Here are some photos of my 6 young Picasso Clownfish I am growing out and maybe someday be able to breed them and grow out the fry. Sorry about the dirty glass I thought I had cleaned it off. Right now I have them in a 29 gallon tanks with 60 lbs of live rock. In the next week or two I will place a pair of each in their own 29 to grow out and let nature take there course but it may be a couple of years to mature and spawn. They are only around 6 months old. I also have a pair of Black Clownfish but do not have a photo of them yet. The Picassos are only about 3/4 to 1 inch in size.

Those are nice were did the line come from ORA?
C-quest farms here in PR have some amazing almost full white clowns! Not to mention the line that developed Rod's Onyx perculas;)

That's a beautiful little clownfish! I've always wanted to try the black and white false perculas. I've never done any kind of saltwater tank before. One day I should jump in.

The line is ORA and I also have a pair of Rods Onyx Clowns that I purchased last year that are growing out nicely. I wish the nearly all white ones were available. The one person who I know gets one or two from her breeding pair spawns has a waiting list for them and cost double what I paid for these. I have not seen the ones from C-Quest ones yet.

Beautiful little Clowns, I love that big white patch! Will you put them with an anemone?

You should try it, Ryan, no daily WCs with a SW tank! I love SW fish too, one more colorful than the next. If I had the room, I'd reopen my SW tank.

Very nice little picasso clownfish. Good luck!

I have a pair Picasso clownfish. They just spawned today :D

I will try to raise the tiny picasso clownfishes.

The Picasso clwonfish are come from Aussie reef. The wild cought clownfish are very rare. The ORA have lot of picasso they are very popular today.

At C-Quest about 90 % solid white clownfish. Other marine communities they called them " snowflake white clownfish" I do not know what C-quest called them I want them in my tank:P soon.

we have black percula clownfish too.

I will take photos of my clownfish to post here tomorrow if I have time.

The Picasso clownfish and The snowflake white clownfish are not the same. Because the picasso clownfish would have 3 colors are black, orange and white. the snowflake white clownfish have one or 2 colors white and orange.

Duncan, the picasso is a line bred fish not found in the wild.
I beleive C-quest calls them cotton candy clowns
