My Picasso & Onyx Clowns

[zibba]

Thought I would share a few pictures. The picassos are still very young and you can see that some of the white is still migrating. Should be interesting to see how they mature. Can you guess how many there are?

Picassos:

Thanks for looking!

A couple of those picasso's look like they will be really nice when they get bigger. Love the one with the "eye patch". I think the original breeder ORA male had an almost perfect diamond under one eye.

one? hehehe....


Thanks! The eye patch(s?) are cool! One of the picassos is not showing a lot of different patters, but should end up being a nice fish either way.

ORA or not? I love head markings the most on picasso's :)

Are you going to mix one of the picasso's with the onyx or keep the picasso's as a pair?

[elegance coral]

I tried really hard to guess how many you have, but I gave up. So how many do you have?

[JLopez]

ya please tell...i counted four? based on the different markings. so the real number is!?

[Heterodonut]

Wait til those little ones get 12 to 20 months old. They'll be awesome!

[zibba]

Thanks everyone! They are not ORA, but another breeder's Picassos. The total number is 4 - 3 picassos, 1 onyx. They are all still juveniles and I'm not sure how they will pair up yet, the onyx is a bit older. They are all currently in my 90-gallon but one of the pair (if they don't pair - two of them) will be transfered to a nano that I'm in the process of setting up or will go to another reefer to care for them. I think it would be cool if the pair came to be one onyx and one of the more marked picassos, but really I'll be happy with anyway it turns out.

Heterodonut - I'm really excited to see these and track their coloration over the next year+! For now, they'll get a healthy diet to promote some good coloration and overall health. :)

Cheers,

If these are still juveniles, you will have better odds just putting those two together to begin with.
