Platinum pairs...

[MarvinsReef]

is anyone out there have a Platinum pair that's producing lotsa Platinum babies. I'm just wondering what percentage are the Platinums/Picasso's/Regular coming from a Platinum pair.

Close to 25 percent of my Picasso offspring come out as Platinum. It's pure marketing hype from ORA that they are more rare. Grade A Picassos with the connecting tail and body stripe are the real rare fish and the hardest to produce.

Jason any pics of a Grade A Picasso with the connecting tail and body stripe?

Yes that is exactly what he means

I thought a snowcasso was somewhere between a grade a and a platinum or almost a platinum as far as how much white they have.

 

[MarvinsReef]

Yes that is exactly what he means

so, you guys get more Plats than Snows? what's the approx percentage of Snows do you get Richard?

 

[mainereefer]

Snow flakes are occys and a snowcasso is a picasso with a lot of white.

I agree that platinums are easier to come by than the premium grade A picasso. I also hit in the 20-25% rate with platinums. Top shelf grade As are 5-10%. Legally, I can't call my real nice guys "snowcasso" because of the trademark placed on them. I just say premium grade A and hope people understand. Just check out Marvin's thread for some of the best premium picassos that I have produced .

I get more a's than plats, I probably get 4-6% platinium, 3 percent bad *** or premium Picasso, 30 %regular percs, the rest are b and regular a picassos

Great to hear from the breeders. Premium Grade A's are definitely awesome clownfishes.

Nothing like a killer clown
