A. Chrysogaster. When attempting to ID a member's clownfish, I came across this species. Would love to have a pair some day.

There's nothing prettier than a nice GSM -- I've seen some with strangely shaped or small fins, which I don't like, but a GSM like the ones posted in this thread is a sight to behold. Punch and Judy my GSM pair are tank-bred, not the best stock, but they're rescues; I took them in because they had been through several owners and I knew I could provide a good, permanent home for them. They're misbars and don't have much yellow, and Judy has a scar on her nose where she tangled with a large Xanthid crab, but I love 'em to bits. With their funny faces, red eyes and giant fins they look like sweet teddy bears to me... until they attack me with those teeth!

B/W Ocellaris, btw, anyone know where I can find a few B/W ocellaris that are like completely black w/misbars in IL around Aurora/Naperville?

Just getting black saddlebacks to spawn would be a feat as there is only 2 report occurances, let alone trying to cross them.

A black and white picasso would just be a misbarred black ocellaris. If you want to breed a picasso to a black ocellaris it may be much easier than the previously mentioned crossing.

I still think the normal ocellaris pattern is the prettiest
