These are awesome fish! Hopefully the strange patterns won't disappear as they grow, but being gold stripes maybe they will get bigger?

those do look awesome! I think I've seen a clown with those spots before, but I can't remember where. If I remember I'll send it to you.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

There's been lots of misbar and spotted white stripes with blue spots, but I've never seen any like this in gold stripes.

Parents are dead because of ick outbreak in my brookstock and they stopped laying eggs so i will never know if this is genetic or water quality that produced this batch.
Got disease out break in my growout 4months ago and only 7 made it. All nice ones RIP.
8months old pair.

 

 

 
 

Sorry to hear about your losses. Nice looking fish that made it though.
