Those are misbars, or possibly grade B semi-picassos. The white on picassos will be in random patterns all over their body. Here's an example of a pair of picassos...

You shouldn't have paid over $50 for each of yours, otherwise you got ripped off.

Their parents may have been picasso's but these 2 look like extreme misbars to me. Where did you get them? The look a little beat up, is that just the pictures?

Ditto... but it isn't like you can look at a model number or serial # to be able to tell. It is kinda subjective. I'd still say NO though. They are NOT picasso's.

Did you see them in person first, or in pics?

 

[sanchostattoos]

I didn't pay anything for them i actually traded my maroon clowns for them. And yes they are a little beat up he brought them like that to me but they are doing great and eating a lot so hopefully they make a full come back. Thank you everybody for your help.

Then you made a good trade.

 

[sanchostattoos]

The clown in the first pic appears to be sloughing off some intestinal lining.

These new clowns need to be put in a low stress environment with excellent water quality, and excellent nutrition + supplements.

What will you be feeding them?

 

[jefathome]

yeah, good trade...

There actually currently in my frag tank. And there both eating pellets and frozen food like mysis shrimp. I've had them for about 1 week now and they are doing great

They are Grade C Picasso, or Semi Picasso, pending on which breeder you got them from.
Once they fatten up they will be very nice.I see a lot of potential for them to darken up....

 

[Mache62]

Is it true the grading is based on how the white bars are connected?

 

[jt_milstead]

Thats part of it. Some breeders give a higher grade by the amount of white, not just bars.

Everybody grades clowns slightly different, but i personally would consider those semi picassos or grade Cs.

A misbar clown i consider something different, a clown which does not have a complete bar, like my female in the pic below

Given a good diet and strong lighting the clowns you have should darken up pretty nicely

lol damn grade Cs. That's harsh
