Cool! It almost doesn't even look like a clownfish anymore.

Maybe that one will grow on me after a while, but as for now the Jury is still out. Thanks for posting it though, always cool to see new stuff.

I think all the hybrids are stupid. It ****es me off to see people doing this.

It's like the Oscar of the saltwater world. The way they keep breeding different colors/patterns.

[aerius007]

Yeah, jury is in. Last time I had a fish that white I had to flush it down the toilet. I like the picassos a lot, but these are just ugly.

 

[Murphs205]

i would rather have a B grade Picasso than on of them ,,

 

[princesuhaib]

Awesome... we have finally bred all of the characteristics out of the clownfish! Yay! First everyone tries to get ones with messed up stripes or coloration and name them picasso, onyx or snowflake clowns. Now they are trying to get rid of all the markings. I don't know about you guys but when I first started in this hobby it was the amazing colors of the fish and corals in the reefs that kept me wanting more.
If this was a dog breeder instead of a fish breeder they would be upset that it didn't fit the standards of the breed. If you keep messing with things long enough you can really get something that wasn't meant to be... how about a pomeranian/mastiff combo? We can call it an ORA Pomastiff.

ugly but i would love to have a pair and then 200 babies $$$$$$$$$$$

 

[GROWSZOAS]

I personally prefer the bulldog and shitzu hybrid myself. I'll let you derive the name rather than spelling it. It's pretty much what I think of these fish as well. Why even call it a clownfish when it doesn't look like one anymore? I agree with you that its the colors that keep me wanting more in this hobby. I guess everyone can have a different opinion on this "breed" of clown...my opinion is that it sucks.
