We feed the ORA pellets, flake and a frozen mix. They are supposed to be more black, another reefer here ( Helfrich's Chic ) has a female out of the same brood that has turned black. This is an older picture and they have gotten darker now, however they still have not turned completly black- we are ok with that, they are healthy and that is all that really matters...

Thanks for the comps :D
 
My ORA pair are getting darker. I wonder how long it takes them to be fully colored. Here is a pic when I got them. They have darkened up a bit since I've had them.

your clowns might not be getting more black because of the BTA, there are reports of some BTA's causing black to fade on true percs.

This pic has been up before but here is an old one of my ORA picasso on the bottom.

& I know the title says ORA but here is my Bonesreef picasso's when I recieved them.

Very cool clownies everyone! I'm jealous! We've been looking at getting some Picasso's from ORA and recently (today) had our LFS check their availability with ORA. They said they don't have any full Picasso's right now but should shortly. They did offer some "semi-Picassos". I'm wondering if anybody had ever heard of these before? I'd love to see some pictures! Apparently they are from the Picasso broodstock? but the tail markings are different and they offer them at a little over half the price as I was quoted ~60 while the full Picasso's are ~$100. My LFS wasn't really familiar with the Picasso's, so didnt have much info....I'm thinking these are the ones that don't have the "true/full" markings?

Thanks everyone for any insight you might have on this, and for all of your knowledge! This is my first posting, but I've spent many hours reading in the past! Yes, its an obsession...

:D
 
here's mine i got like 4 month ago now they have more black too.

They are ocellaris!
 
Here's mine I got back in August. This pic is when I first got them. Since then, the black outlines have gotten considerably darker and more black, particularly on the back behind the white eye stripe. I'll try to post an updated photo soon.

Ok I see. Thanks. :) So these people are the originators of these Picasso clowns and they are soo expensive because of their rare markings?

I wanted to get one but I just found out my so called Percula is actually a maroon. :|
