My new Picasso grade A clowns.They are alomst identical on the opposite sides. Meaning ones left is the almost same as the others right and vice-versa. $225 for the pair. What do you think?

What is a grade A clownfish ??? Seems expensive to me for clownfish but they do look nice.

awesome deal.

Were the two stripes connect with white.

Yea the gave my a $25 store credit for my two small false clowns I brought in when I bought these

Very nice fish, I am really jealious. I just can not bring myself to pay the price. After paying a high price for a jawfish and it jumping that night, even with a lid on the tank I am gun shy. Once again they are beautiful.

Very nice! I usually don't like Picassos, but those markings are incredible.

+1. Picassos usually look a little diseased for me, but these actually look really cool! I paid $100 for my black Ocellaris misbarred pair, and would definitely pay double for these.

sweet pair...pics after acclimation

Wow Im glad I bought these! I thought they were cool looking and Everyone likes them. Thanks.

Sick picassos, too rich for my blood.

Nice grab, I paid 140 for 2 grade Bs at a local LFS, but I would have had no problem going for these.

$140 is a great deal! My LFS sells pair or grade Bs for $200

Update. 12/05/09 I just bought a sebae anemone. I put it in my tank were the clowns hang out. hours later I came back and it opened up nicely. Then like less than a hour after getting home my 1 Picasso is all over that thing! The other one is still a few inches from it and haning out. So hopefully the other will join

sweet pics man

Last night about 2 in the morning the other clownfish joined the anemone But the other one keep bullying it out of the anemone. This morning the first clown is still in the anemone and the other is no where near it. I did not know this would happen so quick fighting out of the anemone??? We will see what happens when the lights turn on.

ya they will get pretty territorial, only thing that sux is that since ORA ships them the same size, the fighting is a tad bit more brutal.

stinkin sweet pickup!

the picassos look sick bro soo cool. I noticed you were trying to sell a 14 biocube top.Im located in sarasota and was wondering if ya still got it if your too far of a drive.Cuz i need one for my tank.i threw mine away a while ago and got a new goby. i could make egcrate like u got but like clean look. Thanks man.u can pm me or ill check back here.

Hey sorry I have been on vactaion for a few days. I have still have it. Im located in Alva just 15 minutes east of I-75 in Ft Myers. I payed $70 for the 3.24 upgrade with high speed fans. I only ran the 3.24 only for a few months. The new hood on nanotuners.com with NO bulbs or ballast are $80. Ill take $50 for the hood and upgrade with bulbs, ballast and only one of the LED moon lights is working.

fmfa0801, what fish store did you get your Picassos from? I'm over here in Cape Coral and would like to check out that store!

Del prado across from cape hospital. areefcenter.com. They have another store by cape coral parkway and delprado and one on 41 in ft myers by famous dave bbq. Great deals, good corals and fish, alot to choose from and clean stores.

New RBTA my clown host both anemones. My picassos are starting to blacken up. Sorry pics were taken with my iphone.







He still sleeps in this one at night





iphone video

wow those are pretty! im super jealous

Did you ever stop buy any of there stores??

Actually I'm in there alot...both the Del Prado and the Candida (sp?) locations! Super-nice owners!! Maybe we bumped into each other and didn't even know it! I got a pair of B's in there a couple of weeks ago, but I'm still looking for a pair of A's. Did you order yours, or just walk in one day and see them? (At first I thought you meant there was a store out in Alva.) They also opened a new store over on 41 - pretty big - has an orange awning. Have you checked that one out yet?

VERY nice RBTA you picked up!!!

Yes I have been to the one on 41. I mostly go to delprado. The delprado store had the grade As (mine that I bought) and grades Bs when I went in. I brought my two clowns from home to get a store credit. I was so close to buying the grade Bs there but went with the As. Then about few weeks ago the grade Bs were gone. Did you buy the\ grade Bs at the delprado store??? They have a pair of grade Bs at the Candida store in the huge tank. I got my RBTA from the delprado store and now they got Platinum Clown pair in the store big$$$$

I bought my B pair at the Del Prado store Jan. 14 - they had just gotten them in that day...dripping them when I came in. I didn't plan to buy Picassos that day - but couldn't resist! I want some A's like yours, though. I esp. like the one that has the squiggly markings!! I got a pair from Doni's reef that same week, but they are much smaller. What kind of lights do you have over the RBTA? I haven't had good luck with anemones...I got a sebae there a week or so ago, but I think I'm going to put it in my school tank because it's not doing as well as I'd like in my home tank. It's a 90 gallon and I think it's too deep for the anemone with my lights. I'm planning to drop off some of my babies at the Del Prado store this weekend. They're from black x orange ocellaris parents and are about 3 and a half months old. Should end up chocolate colored with black fins...

Never mind the question about your lights. I just read you Custom Biocube thread and see that you have MH! I need to quit buying fish and get one!!

I bought my MH light at the Candida store. They had it on a tank by where they test water with a nem and moroon clown. I paid $150 and think it was worth it. The 41 store i think has Used lighting im no sure though

My lfs sells Picasso pairs for 400-500(ungraded)
and single platinums for almost the same.
misbars are about $40ea

WOW! You are better offf buying from a breeder that grades and WYSIWYG

any updates? also it seems that ORA is releasing picasso's that don't onyx up or fill in in black. I wonder if its due to some outcrosing?

I dont have any updated pics. I was waiting when I switch over to my 39g tank when I put them into a clear breeder . They are blacking up very nice! I say they will be mostly black

very very nice!! too damn expensive for me but they look sick!

I am new to this type of forum but those are some nice picassos! My lfs in El Paso has a pair of Snowcassos for $250. I want to get a pair but man gotta wait. Gotta get the RSM to cycle just a tad longer before I can start adding fish again. too long of a story to get into! Looking forward to new updates. Thanks!

I visit all three ARC stores. Candida is close to home the one on 41 near my cabinetshop & aquarium. All good and knowledgeable people. Thankfully not the horror of lfs that many on these forums make their local shopkeepers out to be. Really nice Picassos' btw.

They look real nice!

I travel to bout 178 stores a month and see a lot of clowns. Plus get ORA. I saw a $600 pair of "snowflakes" this Thursday and would rather have yours buddy!
