Must admit we are quite lucky as our main lfs, though a good 80 mile round trip, was voted retailer of the year by pfk several years in a row and their staff are not only friendly and helpful but very knowledgeable in their selected fields.....
Jody ..you owe me another one,lol...

seen em up as picasso clowns at tmc, they had a reserved label on their holding tank with the price, thats how i knew because i hate having to ask for every bloomin price! Its worse having to ask what fish are lol, makes me look very stupid. I love TMC and spend hours there when i can, its so clean and tidy and the fish are always amazing, like being a kid in a sweetshop. However, common names will always vary, like their Flasher Wrasses are always Seafighter Wrasses or Fairy Wrasses which stumped me a bit!

I quite like the picasso clowns really. I had two. Pretty much a grade A (though sold as a B++ lol) and a low grade B. Lost my A, but still have my B. My B could also be considered a misbar b/c the white stopped spreading. I haven't really truly decided yet if I want to replace my female that died. Problem is my male w/turn female and he's not as picasso as I want the dominate fish to be (since the dominant is larger). I'll probably sell him and buy another pair if I do replace her down the road.

Now the TRUE picasso's sell for $400 a pair on the low end over here. (The private breeder I've emailed gets about 2-4 true picasso's per batch of eggs.) Grade A's I can get for $200, Grade B's about $100 a pair.

Here are some lovely images of Picasso's. My favorites are the first two pictures and the last one on the bottom right.
