Platinum clownfish, like them or hate them

[saltwatermaniac]

I like them

[Chaloupa]

I love them and can't wait til I can get a pair or so. Very very cool!

looks like a regular clown with a skin problem

[petlaur]

Really, really dislike their look.

I do not think we should screw with mother nature.

It is one thing to breed exotic variants of FW fish like guppies and angelfish which are dozens of generations separated from wild stock.

SW fish should not be monkeyed with.

Not such a fan of the Platinums but like the Snowcasos and really love the Grade A Picassos. I have been trying to get my hands on some, but many places are reluctant to bring them in due to the price.

I have been buying some misbars lately. There are certain shops that get neat misbars that they lump in with thier regular ORA clowns.

I dont like any of these white modified clowns. Clowns that are darker (like black occelaris, onyx, or dark percs) are ok... but white ones a are yuck. Some of the dark ones are more often naturally occuring anyways.

This variant is a result of selective breeding in captivity, these aren't wild fish. This is exactly the same process that you referred to with FW guppies and Angels. It takes thousands of offspring to come up with these oddities, even if you breed two of these, you probably won't get this color variation as a result. Catching fish with cyanide or dying Anemones is screwing with nature.
