nyoder23 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So on Monday after work I went by RCA to pick up my new clowns from Nick. So these are the pics form that day and I am going to keep updating as they start to fill out and get more black in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Those look to be Picasso's man, or possibly Platinums, I get those 2 confused all the time, either way, they probably, and I stress that probably in the hopes that Barelycuda will chime in with his expert opinion, not get too much more in the way of black.

nyoder23 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was very pleased when I really just wanted to buy them all! I am just gonna have to get another tank.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 They are picasso's or shmowcasso's as Nick likes to call them. They will blacken up as time goes on. The parents are beautiful IMO as they are in tank #5 in the clownhouse Mick has seen them. It will take some time. IF you have been to Westside and seen the pair in Tim's show tank they looked about the same as yours now. I delivered them to him right about a year ago. Since they are a percula variant they are a little slow to grow. One of the best foods you can give them to color them up is cyclopeeze. It is high in anthaxsine (i know I didn't spell that correctly) and will bring out their color the fastest. I'll find you a pic of the broodstock so yo can see what they should darken up to.

nyoder23 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 That would be great. I like watching thing grow over time so I have no problem waiting. I will have to get some of that food too then. Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I was too busy drooling over Dave's pair of Darwins LOL But, I will say this, when we got our pair of Darwins from Dave about a year ago, well, 10 months give or take LOL they had the black body, but orange noses, 10 months later and our female is almost completely black and white, and the male is very very close.

Barelycuda Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Here is a shot of the broodstock. Yours should get dark like these. They are a nice looking pair, I like the markings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I remember those now LOL They are nice, but I still prefer my Darwins :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I remember those now LOL They are nice' date=' but I still prefer my Darwins :P[/quote'] To each his own Mick The Darwin black & whites are a little slow to finish their development of complete black but to me they are one of my favorites also. Even if my female draws blood..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoder23 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I A really looking forward to see the outcome. I agree with you about the markings too. And then some day I will get the Darwins as well those I have always wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
