    I have some Clownfish bred by Tal Sweet of the Marine Breeders Initiative (MBI). Here are some pics and info from his website:
    http://fishtalpropagations.com/PicassoVariant.aspx
    I not exactly sure how many of each I have as they stay grouped together in a pretty tight ball. Here is what I think I have:
    4 Picasso Grade B Clownfish $35 each
    8 Misbar Picasso Clownfish $25 each
    2 Ocellaris Clownfish $15 each
    I am really not sure on the numbers of each and not sure how I will become sure.
    All about 1 inch. I can deliver to Fall Fest of course and may bring some extras to swim in my tank, I haven't decided.

    Hmmm... It's hard to say for sure without seeing them. Will you have a tank there?

    Ok I just saw your post "and may bring some extras to swim in my tank,"

    I might buy a couple, I'll have to see them...

    If I only have two Grade B Picasso's they just sold. I just emailed Tal to have him help make sure what I have.
    I am going back and forth on bringing any extra to sell at the swap. They are extremely healthy but that would be a lot of stress and I just got them home late Sunday night. We will see, I think I will atleast bring a few.

    Joel do you have them at your place now? Could I stop over and see them? I would be interested in a pair but I too have to see them first before I buy them, Im too picky about that.

    I talked to the breeder Tal Sweet tonight. It is really not possible to tell if the clowns will be Grade A or B until they mature. Some even turn platinum but he can tell that by the second week so none of these are platinums. But the ones that have full bars could become either A's or B's.
    So I will sell the ones with full bars as B's and maybe they will become A's. I have 4 (maybe 5) with full bars. The rest will be sold as Misbars. I have updated the info in my original post.

    Would you sell any of the platinums?

    I would if any would turn Platinum Sean, but as I understand it none will be. You can come over and look. I haven't made it to your place anyway (sorry) and we can settle up on the UV. Trevor is coming over tonight to look at them.

    I already have a piccasso. How many typically do "well" together in a tank?

    Like most clowns they would tend to pair up. A third would be the odd man/girl out. But larger groups I believe do alright. I have 14 in a tank now together and they "ball" up..

    sorry missed the reply until today, i may still be interested in the mis-bars but think i'll wait until after the frag swap to see how i'm doing on cash, also got a tank finishing up cycling and plan on moving my maroons in to that and putting some other guys in my 55, thanks
