Blue platinum clownfish?

[ChipE]

I have a spawning pair of picasso clownfish. Some of the babies are platinums. Almost all of them have a blue tint to them. I've seen some occelaris snowflakes with a little blue, but never a percula. Also, some of mine are next to completely blue. They are around 42 days old. My 30 day old batch is also showing blue.

Is this normal? Will it go away? Is it something I should be worried about health wise?

You just read my mind.

I tried, and failed. I do not have the time to waste taking pointless pictures.
If you would like to come over to take pictures, be my guest!

I am just wondering if it is normal. Im guessing someone else who raised platinums would notice they were BLUE. A picture is not necessary.

so there

maybe there is a blue light somewhere ?

getting offensive after ppl asking to see this world wonder is kinda ...

Them looking blue or not can be subjective depending on lighting and other factors, or it can be factual depending on if they are actually blue with the flash on under non-actinic lighting. So, a picture really is necessary.

They are under an ikea single led lamp, no actinics at all.

Yes, I do get defensive when someone calls my thread useless, when I am asking a simple question. Either other people have had blue platinums, or not. People LOVE to take threads off topic.

speaking of taking threads off topic ... white LEDs are actually blue LEDs with yellow polish. ....

if you come on here, and inform us of a world wonder, you gotta show us a pic so we can comment on it. Dont take it personal. everyone is just interested to see this is not a simple question by any means ... an species changing color ? and DNA perhaps!

if I said I look green, u would want to see a pic too first thing that comes to mind is humans arent green, you know

Yes, but i wasn't asking for comments. If i was id post pics asking what people thought. Im just asking just if its normal, as I am assuming it is. This question was aimed toward picasso/platinum breeders.
There are blue occellaris snowflakes, so i assume the same can happen with platinums. I am just wondering if it is normal for the fry to lose the blue as they age.

If I'm the only one with blue platinums, which I doubt, Id like to know.

I always enjoy your post Allmost.

Well, what's your address?

No offense was intended. The term used is a common phrase, not a direct attack. For example...

Now, so that I am not accused of derailing your thread:

There is an email right above the video. Apparently Clownfish Depot has seen this before, so you can try contacting them. Although they might ask for pictures...

It is useless without photo
With that said, I notice that percula white scales when lay over either dark skin or dark scales tend to have a blue-ish tint to it. I do not have Platinum clowns but my SnowOnyx do have blue-ish tint on the border of the white area which I can see as the dark pigment show through the white scales.

 

[OrionN]

The OP is way too sensitive.
Looking at the video posted om Marine Breeder, I can see the blue-ish coloration on the whiter fish is due to, as I stated before, dark color under the white scales. The blue-ish coloration of the other fish is not clearly seen

Yes, you were. You said

You were literally asking for comments, you just didn't get the specific ones you wanted. If someone in the LPS forum had said they have a blue dendro and asked if it was normal, people would probably want to see pictures in order to know if it is blue, how blue it is, and whether that is normal or not. No one is attacking you, chill.

Ok... Name calling is unnecessary. You got about as much help as can be hoped for. You're not gonna get any more help with that attitude so you should probably just move on. Stick around much longer and you'll see what a derailed thread really looks like.

That isn't very nice. We would all like to see what you've created is all, considering it 2013 and you're breeding clownfish I think it's safe to say we would all assume you have a camera, or a phone with a camera (seeing that is standard in phones now). Don't worry mate, be happy :dance:
