I have no clue. I rescued them so to speak when I bought the tank. The dude quit caring for it and they were practically skin and bones. Those are old photos of them. I was just assuming Wyoming white. The guy had the tank running for 8 years and said those were his first two fish so they have to be pretty old as well I'd say.

I’m pretty sure the orange one is a snowflake. And please correct me if I’m wrong, as I’m no expert, but it seems like the wyoming white is actually a platinum clown
You’re right

She looks just like the lack ice photo live aquaria has up with out a doubt. The black ice photo I saw was white with all black fins, Wyoming white had orange fins.Didnt look like the Wyoming whites. Definitely think the orange is a snow flake.

This chart might help. One with more orange I would say is a snowflake clown. The other is harder to tell. My first guess was a platinum. However, after consulting this chart, it could be either white or platinum. Since clowns are easily bred, the combinations sometimes never match up with picture associated with vendor name.

And the chart is from sustainable aquatics.

Still white one looks like a variant of frostbite from flurry to chilled. Cant find the orange one. Closest thing would be picasso.

And like I said, with clowns being bread easily and in abundance, many traits are exhibited in appearance. Sometimes appearance can be misleading when trying to determine the type. I just used the SA chart as reference since I know theirs is pretty straight forward.
