I think the male is suposed to turn out to be a snowflake, or snowcasso.
From my understanding they are cross bred between a picasso and snowflake, thus snowcasso's.

LOL, yeah, teardrop one side, sideways triangle on other.
This happened to to work as a trade for a skimmer, just randomly lucked out.
Think this pair w/ snow mixed in is about $250+ maybe$300 for the pair.
Rare I throwdown for expensive fish/corals, but this was a must have for me, these are just so my favorite clowns!

davocean, Doni's fish are not a cross between a snowflake and a picasso. Snowflakes are ocellaris clowns and picassos are percula clowns. Both of Doni's parents are regular picasso perculas that produce really nice picasso and snowcasso babies.

cheers

Blazedapurp, yes, these are grade A's.
Theothereefer, thanks for clearing that, it's a little bit confusing w/ all the variations.
I still don't quite understand how 2 picassos make a snowcasso, unless a snowcasso is just a picasso that has alot of white, similar to a snowflake(and that is my guess)
I'll check link(and dime rocked!)

A snowcasso is a regular picasso just whith a lot more white. Its very hard to get a snowcasso in a batch of babys that's why they are worth so much.

Ok, thanks for clearing that(I'm learnin!)
I got these for skimmer trade, and doni said she would hand pick a nice pair, and she sure did.
Couldn't be happier.
