    They are neither, they are 2nd generation photons. The first gen came from a true perc clown and an onyx clown. the onyx (father) died and was replaced by one of the photon offspring to keep the bloodline going. Interestingly tho, this batch had a mix of solid line, semipicasso, and no line. I got one that was slightly semipicasso in the tail and no line in the middle and one that has a break in the middle stripe. It will be very interesting when they turn black :)

    These are out of the first batch from the new male. The color will resemble the 1st generation photons very closely. Here are a few shots of some from this same batch that have colored up already:

    @monkey- they will keep the bright orange on the face and fins. then will fade into black towards the center of the body.
