    The only reason people will buy those is so they can say they have a platinum clown fish.

    "Ugly" or "Hideous" would be an improvement in the looks of those fish. Anybody read the comments about inbreeding to get them that color?

    Their very similar to the snowflake clownfish. Even if they mate their is no guarantee of producing any like that

    Hey amcarrig, isn't that what all the clowns look like covered in tartar sauce when Roger makes his famous "clown fish sandwiches"? ;)

    I actually think they look kinda funky cool. But about worth 10 bucks maybe

    ok....missed this post until now! Now a conversation I had earlier tonight makes sense ::)

    But I think they ARE VERY COOL! ;D You all have bad taste ;D
    As stated by someone on this thread.....you know who you are........beauty is in the eye of the beholder! :crazy::laughy:

    I like the looks of them. It is actually the fish I had been looking for. A while back I saw an ad for something that had a white clownfish....I liked it then and still do. But that is why I also have 2 picasso clowns!
    HOWEVER I would not spend that much money on one fish.

    id buy, its different but my tank would have to be maxed out on every possible coral, gadget and fish. Would be something just to spend on if i had the extra cash and a shortage of clowns. :)

    :lol: There ain't enough meat on a clownfish for him to bother going through all that trouble.
