Looking for a pair of Snowflake, Snowball, or Picasso clowns.

Below are some pics of what I'mm lokking for!

Do any local shops or aquarists have any for sale?

I'm coming into town next week and would like to leave with a pair if I can find them.

The snowball is a clown that is heavily white patterned. I saw a pic of it a while ago and can't seem to find it again.
These are the types of patterning that I'm looking for.

Kevin,

I know that ORA specializes in those fish specifically and the last picture you listed...in my opinion the best looking fish... actually the ORA's fish. He is a wild clown from the Solomons and about 1% of the offspring have the very cool traits you are looking for. They told me when I asked to order through LFS from ORA to get the fish for which you are looking. Good Luck, hope you find them before I start my stocking! ~Matt

I'm waiting for them to grow out from ORA also.
Thanks for the info.

Found them!

Got a pair of snowflakes! They're sitting in the shop just to make sure they start eating and everything's ok and then they're coming here.

Thanks for the help,

I can't remember where the pic is from but they were sold out at the time.

Do you know if the markings change from more to less white as the snowflakes mature? I really like the ones in the pic I posted a few posts back with all the different clowns. I can't remember if they were your pair or not.

I'll post more pics in a few days.

Thanks,
Kevin
