p-39092-True-Percula.jpg

Misbar $10-$30

p30417.jpg

Oynx $45-$225 C-Quest and Rods (Pictured) Lineage often more expensive, wild specimens often don't have as much black.

Onyx Picasso $100+ Very similar to Picasso, but has more black markings.

original-picasso-clownfish-1.jpg

Semi-Picasso $30-$110 These Picasso's don't have many if any connecting points on the stripes, lower pricing than regular Picasso's.

Picasso $60-$200 A very well recognized "designer" clownfish, some of the first were from ORA, but are found in the wild.

Platinum/Maine Blizzard $150-$190 The result of breeding many Picasso's with more white markings, Maine Blizzards are from SR, Platinums from ORA and others (SA).

Golden/ Gold orange Hasn't been bred yet, genetic testing hasn't been done so the species could be Percula or Ocellaris. I'm leaning towards Percula.

the-golden-clownfish1-620x419.jpg

 

 

Now for the Ocellaris clownfish A. ocellaris

 

Regular $10-$20 Pigmented iris is an easy to tell feature that distinguishes this species from Percula's, and taller dorsal finnage.

p-69560-clownfish.jpg

Misbar $25 Misbarred clownfish are believed to be the product of clownfish fry in less than preferable conditions.

misbar_perc_or_oce.jpg

Extreme misbar $40 Usually lacking a full bar, some which only have spots on their cheeks and are black are called "Dominoes."

extrememisbar_lg.jpg

B/W $20-$50 Unlike Onyx clownfish, these Darwin Ocellaris can be all black and white.

clownfish_black.jpg

Naked $40-$60 Completely lacking any white stripes or spots.

nakedocellaris_lg.jpg

Stubby $0-$50 A specifically bred fish completely lacking multiple vertebrae, sometimes free due to the extreme deformity. Please do not breed these fish.

Black Night, White Night, Dalmations, etc. There are some more. Also, there are some that are much more expensive.

 

I'm not a huge clown nerd, but I think some of the variants you listed are hybrids Perc/Oscellaris.

Again - I'm not extremely well read in the different hybrids out there, but this article actually had a ton of info from reefbuilders.com

 

http://reefbuilders.com/2010/12/06/sustain...wnfish-crosses/

 

Cool! Now you need to include pics of all the variants :D. My bet is that if you take some different variants from 2-3 years ago and put them next to pics of different variants from today people would have a hard time getting them all correct :D.

Aren't Da Vinci and Fancy Whites the same thing? - they are both B ( C ) grade Wyomings.



Or is it Da Vinci's are B's and Fancy's are more of a C grade?

Da'vincis have more white than most fancy whites, and they are sea and reef

 

This sounds like the color catalog for cars.

LOL! True though

Not to be a condescending jerk, and I am sure you have good intentions and are quite young (and therefore not aware) if I remember correctly, but could you not capitalize the species name, and have both in italics, as I have edited above...

 

Sorry, it is just a pet-peeve of mine :closedeyes: , and I am sure that once pictures are attached to the species it will be quite useful... :)

I actually didn't realize that you're supposed to leave the species name lower case. I'm comparatively young, but I've been reading over various sources of information for years and hadn't noticed that.
