Help these guys find a home

[dcombs44]

Hey guys. I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a BTA for my new percs. I'm hoping that somebody has a clone or two from one of their's that they'd be willing to sell/part with. I'd be willing to pick up. Please Help!

Here's my play on the emotions. Aren't they cute, you can't possibly leave them out on the streets can you?

true or false

 

[dcombs44]

They were labeled as true at the LFS, but I'm not totally sure. It's come to my attention that they may be misbars, but I'm not sure of what species. Their markings are leading me to believe that they are false percs (unfortunately), but I bought them because I liked the markings. Not being a clownfish expert, I thought that maybe they simply hadn't received all their markings yet, but that was an uneducated guess.

Any ID help, would be appreciated.

Thye would apear to be False to me. I thought true's had all there bars?? But I don't know. Maybe someone here does??

I have a trio of false (cathy's clowns) with full markings. Their body structure looks different as well, my false perks are shorter and more stout. These seem to be longer. But, thats coming from the local refishtard.

I snapped some pictures at lunch, but didn't have time to get them posted. Maybe if you guys can get a look at both of them from head to tail, it'll help.

Thanks,

I may be in touch. I've had a couple of other offers today. All are about within the same distance, so it'll probably amount to who I can schedule something out with first.

Thanks!!:beer:

I'm going with true percs because it takes them significantly longer to develop all three bars

 

[danfrith]

I would say occelaris.

 

[dcombs44]

It seems the jury is split on this one. I would say that time will tell.

And........ultimately it doesn't matter. I'll love em either way.:love1:

Hey guys, here's a better pic of the clowns for further species debate

This will either help, or add to confusion. Ever think it may be a hybrid?
