New Picasso's

[reefrf]

Are these Picasso's grade A, B or C? Thanks for your help!

 

[Magga Pie]

I dunno but they look pretty sweet!!

 

[oceancube78]

wow nice picasso's i would say A's but thats my opinion... ill let the clownfish experts here chime in!!

 

[ILLiDaN]

one almost is an A but i would say really nice looking B's

 

[jt_milstead]

One is a good grade B with bar connection on one side, and the other is a regular grade B.

Both are really nice looking.

 

[ExtremeClownfish]

They look to be ora picassos. Ora probably calls them an A while donis reef would call them a B

 

[broncosnation22]

No, got these from a local store down here AquaSD. They are from ORA.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I guess regardless of there grade, it's very subjective & of course......beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!

 

[kentrob11]

Either way those are very nice!

 

[melanotaenia]

good looking fish

and the grading system is such a subjective bunch of nonsense that it really does not matter; there is no scientific basis for grading the clowns anyway.

 

[ILLiDaN]

well yea sad to say but the true enthusiast notices these kinds of things and if people are willing to pay more for nicer patterns im pretty sure that it would matter

sorry reefrf, not meaning to hijack your thread.

i think there needs to be a universal grading system for picassos since they are being sold as different grades.

maybe:
1) Grade B - maybe one side has stripes connecting or really nice misbar

2) Grade A - 2 stripes connect on BOTH sides of fish

3) Extreme marking picasso AKA snowcasso - 3 stripes connect on BOTH sides of fish or Extreme white markings over entire fish

i cant complain about donis reef. i have recieved two grade a's and both have extreme white markings on one side and are grade A on the other. very nice looking fish and nobody can compete with the price as far as im concerned. she offers a very nice product for the price. as far as ORA goes, some of the nicest picasso's ive seen were ORA fish and i believe Donis original broodstock is from ORA. they are a little bit more expensive but they darken up really nice and seem to be a little older/bigger when purchased.

again didnt mean to hijack your thread REEFRF. your picasso's are SWEET and will darken up nicely if you keep them under good light.
