The Woodstock Picasso Clown Club!!

[Woodstock]

Gorgeous! How old are those now?

 

[Piggybank]

I got them in Aug 2009, so 8 months with me now? The female has really gained a ton of white to the other side where there was a single band. I've had people ask me if she was a Snowcasso even.. Here is a pic from last Aug

Thanks! They are so beautiful and have such a personality!

 

[Woodstock]

You've done well with them!
It is interesting how their white continues to spread. I have found that many of the B's turn into A's and A's into Snowcassos.

 

[Piggybank]

It is really interesting and fun to watch. The female, who was an A with one white side and large bands on the other side, has essentially gone to all white with black markings on both sides. Only her face and fins have the orange coloration, which is definitely closer to Snowcasso. The male has filled black in nicely though and they are a great pair together! Thanks for the kind words!

Where did you read that?



A. percula are also known as 'true perculas'.
A. occellaris are also known as 'false perculas'.

ORA Picassos (and mine) are A. perculas.

haha yours swim upsidedown and mine like to swim vertically. They use the back wall as the "floor" of my tank.

 

[Geppetto]

Hahaha crazy little guys. Thank again Toan, it was a pleasure meeting you. I saved your number, feel free to hit me up anytime!

3 days after getting ours and we love them. eating well and swiming all over.

 

[Jerfrog]

thats funny. Mine does the same thing. I used to have a pair but the male jumped Im going to wait to find another A to mate with my female. Here she is.

Ditto! How are your clowns doing? Mine are just sitting in the corner of the tank still. I think my PHs were too much for them so i turned off the K-nano. They are still sitting in the corner though...

 

[Geppetto]

sadly they are still in a cage :[. I might mix an ora and a doni together, I think I want the contrast of a crazy looking clown and a normal looking.

 

[1ofManyNguyens]

My clowns are still doing great! They pick at all the copepods on my back wall and are eating other food like pigs! Only thing is they only stay on the back wall mostly in the corner around my return. I have the stock return pump on a BC14, do you think this is too much flow for them to swim around?
