FrankenBakon Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hello everyone! Ordered some picassos and was told they sent me "grade A or extreme" picasso... Is there a grading system? I love the one where all the stripes connect but it's got a weird gray head instead of black is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Nice looking clowns there. They will continue to darken up as they mature. The gray is probably orange transitioning to black. Rob (MrCobb) is a local clownfish breeder and can certainly give you more info on the breeder's grading systems. It is mostly French to me. Lol. You should shoot him a PM. He is always extremely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankenBakon Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Here's a better hopefully right direction pic.. And ok thanks I wasn't sure if the whole top of the head would get black or not it had me nervous that maybe something was wrong with it.. Not too shabby for $80 a pair IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Man people pay $80 a piece for Picassos and often much more. You got a heck of a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 My understanding is that abnormal white barring is Grade B, 2 white bars connecting is A and all 3 white bars connecting is Extreme. With that understanding, I would say you have 2 A grade Picassos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JoseZ Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I agree with Woods. 80 bucks for those beauties is sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankenBakon Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks so much Woods! that was the kind of info I was hoping to find.. I thought I had read or heard something similar in the past but was unable to locate quick info with a google search. Its always nice to hear others say you made a good choice and these weren't even wyswyg just a random addition to my reef cleanup order cuz I knew I wanted picassos and figured if i didn't like their markings id either trade or turn them into sump clowns lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
