Here's some shots of my Clown and Anemone. They have been in my reef for about 2 years. The Anemone has split 2 times and keeps growing faster and faster.

I don't want to start a fight or anything, but I too fell in love with the picasso percula. After searching high and low (including TCM's site) and turning up nothing, I went back and had another look at the photos.

First off, let me tell you that I used to teach Adobe Photoshop professionally. I led the trade show demonstrations for release 5.0 in the Adobe booth at trade shows around the country, taught for the Internet Institute, as well as subbing for the Art Institute of Dallas. Needless to say, I know my photo-editing.

In using some techniques that I taught to law enforcement agencies to spot "doctored" photos, I find ample evidence of this in both the snowflake image, and the square snowflake. I'm not saying they definitively do not exist, but I definitely question the validity of those photos. You don't need a fancy degree to see it either, look at the white stripe under the eye of the squareflake, there are two of them, different shades and all. One was layed on top of the original stripe.

Pretty good photo editing, but edited in my opinion. Just didn't want other people out on a wild goose chase like I feel that I was...

LMAO, Jason.
Well, I just left the one in question. He's doing quite well. As is one of his offspring that has the same exact square on the cheek, But, on the opposite cheek than his daddy.

[jnowell]

LOL - I figured that would get some kind of response! So, if they really are real, when can us mortals get some? And how did you get one if Florida? More pics please, I won't even question their validity this time...no really, I promise!

Only a very low %age of the offspring have the extra white. The amount/locations of the white varies greatly. They are sold as they come to size. There is no "wait list". First come first serve.

i think there was a post in another forum about the picasso clowns.

Great pictures, I love clown fish as well. How established does
the tank need to be prior to introducing the clowns. I like the
maroon clowns, have you seen them?

[David M]

Whatever you call them, I just got two about a week ago. They were at a lfs, I traded 15 small osc for them (they were asking $150). The small one looks like the one above with the cheek mark & black spot, but not as nice. The "female" just looks like a perc with extra wide white stripes. They are not really a pair, just two fish in the same tank. I'll start a thread on them in the FBF after I get some decent pics.

[ninhsavestheday]

did u get them at VM (brillant reef)?

[David M]

Yes, those are the ones.

Ok, but you still haven't said where to get them. Since it seems your's are breeding, do you sell them?

dlckwood, what type of clown is that in your avitar?

[topmav1]

Question: I saw a beautiful pair of what I thought were Black and White perculas at my LFS. I really think they are Saddlebacks. Any experience here with Saddleback clowns? I really love the perc but these at the store are really beautiful. I know that clowns dont get along so well...if I bring these two Saddlebacks into my tank, can I also house a percula?

Thats an A. Chrysopterus clown. Sadly I have horrible luck with them so I have stopped trying.

oama, sorry about the stupid post/remark, didn't realize who you was until it was too late to change it.

David, if I were to order a pair, would these be the one's labeled as "blue stripe"? Do all of them have the "blueish" stripes or is it a lighting thing? My lfs got one in a few weeks ago (with the blue) and I thought about getting it, but I want/need a pair, so didn't pick it up. I want to have them order me a pair, but I'm afraid they'll come in and not have the blue.

No, No, nanocat! silly -- you can't produce anything with all x's .... you have to have some y's in there too!

sheesh

what is the deffernce between the
Amphiprion percula – True Percula
SI (Solomon Island) Percula
Onyx Percula
Amphiprion ocellaris – False Percula, False Clown

[thedigitalimager]

Here's a shot of Amphiprion bicinctus with a Heteractis magnifica (ritteri) anemone in the Red Sea. I can't recall ever seeing these available to aquarium enthusiasts. They're very beautiful, and I've spent many dives just observing them in their natural setting.

[NANOFOOL]

those r great pics, where did you get them

Thanks, my wife and I spent eleven years teaching in Saudi Arabia. We were fortunate to be stationed in the Western Province next to the Red Sea. I dove every weekend and had my Nikonos with me on just about every dive.

[clownnrnd]

LD, you say you don't have much luck w/ the chrysopterus. Is that becouse they dod not adapt to aquarium life or they do not spawn well? I've wanted to find a smallish pair of these or Bicinctus pair.
TIA,
Chad
