The Picasso Clarki clownfish is a strain that has been a long time coming, considering we’ve had picasso, snowflake, platinum and wyoming white clownfish for years as well as misbarred maroons and spotcinctus clownfish. We first spied a picture of a truly picasso patterned clarki clownfish while researching the captive breeding of the pinnatus batfish by Bali Aquarich but a couple real picasso clarki we recently spotted swimming in the aquarium wilds of Great Britain.
UK-based livestock dealer Ocean Corals UK flaunted their recently acquired picasso clarkii clownfish on Ultimate Reef and we believe we saw a price on their gills to the tune of about £175, about $290 for the duo of multispotted, double pearl-eyed Amphiprion clarkii. Ocean Corals UK and Bali Aquarich have yet to reply to our inquiries regarding the picasso clarki clownfish but the former is pobably trying to protect their source of the coveted strain while the latter is probably busy Breeding pinnatus batfish.
