Grade A vs. Grade B Picassos - What's the difference?

[AliKat]

I keep seeing mention of A grade and B grade picassos. Could someone please tell me what that means? I'm curious which I have.

IMO, Grade As just have a more in depth morph on their white bars. While grade Bs tend to just have an extra bump on the rear part of the middle bar.

more of the bars connect. Grade B is usually the offspring of Grade A stock. Grade B has NO connecting bars while Grade A does. Woodstock's @ ReefSanctuary are amazing Grade A's. Ive seen Picassos places such as my LFS that you couldn't tell if they were picassos unless you really looked.

ORA will only use Grade A to produce their Picasso clowns allegedly which also add to the "myth" that Grade A are better broodstock canidate. Certainly, Grade A seem to produce more picasso patterns in their offspring.

They charge more.

 

[dalilgriffith]

that too.

I think it is silly that they charge extra for that. Clowns with complete stripes were all that were available when I got mine...
