David R Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 awesome! I would love an albino clown that would be cool . Yeah its strange that with the huge number of young produced every year more colour morphs haven't popped up. I've seen all sorts of variants on the stripes but never anything like albino, leucistic, platinum etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 would it be the way they are breeding them do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Dunno, they use hormones to trigger it, but its still a genetic lottery like "normal" breeding, so I don't see why it would. Its not like they're cloning them! :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 bred or wild caught, its hard to know at the lfs end but i heard that stripes, shade of orange and the stripe itself and number of stripe is dependant on the part of the river its caught. ronnie knows alot bout that i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 IIRC the colour of the pelvic and anal fins have more to do with it. There was something on mfk a while ago about some clowns from a different locality that have pure red/orange fins, not black like almost every clown you see, they were from a different river system. I think there was three different varieties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
