Hello everyone, we go by "The Clown Factory" and we are breeding clowns of all types in Bakersfield, CA. and just joined this forum and figured we should share our journey with you all as well as other forums we maintain.......Lets start with some pics and a list of what we have so far......
9.5 pairs so far with more coming
Premium grade Picasso's

GSM's (two pairs)
Mocha O's
Domino paired with Brown Saddleback
Melanopus'
True and false Perc pair
False perc and Naked O
Single female B&W Darwin
Will be goin after some serious Hybrids VERY SOON, so stay tuned for those
Our setup as of now is.......
2-55g breeding tanks (one four section and one three section) both running off a 55g sump running a 7inch sock, skimmer and about 100 pounds of LR, will soon be adding three more 55g tanks for more pairs.

10g QT/Hospital tank

1-20L split in half w/20L sump for Single B&W Darwin & juvenile GSM pair

Also will be adding 8 maybe 10, 30g tanks all divided for grow out and grade seperation, they will be plumbed to a 55g sump just for those tanks.
We dont have a fancy camera yet so please excuse the pics for now, but here is what we got so far....

Love the picassos, very nice fish. Domino and saddleback? What made you pair them up and what do you expect from the pairing? Would be interested in your thinking behind this.

Glad you are here

Matt, yes we do. However the original people that did this cross is one whom I dispise do to the ridiculous inbreeding they do and I highly disregard them as a reputable establishment. If you would like the info, I have no issue sending you some info about it/them in a PM. I dont want to post it on a open thread beacuse I know its gonna cause a big issue and I have posted threads about them in other forums and the response has been......lets just say, less than friendly. People dont like the truth when it exposes who they thought was a "great company". We will try the cross of these two, our difference will be simple, we will not inbreed to get what we want. If the fry are not viable or the colors and variants are not something worth persuing, they will not be breed again and the fry will be given to local reefers who wont breed  them and just want a clown for a reef tank.

I'm happy to have such info in a PM if that's your preference, thanks.

Matt, sent you a PM

Thanks, you have a rather "long" response (Ha..yes, I'm not known for my brevity).

No worries Matt, I enjoy your "short yet to the point" writtings
I look forward to many more conversations with you
