irishtexan Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hello everyone, Ive had this clown for about 5 months now. I bought him when he was less than 1in long and now he is about 2 1/2in. When I bought him he looked like an O. Clown. But now he is starting to get these black splotches around his stripes and it looks like he might be a Percula Clown after all. Not the best pics but oh well. Here are some pics: Is this an O. Clown or a Percula? Thanks! -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It is an ocellaris. True perculas, from what I've heard, have more black right around the black margin. Andrew, if you look at the pics on my blog you can see the difference in the pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtexan Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok cool. Thanks Cindy! The thing is, is that in the past week it has gotten more and more black pigments. It started around the head and is moving all the way down the back and body. Will it eventually be solid black on the body? -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 The answer is he might. Some clowns do get almost all black. They are called Onyx, like the mid nineties rap group, clowns. Others get more black, but still retain their orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishtexan Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 Ok Thanks! There isnt any black on his face, just on his body. There is no black on the stripes either so its not any kind of burn or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
