picasso question

[chica83]

sorry if this sounds kind of silly but i was looking around for a picasso and so one store told me, i got grade B clowns and then another store told me, i got grade A clowns, now what in the world does that mean?:confused:

[Reeferdude2]

I would think grade A would be Clowns with full stripes and B would be misbar.

Picasso usually come from ORA and only a few vendors carry them.

Just an FYI also, bonereef.com sells picasso's but they are not cheap if you really want one.

No, it's the patterns of the white.

[Mikigo]

its in the pattern of the stripes. more complex and extensive, more expensive.

Actually I believe the one on the right is graded as grade B.

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA GOOD ONE, there's always a catch. I'm just glad my grade A one had it on both sides. LOL

You should have negotiated and tell them it's a Grade C b/c it does not match. Actually the first two picasso I got 2 years ago had the front-linking (first band & second band linking together), these days it seems the back-linking (second band link to 3rd band) are more common [of course that is still not common].

Some of these fish look pretty young, I'd be interested to see what they look like a year from now as their adult patterning and coloration develop.

Here is one of my above pictured clowns. They were very young in the first picture. That was back in October, this is now.

Very nice hexedagain, beautiful colors. That black should be awesome in a few more months.

Any chance of getting a current picture of the grade B fish?

but thank you very much, someone was telling me that after seeing the picture of my clownfish he thought my fish was grade B so that's why i had to ask :)
