Semi - Picasso

[eferna]

wondering is a semi-picasso a Picasso Grade B?? All this grading can be confusing cause some people grade differently there is no real standard

 

[Doe5ia14]

Generally yes, a semi-picasso would be considered a grade-B. Which usually means the white only connects on one side. Where the grade-As usually connects on both sides of the fish.

thanks, but some people sell grade b with no lines connecting, so what would that be classified as?

simi picasso would prolly be a misbar/grade c

Maybe if you post us up a picture WE in the RC community could "grade" your lil guy I love Picasso's so they are all "grade A's" to me! But, yes. Generally the responses you've gotten from the others in the community seems to be the grading "scale" Let us know if you purchase one or already have one!

 

[eferna]

looking to buy, what about these?

You are right the "grade" has gotten weird the past year or so.

ORA originally labeled a "Grade A" as one with bar connection on both sides, and "Grade B" with bar connection on only one side. I dont think Doni follows the same grading process.

Grade A or not, that fish is cool all the same. I would buy it...given that they arent trying to get your car for it.

They were all called Culls not to many years ago.

im beginning to think if this is a picasso or a snowflake..Would i be fine with 1 snowflake and 1 picasso?

 

[jbax]

snowflake and picasso should do ok. i would look for a pattern i like, not the name. unless someone is charging you grade A price for a misbar fish

Here is what I have heard from my Fish Breeding friends in terms of grading

Grade A- 2 bars, on both sides, touch (no black in between)

Grade B- 2 bars, on one side, touch (no black in between)

Snowcasso- ~70% white

Platinum- >90% white

No problem, like the previous posted said you can pair them. Either buy 2 small ones are 1 large and 1 small.

I agree nice looking fish.

 

[eferna]

what about this guy?

 

[mhowe9]

I actually like the marking on the one in the back a little better.

So is this a semi picasso? The dorsal fin is a bit worn I'm hoping it will recover soon.
