Not sure what these clowns are..

[Mabyboi]

Hey Guys,

Been following this website for a while, finally decided to make an account. I DESPERATELY need to find out what these clowns are.

I'm buying these clowns this week, and I cant quite figure out the specific type they are. He calls them "Fancy Whites"; a mix between Wyoming whites and something else?

Please help me! My curiosity is KILLING ME!!!

Thanks Guys!

Hello,
How much are they going for?

 

[hawgdawg]

Those are ocellaris

 

[Mabyboi]

We were going over them and they're apparently an odd one off mix of a Picasso and snowflake...

Maybe Doni can chime in?

Picasso no doubt

Picasso? I have a premium Picasso and I've never seen one look like these guys... They don't seem to have the standard Picasso look....

Look at their iris. That decides it for me and the dorsal finn

Here's some newer pictures. I've heard everything from fancy whites, to a Wyoming white/Picasso mix, to Stormtrooper/Gladiator Clowns...

fancy for sure. Honestly, it looks like a bit of bad breeding went into the one on the right. His skeletal structure isn't quite up to par.

IMHO, those are hybreds. Ocellaris/percula. The sideburns can be traced all the way back to the very first male "ORA Picasso". The short dorsal fin also indicates they have percula blood. The "helmet" is from a C-quest ocellaris, and later showed up in Sustainable Aquatic's "Fancy Whites". The eyes also look ocellaris to me. I believe that somewhere along the line, someone bred a Picasso with a helmet sporting ocellaris.

She does look a little different, but still beautiful to me!

Mayboi alot of these fish show up with physical deformities. Since these are relatovely new hybrids we dont know if these deformities are signs of other problems.

A lot of hybrid breeding going on lately those look like picasso at the end of the day you have a nice lookin pair of clowns

Should I be worried for these clowns then? They're about 2 years old and have been perfectly healthy and eating well their whole lives, always quarantined as a pair..

Doesn't really matter what they are to me, I still love them, I'm just curious for the naming.. Looks like some Picasso mix

 

[Mabyboi]

Thought you guys would be interested, I did a bit more research based on the name "fancy white clownfish" and I was able to find a few images that resemble mine, slightly different white area, but they show the same "deformity" of the head to shoulders..
