male tending eggs

Where did you get that lightning if you don't mind me asking? It has an interesting pattern.  

Sea and Reef, Soren and Brandon have hand picked several great looking clowns for me!! Everyone that sees it says it has a "Skull" on its sides. The other side is almost the same.

MWhite Stripe Maroon @ 60 DPS

Just curious, what is the ratio of lightnings vs normal bars? It looks like several of your fish have very defined bars but much wider than a normal bar. I would guess those will brake up into a lightning pattern at some point. 

I was told that I would get around 25% Lightnings. It is closer to 50%-60% lightnings. I'm not sure if the "very defined bars but much wider than a normal bar" will break up, that is a question for Mat (or me in a few months). My question is what % are the Lightning X Lightning producing?

My pair is one lightning and one normal white stripe, both from the same batch from Matt's pair. They produce about 50/50. I was wondering if a non related mate would still produce the 50/50 or if it would be less. Sounds like your having some good luck! Are you getting any that have connected patters, like middle and head or middle and tail bars connected?

I'm getting no connecting bars, but there are a couple of cool looking misbars.
