From what I understand, this is a Picasso variant originating from Bali Aquarich that merely has a lot of black background - as opposed to a more traditional picasso that has primarily orange background. To say they are better than anything else is a personal opinion on what is visually appealing to you. To say they a black background picasso isn't available in the USA is not entirely accurate though. I've seen some from Booyah that are called Black Hawk Picasso, and if you do a google image search you can find more. There's nothing too special about the "Bali" than it is a specific breeder. Black background picasso's are available if you search.

I was lucky enough to pick up 3 of these from elos in June. IMO much nicer than other picasso's I had been looking at.

Well ive been researching these guys for a while if a wholesaler tells you they are from bali that maybe but there is a few hatchery and even if you get it from " bali aquarich" make sure you demand a( p1)thats the grade they used for their extreme p2 is like a real kool b grade and p3 would be low grade Picasso becarefull you dont get suckered into buying a "a1" "a2" those are like regular Picasso we see here but raised in bali in aquarich also they have s1 s2 s3 those are like "fancy white aka davinci but in a weired way like mix with picasso n a " davinci " kool interesting clownfish the breeder of this fish name is wen ping su .

Picasso clownfish from "Bali Aquatech" cost this much. People believe the buzzword of "Bali" makes the so much more special. I don't understand if it's bragging rights or if the Picasso sounds more exotic because of the location? But I do agree that the price they command is a little out there. Certainly there are equally good looking fish from domestic breeders for much less $$.

Well I you are a hard core clown lover like a few of us , an do a little research you wil know that they are unique on their color, "paterns", body shape, and face .its basically knew blood into the clown scene .and they do cost more because they come all the way from "bali" to buy in other continent you not buyin a $500 little order+ your miserable $59 the us hatcheries charge on flat rate. Or free shipping on a x amount
You spend that dont work like that. I tried many venders around my. Erea to try to bring these in around my erea .they got back at me and they said it wasn't worth it .so I did my research and found out prices like minum , paper work etc..so I gave up my pockets weren't dip enough. But if I did I would've jump on these bali in a heart beat , out of country orders are $3000 minimum $400+ shipping , import /export lisence , "you need to qualified" $150 each order you would need a certificate to declare each piece that's coming in that day by a fish n wild life inspector .so after you spend all that money , time etc.. you a climate them and boom!!! 6 dead others stressed out it takes about 3 days in a box .so yeah $250-$450for a P1 its about correct now that 1k that sold I believe it .it probably had sick face marking or on body.

Basically these are like the samsungs of clownfish now .its just is if you like something that bad buy it.i personally never buy something because "is in"i buy it for the way it looks. I love clownfish some people like, wrasses , others are into shrooms , lps, sps etc..example a chalice called jelly bean $1200 size of a dime .would I buy that ? Hell no! Would someone that loves chalice buy that "if "they had tge the money? Lets say tax season got paid 4800 $ hell yeah there's people that would dish that kind of money .thats why to each its own .I personally own 1 p1 with the cheek marks paid way more than 300 $ I ordered a second p1 received it today on qt + I bought a s1 kind a looks like a davinchi picasso mix im pairing him with san Jays photon female from his first released batch only sold less than 80 total after that he never had the same mix female killed the male .
Now I understand a little bit better why these cost more. Can you post a picture of the ones that you have? Thanks.I will as soon as they get better. ed shipped the clowns on Thursday 19 to get them on 20th 10:30 am next day fedex .they mess up forgot the package in the facility I ed call numerous time spoke to a few supervisors of the mis take and they said they would put it in another truck that my package would arrive at 4pm well it never did. I was unable to pick up . So saturday at 8am im calling ed is calling so I told a rep I would pick up as soon as they open so NOT to load it in tbe truck bcus did not want tbe fish to go all around town before it gets to me. So they said ok so ed was calling and I get a call before I was about to leave that they had already loaded to box in the truck [profanity]so I had a 12% chances they would somehow be alive becuase temp were 40's on shipping day ed put heat packs ,double bagged, heavy dutty bags, insulated professional shipping box,plenty of water & oxygen I received the box at 12:45 pm Saturday so I open the box and the clowns were moving I was surprised I couldn't believe it temp that day was 55 and the water inside tbe box was 68.7 wow!!! So now fish are very stressed out so dont mind the color
