What is the Most Beautiful Clown Fish to you

[Doni]

I paired them up.
They came from different LFS and the female was older than the male.

You should easily get two pairs from your 5 and possibly a trio!

The thing about this is, in the beginning there was not a whole lot of ways of identifying the differences between a A. Percula and a A. Ocellaris, but because they were/are so similar looking it was not a unusual thing to get a pair of A.O./A.P. clowns breding. This is the main reason for the color differences. The more orange coloration is an Occ. thing, the more yellow is a A. Ocellaris thing.

What in the world?!?! This is NOT the reason for the color differences.
Picasso clowns are 100% true percula, they are a lighter orange color when younger & as they age & get fed more variaty in our tanks the colors darken to the brilliant darker orange.

Also WC True percs from different local's will have different colors ...maybe due to the food in that local... True percs from PNG & SI are usually a very deep bright beautiful orange where true percs from an undisclosed location are more likley to be the lighter orange.

....alot of picassos seem to have deformities and i speculate that there might be ocilaris genes in there gene pool

I agree! I think Cinnamon Clownfish are often overlooked. But they have a beautiful bright orange, a mostly black body and a really yellow tail. Here's mine:

Clarkii's seem to get a bad rap for being ugly. I think my clarkii is awesome!

I agree about the A. fuscocaudatus.

They would probably be my favorite. Then followed by a nice GSM and A. chrysogaster.

That is so rad, awesome pic!
Those guys are as beautiful as they are HUGE!

 

[davocean]

Not sure if these are the MOST beautiful(those picasso's and onyx make me jealous) but I like my combo, WSM fem and GSM male.
