    Hello all,
    I am wondering if someone can give me some help. I have over time got two picasso clown fish. both from different stores, now both stores told me they were true picassos. But from the pics you can see they are quite different.

    top two pics are of picasso a cost me 60 bucks
    last two pics are piccaso b which cost me 90 bucks

    Look likes Grade B Picasso. If they only have 1 line connecting it's B. Both sides A.

    Perhaps your photos got mixed, but pics 1 and 4 show a Percula Clown. The one in pics 2 and 3 is a Picasso.

    sorry they did get mixed photos 1 and 4 are of the same fish, 2 and 3 are the same fish. In photos 1 and 4 there is a percula and a"picasso" in the same photos sorry

    the picasso in pics 2 and 3. one half of his body there is a break in between the white lines and the other side it has connected the white goes all the way down the body, the clown in pics 2 and 3 is tiny, approx 1 inch long

    Okay, I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but I was like, that fish in the first photo is definitely not a picasso! LOL

    I would say fish 1 is a semi picasso, because I don't see any lines touching. And fish 2 is a grade B picasso. It would be grade A if the face stripe was connected to the other white area.
