New picasso's

[MJI]

There looks to be a slight underbite in the larger fish, but to be honest, it seems par for the course with these fish.

Certainly in the ones I've seen, there seems to be a prevalence for it in this breed out.

Not getting into the for and against arguments; if you like em, then good for you. I hope they give you years of joy

undershot jaw, classic hillbilly inbreeding

If You brits start talking about americans inbreeding...

At least we have dentists.:lol: :lol:

 

[Jovreefer]

These fish are both from wild caught parents (from my knowledge the male was purchased several months after the female too so most likley not even the same location)

no "classic hillbilly inbreeding" at all, & how could you possibly tell with the only clear picture being one of the mouth open?

Just for the record, when the mouth is closed ...again.. there is no overbite at all, looks just like the other fish. now stop being jelous and enjoy my fish

Sugartooth that was the only one I really wanted I love this little guy

Jovreefer,
I think they look cool. Good luck to you and keep us posted on their growth.

Jov, your totally right there is no inbreeding here, I think people expect picassos to have deformed face and gills, I have not seen this in any of the pictures I have of these fish.

your females face does not look messed up to me, i have turned down ORA picasssos, I ordered and they came in with totally smashed faces, They also died at the LFS, they were very sickly. I have also seen ORA picassos that were absolutely perfect at Atlantis Aquarium In VA, I think these fish coming from a small breeder may have less bent gills, but we will have to wait and see.


Sorry to again Derail a thread, Any updates jov

:celeb3:

Nothing really new to update. The smaller picasso is eating anything & everything like a pig & I'm thrilled to see how good an appitite it has now. My favorite one only eats certian things, I'm really hoping its appitite pics up to its sibling soon so these babies can start growing big & beautiful.

Any new pictures Jovreefer?

 

[leoslizards]

I would like to see more pics also. Left and right side as someone else suggested.

 

[Mikigo]

are these ORA Picassos? or Bones is breeding his own? may be nice to pair offsprings from both to cut down on inbreeding.

yes, we need pics

 

[GSMguy]

Bones breeds them.

 

[Jovreefer]

I will update soon I promise.
