My new baby picasso pair!

[davocean]

Got my new baby picasso pair from donisreef(excellent CS and a great/informative site BTW)
Just loving these guys!
Pics are just OK for now, will be working on that.

nice grab...almost look like snowflakes

 

[davocean]

I think the male is suposed to turn out to be a snowflake, or snowcasso.
From my understanding they are cross bred between a picasso and snowflake, thus snowcasso's.

beautiful fish. Doni's fish are great.

Congrats they look very nice! What size are they?

 

[davocean]

So small, babies, like an inch or so.

 

[toastedxb]

very nice

 

[ocreefer14]

oh wow. those are nice! how much do those run per pair?

 

[h2joe]

i love how the one has a tear drop on his right side. nice looking pair, congrats

 

[davocean]

LOL, yeah, teardrop one side, sideways triangle on other.
This happened to to work as a trade for a skimmer, just randomly lucked out.
Think this pair w/ snow mixed in is about $250+ maybe$300 for the pair.
Rare I throwdown for expensive fish/corals, but this was a must have for me, these are just so my favorite clowns!

Nice pick up. I just ordered mine a couple days ago. Should be getting them on wedensday. Are these her grade A's?

nice pair!!!

 

[TheOtherReefer]

davocean, Doni's fish are not a cross between a snowflake and a picasso. Snowflakes are ocellaris clowns and picassos are percula clowns. Both of Doni's parents are regular picasso perculas that produce really nice picasso and snowcasso babies.

cheers

 

[davocean]

Blazedapurp, yes, these are grade A's.
Theothereefer, thanks for clearing that, it's a little bit confusing w/ all the variations.
I still don't quite understand how 2 picassos make a snowcasso, unless a snowcasso is just a picasso that has alot of white, similar to a snowflake(and that is my guess)
I'll check link(and dime rocked!)

 

[blazing]

A snowcasso is a regular picasso just whith a lot more white. Its very hard to get a snowcasso in a batch of babys that's why they are worth so much.

 

[davocean]

Ok, thanks for clearing that(I'm learnin!)
I got these for skimmer trade, and doni said she would hand pick a nice pair, and she sure did.
Couldn't be happier.
