true percula clownfish?

[thefez510]

hey guys so I ordered this 2 supposedly true percula clownfish online. Ive had them for about 5 months now, my question is how long until the third white bar will start showing on them? i contacted the site and they said that it is a true perculla clown but im starting to doubt it since its been a while and still no sign of the third bar showing up. have you guys have/had this issue before with a clownfish?

first picture is the first time i got them, second picture was taken a couple of weeks ago.

Those are true percs. Likely still young and likely misbars

Yes.
Percula misbars actually exist in the wild and that doesn't indicate any sort of health issue or deformity. Many experienced clownfish keepers and breeders pay more attention to physical deformities such as protruding jaws, flared gills and some others.

Those look like true percula but I doubt they are wild collected.

Definitely not wild.
Aside from physical imperfections, misbar in two young juvenile clowns indicate they're tank raised. It'd be somewhat unlikely to get two misbars in the wild and distribute them together.
