Just to clarify...

What Doni has are snowcassos (perculas), NOT snowflakes (ocellaris). Doni has awesome clowns and I've gotten some of mine from her but snowcassos and snowflakes are two different species

 

[1geo]

Different "species" I don't think so. The dictionary defines a species as, "A common definition is that of a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, and separated from other such groups with which interbreeding does not (normally) happen." Percula and Ocellaris interbreed and have fertile offspring. I did not realize that there is a specific definition or difference between snowflakes and snowcassos. I believe Doni Marie coined the name snowcassos as for who or what organization came up with snowflakes, I don't know.

 

[Chelsey]

Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion percula = different species

Interbreeding almost always only happens in the aquarium where the fish are in close proximity of each other, not in the big fish bowl.

Doni Marie did coin the name snowcasso when she was looking for a name for the picassos that had an excessive amount of white on them.

Snowflakes have been around longer than snowcassos (not necessarily picasso clowns in general but the clowns that carry the name snowcasso) and were originally bred by ProAquatix in England. ORA now produces snowflake clownfish as well.

Snowflake clowns = Amphiprion ocellaris
Snowcasso clowns = Amphiprion percula

 

[Toddrtrex]

The are different species, A. ocellaris and A percula, like Chelsey stated, the only difference being that they each have "excessive" amounts of white on them compared to the "normal" ones.

While snowflake and snowcasso aren't scientific names, just ones given by different breeders they do represent different species.
