half stripe?

[stealthbimmer]

i recently purchased two clown from my lfs, one of them is smaller than the other and its middle strip is only half there. it goes around the top and the bottom, but does not connect. Will the stripe eventually fully develop?

sry for the crappy pic, it is from my phone

Depends. Some juvenile clowns develop their stripes with age, while others maintain their "mis-bars" throughout their life.

That clown won't develop it's mid stripe all the way. My misbar ocellaris did develop black between the white stripes though, that could always happen.

Thats a misbarred Ocellaris. What you see is what you will always have.
