef. I have not kept any normal striped or misbars until maturity and rely on my customers to provide feedback and photos. I know of one customer that posted a pic of his and it had a lot of black on it but I am not sure about all the rest I sold. That photo is one of my threads somewhere... if I find it, I will post it on my website.
99.9% of my normal striped/misbars are sold in bulk here locally when 3/4" long and those get dispersed via a retailer.

Found it.... It was in this thread several pages back.

So I believe I'm one of the few members that has a normal striped of yours on here...the past few months his black has really started spreading like mad...the tips of the dorsal fin is black but the black has not crept up yet...i should post pics i know :p

here are some quick pics...please excuse the quality...its an iphone and the LEDs make everything look blue on there.

:wave: Hello Doni, been a while. I was curious what/when you feed your babies. My first hatch is on Day 10, feeding nhbbs/rotis :fingerx:. I've tried to read this thread again, but probably missed some of the parts in the middle.

Your 4 week old video is great BTW!

:thumbup: That's great! Feed them frequently. They should be past meta now and large enough to take nhbbs and crushed powder.

Why did you suddenly start selling the normal clowns in bulk? Not that it's a bad thing! Maybe I'll be able to convince my LFS to but a bunch of misbars!
 
It has been almost 2 years and I figured it was time to post a couple of pics of my Picasso's. I apologize in advance for the horrible quality and the dirty glass! :)
