HA! Thankfully when it comes to something like a Picasso Perc, well, candidly, any other Picasso or Onyx or whatever would do. Of course, since the Picasso is a wild type, there would be the opportunity to maintain good geographic genetics on it. How? Well, again, IF I recall correctly, I believe that the original ORA Picasso pair was comprised of a SI Picasso male and a SI Female. Secondary breedings may not have kept that Solomon Island heritage intact, but if you can get ones from the original pairing, you could outcross to other Solomon Island Percs. Why does this matter? Well, any NORMALLY barred percs that might arise from the pair are still legitimately Solomon Island Percs...they just lack the Picasso genetic twist.

I will have a word with Arie and see if he can get SI Perc's. I'm sure he can, just a question of time....

As far as I'm aware I think there is probably less than 10 over here that actually raise and sell fish. I know alot of them look at this site but don't very often actively participate if at all. Maybe we can change that!

Here's a pic of the offspring of these guys. I think they are Oc's. I've seen another pair of Oc's today and the female was about 4 inches. She looke exactly like a Perc with markings except the eyes and dorsal. I think were so used to seeing small Oc's we forget what large female Oc's look like. Anyways here's a pic of the 4 week old fry.

Ok the pair I referred to in post #27 I decided to buy. I am now even more convinced that most people are so used to seeing juvenile Oc's that forget what an aged adult female looks like. Both the female in the first post and this female are very similar and indeed if anything this one has even more extended dark colouration. She is around 4" in length and you can clearly count 11 spines. Here's a pic; Think it's time I filled out my report for Oc's!
