Mixed Breed Clowns

I have an Female Orange Ocellaris and a Black/White Male Ocellaris that are mating and I am currently raising about 50, 16 day olds. I was wondering if any one could give me some insight as to what color to expect from these guys as adults. Will any of them be just Orange/White or Black/White, or will they all be some where in between (Halloween Clowns)?

There is a possibility you may see the snowflake gene come out in these.

Kidding... This is not going to happen most likely. I would crap my pants if it did.

Most likely you will get one or the other or a extremely muddy orange color. A onyx looking variant would be nice but highly doubtful. The desired results are only reached when you selectively in-breed like crazy and hope for the best.
 
Okay, so a local Aquarium Store (Seacoast NH) has a Mocha Clown that they get from the University of Maine, come to find out it is a Orange Ocellaris and Black Ocellaris cross. Can be seen at this link
(apparently can't do that). Search U of Maine Mocha Clown to see pic if interested.
