Is he a Picasso?

[Myka]

I bought him as a "regular" True Percula, but I think his coloration counts as to be a "Picasso". What do you think?

 

[DaltonJames]

no

 

[Myka]

Why not? I'm unclear what counts then...

EDIT: I added a photo of his other side.

 

[dalilgriffith]

definitely not what people here would call them but there is no true definition other than abnormal coloration. Id call this a Picasso in my book.

 

[DaltonJames]

ok i say mabey but still not sure where did you get it

This is my picasso as a baby:

She is coloring up beautifully.

Why isn't the picture there? Apparently it converts it from nano-reef to Reefcentral. Just change reefcentral to nano-reef.

I think it would be a low grade.....regardless though who cares about these "designer" names? It's a beautiful clown!

 

[Myka]

fish02: Oooo nice one!!! Is yours darkening up in arange color? Mine is quite yellow...

Eklikewhoa: Ya, I figured if my clown counted as a "Picasso" that it would be low-grade.

DaltonJames: I think it was a Florida shipment he came on, but don't quote me on that!! He just came in with the other True Percs, and I picked him out because he was different. I've been waiting for a buddy for my other Perc for about 4 months. It's tough to get True Percs in these neck of the woods.

Mine is turning black. I like it!

It has nothing to do with coloring rather pattern (white).

Yes, I understand that. I'm just hoping my Perc's base color will become more orange with age, which I think it will. I definately don't want him to become mostly black though.

if he is a good clown he will turn mostly black,

Nice looking fish i would not call it picasso just a nice true perc.

its not low grade, most of the grade B ORAs are horrible looking with bent gills and the like.

MYKA's fish is far too pretty to call Grade B

I would consider it a 1/2 and 1/2 its not a full picasso to me, but not a full true perc color, either way stunning clown.

I agree, very nice looking perc, but not a picasso.

 

[decent37]

maybe call him a monet or a dali clown something like that!
