True Perc's Fry's - Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:05 PM

To those that are at least close to being experts on “True Perc’s” clownfish fry’s….. Need advise this will be my second batch to actually raise in a while they are about 25 dph several have their second strips some only still have their first strip which to me this is very slow development is this normal for True Percs?
Second question is there is only one that I can tell has absolutely no strips at all is this good or bad?
Do I need to cull that fry?
 
I have heard of naked clownfish just not sure if this would be considered as that…
 
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Regular A. percula take a long time to get all of their bars. Sometimes up to a year or more. Picasso percs are a different story as they get their patterns much quicker. You have nothing to worry about.

+1 and if I recall correctly from back when I had mine the bottom portion of the middle stripe was the last to come in. Sometimes I had given up and designated it a misbar only to be proven wrong later.

Cool thanks.  I wander about the babies I had last year I had a lot of them looking like misbars.
Really cool looking though.  I thought anyways.

Will just pile on to say what you're being told is right.  I've seen the fish take 1.5 years + to bar up.  This is wild lineage fish of course, not selective bred (or hybridized) forms from long standing captive lines.  True wild pure percs are misbarring nightmares.

So what do I need to do to prevent Misbars?  But since the census is that True Percs take longer to get their full strips in how do I know if they are truly misbars or just not matured enough yet?

You might just have to wait.
