Number one, you cannot convince me that speculating about breeding clownfish is a bad thing or "dangerous" in any circumstance.
Number two, my original statement was that an intrepid breeder could probably produce something like this easily. I was asked how that could be done and I explained how it could be done. Nowhere did I say "This is how the people selling snowflake clownfish made them." I said they must have figured out how to make them since they're selling them.
Just because these particular folks aren't specifically pairing fish and then crossing the young to get the desired patterns (with or without some form of external pressure) doesn't mean that it can't be done that way. Face the facts, man. That's the way it's done with every other species of plant or animal that's been produced by humans since it's been done.
