piccaso clowns at 2.5 reds?

the sun is sold already..

the whole batch of clowns only 1 pc have weird art on it...

i guess normal artwork on body = true percs

special artwork = picasso ???

maybe tht explains the price? anyway its quite red to me in my opinion.

Pricing depends on 3 things:

1) Color

2) Pattern

3) Survivability

does look like picassos but not the fancy ones like on the net. only spotted 2 unique pieces, one with a white cap and the other a tear drop on one side, should be still there.

blotchy left 8 pieces, average size 3" not 1.5". 8.5 reds

[RedStar]

What Clowns are these?

Have they quarantine these blotchy fellas yet when u were there?

my apologies, typo error on the size..

[M3Morph]

Actually, considered Grade B picasso as long as one side of the white bar touches the other. However, do note that Grade A or B does not determine the price of the clownfish. It is as Fuel mentioned, the amount of white, pattern and health that determine the price of the clownfish.

On a side note, Grade C picasso is also known as misbar to some.

Cheers

are the bars touching each other?

if they are i probably did not see then yes then those will be grade B perculas.

[ambystoma82]

NICE!

monocentris japonicus!

very very uncommon and super beautiful fish!

[ATcraz]

Any blue/golden goby and baby maxima seen?

[FuEl]

It's not all about grade of the picasso. The grading system is inherently flawed. Grade As have become so common now that I don't even value them as much.

The fish below sells for $300, I call it "Tiger".

no problems

nope no qt, they just changed to the clear bags and put in more air.

pineapple fish still there with all the picasso!

[straydum]

i read on rc that grade a means the 2nd and 3rd bars are connected. if not its a grade b, but having said that there are many grade b's that are nicer and sell alot more than normal grade a's

I saw something like this and also white cap pattern @ ML yesterday.. Very nice... :thumbsup:

[ambystoma82]

Oh well, beauty lies in the eye of beholder,if u can afford and likes the fish,then dun b too bother by e pricing and grade,else we will have to start a stocks graph for their grade very soon

Cheers to every1 selection

Many thanks to all fish breeders...
