Questions on breeding picasso or platinum clownfish

[keh9qd]

I had a couple of questions about clownfish breeding. The questions have to do with breeding specialty clowns.

1. Picasso and platinum clowns are a. percula, is there better odds getting these from a mated pair of picasso clowns or will they just as likely come from a common pair of percs?

2. How common is is to see picassos or platinums in a litter?

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been looking into breeding clowns, and from what I have found is that the extra white coloring (either picasso or platinum variations) is a genetic defect. Having these defects in the parents, greatly increases your odds of them also being in the offspring. Even still, 5% to 30% of a clutch will have some sort of 'additional white'.
I am curious what else you have found or your personal experience, if you have started breeding them.
