First you have to get the record of the origin of the parents, then depending on the place of origin you use different formulas also factoring in how far back the more A grade picasso one's linnage goes. Use avogadro's number as the denominator in the pythagorean theorem and multiply by the square root of the number of generations back the more A grade picasso one goes. This should give you a rough estimate. For a more accurate percentage divide your answer by 100 and then multiply the result by 0. There is your % of grade A picassos.
just kiddin. Remember, many times several of the fry die in the metamorphic stage before they even have developed stripes, there are almost always some deaths in this period becasue of the stress on the babies. there is no way to be able to tell which ones that died would have developed into different grades. Getting an "Actual %" is probably impossible. I DOn't think there is an actual formula to figure out that kind of percentage. Sometimes regular perculas will have a picasso trait in their genes, and sometimes picasso babies will look like regular perculas besides the normal A and B grading. Technically there is no difference genetically between the grades(I think). We are just assigning names to random patterns on the clowns. Sometimes the clowns have different patterns on both sides having a normal 3 stripe or B grade pattern while the other side of the body has an A grade pattern. Too mant variables IMO.
So I hope this helps

When ORA started selling Picasso clown they sad it was very few like 5 or 10% I think. But now they have more pairs and they are getting more like 40 to 50% but the new pairs are probably offspring of there original pair and that a subject for a hole other thread. This is just what I have herd so I don't really know.

Hey guys, here are some F2 Picasso pictures. These are Picasso True Percula, not Snowflake Ocellaris. These guys are still young, less than an inch right now, the pictures make them look a lot bigger.
Dustin, those are beautiful! Any pictures of the parents and when will they be available? Does the white gradually cover the entire body once they mature?

I've always thought that Picasso clowns have a much better body shape than snowflakes and much fewer deformities. I never much cared for the snowflakes but these strongly white picassos are much more attractive than the deformity-ladden snowflakes. Thanks for sharing the pics Dustin.
