Which clowns are less deformed? ORA or Bali aquarich?

[Joche]

I don't know who the worst offender is among ORA, S&R, Proaquatics and SA.
It would probably require buying hundreds, if not thousands of clowns, long term from each hatchery to make that conclusion.
ORA might have earned its reputation, whatever it is (good or bad), due to the fact that they are probably the most widely used hatchery. Lots of fish stores like to order from them because the company offers corals for sale as well as clams. Their clowns also get a bigger coverage through DD than any other hatchery.
Perhaps ORA got too big for their own good.

Except S&R, I actually have seen hundreds if not thousands of percula, ocellaris, Clarki, and marroons from those places and C-Quest too, that's were I came to the conclusion that ORA must be the worst offender. But, that was 5+ years ago was actually hoping they got better.
To be fair, I'm talking about common stuff. For some reason, their "designer" clowns at that time actually had good body shape and the "bulldog" face was mostly the only flaw I saw. I just assumed that quantity took priority.

For people like me, that just want captive bred clownfish that resemble their wild counterparts the current market seems like a downgrade.

And don't get me started on "stubby" and hybrids:mad2:.
