Picasso Clowns Breeding

Are the chances of a Picasso Clown pair laying eggs the same as say a regular mated pair of clowns?

What are the percentages if you had to take a guess?

Thanks.
 
Mature range I believe is around 1 year. Good pairing indications is when you see a growth in one over the other (size), usually indicating that one has shown dominace and is taking the female role. You will also observe "shaking" which is a way of showing submisive behavior (i.e. Male). It takes time for clowns to truely pair up. Many people claim to have paired fish but without evidence of breeding there is no real way of knowing.

Rev, your thread title had me going; I thought you were holding out on us! :D

I agree with Ian about having seen fish spawn (fertile eggs) with relatively little warning, but that's not the norm. Perculas (IMHO) seem to take a bit longer to mature than other species, so I'd plan on at least a year in your tank assuming they are relatively young tank-bred fish.

To answer the question, well, I can't really :rolleyes: but it's probably safe to say that they are similar to other percula varieties.
 
LOL! I wish I was holding out!! :D

I have just always wanted to breed clowns, not for the resale factor, but for the satisfaction of seeing all those cute little baby clowns that I had a hand in. You know like one of the pics on your site? :D

Anyway what better clown than a Picasso right?? LOL!

I got a Picasso coming to me Saturday and now I have to find a mate for it. Got a grade A for $65 from a friend. I'll be ready to start breeding, if they do pair, in about a year so I figure I will get ready.
 
Got all mine from a RC Sponsor, I love them. Wish you the best of luck and make sure you post pics when you get it.
