[fish02]

Here's a couple of pictures of my picasso, sorry about the quality. She is actually starting to fill in quite nicely with black slowly replacing the orange:

Very nice fish, but that's a snowflake Ocellaris isn't it?

I'm determined to get a pair of these at some point. Maybe when the price comes down a bit:)

[fish02]

Thanks for the nice clown compliments!

MDP that is an ORA picasso percula from the original pair, regular female and picasso male, that ORA owns and breeds. I bought it from SaltwaterFish.com. I had to wait a very long time to get one. These are snowflakes:

I love picasso clowns and have been collecting them. I currently have five :rolleyes: Once they pair up, I will remove any that get bullied.

They move back and forth from the purple haddoni to the RBTA.

Here is mine. The smaller one is an ORA Picasso and the larger one is a WC Picasso like fish.

Thanks Fish02.

Been away from the forum for a while and hadn't realised ORA were breeding them now, good news though as the price will come down.

Last time I saw pics of a Picasso they were of Rod Buehler's fish and they were much darker. ORA's one's are much lighter, do they darken with age? Apols for the confusion.

If I'm not mistaken Rod only breeds Onyx perculas which have regular perc striping but the orange pretty much gets replaced with black. Mine arrives tomorrow by 10:30 am to hopefully befriend my Picasso, I can't wait!

As far as the darkening of the ORA picassos the orange on mine is actually starting to turn black, but some of these fish stay orange. As far as price is concerned, I don't know how long it will be till the price goes down since there seems to be mile long wait lists for them from vendors. When I first started looking into them awhile ago they were supposed to be $50 or so according to ORA themselves. I guess vendors decided to jack prices up kinda like ebay toys that everyone has to have for the holiday season. I wonder if ORA is like DeBeers when it comes to these fish, horde the picassos to jack up the prices.

The newest "it" clown seems like it's going to be the ever so ugly cotton candy clown, I think that's the name of it, pretty much all white.
