just letting people know I saw a pair of very nice picasso clowns at a store in calgary, ill just say the place has a large shark tank inside.

anyways ive been looking for a set of this quality for awhile now. but had to pass due to the state of my tank at the moment.

Those 2 little guys have been in there for a while now. They are nice little clowns. Pisces had some nice ORA clowns last time we were up. Platinums, midnights, piccassos and snowflakes. Its good to see some different stuff coming this way for decent prices. I would really like to buy a midnight to pair with my Wyoming White.

Wow. what a beauty. i think wyoming whites look so much nicer than platinums. it'll be interesting to see what their offspring looks like if they ever start spawning.

The female has started nest building but I think the male is too young yet. Im
Hoping with the black mixed in it takes over the orange for a white fish with a black face and fins.


Big Al's had snowflakes a while back same with pisces. It seems both stores order from ORA consistantly. Blueworld does as well but i havent seen him advertise an order latley, might wantto get intouch with him. AI orders from ORA as well.

I was thinking of doing the exact same with my snowflake but the husband didn't like them so I went with a semi-snowflake. I still really want a pair of midnights though.

I made a frag section in my sump especially for a pair of really nice snowflakes!!

BTW my other half dislike the Wyoming White as well thats why she had to get "her" clownfish.

I saw those Picassos and thought they were pretty cool, then I saw the price :puppydog: Is that the going rate for these guys?

those have been there since before Xmas and kind of expensive IMO, really nice looking but comes down to it still just a clown.

I used to think that too. But once you get a clown (or any other fish) that the average reefer doesnt see in any other tank it makes it worth it. People come over, compliment and drool when they see your high end fish; it makes the price tag worth it.

Get the fish that excites you, not other people.

Exactly! Build your tank for you not others, I choose to have a pair of standard Ocellaris clowns and in my wifes tank we went with a pair of "Emo Nemos" (Black & White Ocellaris Clownfish).
