Difference between Picasso and snowflakes

[CheckitOut]

I was just wondering what the difference is between Picasso clowns and snowflake clowns?

Their price?

Snowflakes tend to be mostly white with snowflake-esque unique markings. To me they look like clowns the paint has been stripped off of with a minimum of the orange and black.

Piccassos generally have a little helmet mark and the white should touch all bars. I think there are a few different schools of thought on this and then there are blobbies and misbarred and nakeds which are all manner of clowns inbetween.

Basically just depends on how the coloring is oriented on the fish.

Sorry I can't help more, I think more seasoned clown people will be able to fill in the details better

Snowflakes are overbarred Occelaris
Picassos are overbarred Perculas

Just an addition to what has already been said. arammell called them overbarred, and that is EXACTLY what they are. It is important to note that in both species Snowflakes=ocellaris and Picasso=percula the overbarring is GENETIC, whereas mis-barring is often associated with poor water quality, nutrition of broodstock or larvae, overbarring occurs based on the gene or allele associated with barring. Intestestinly, it often occurs as a two thirds overbarred and one third normal bar in the F1 generation, not the breakdown if it were a normal recessive trait.
