Hello everyone!

I got a <span style="font-size: 11px;">TINY</span>, prolly 1/2-3/4 inch ORA clown fish today to try and pair with my ORA misbar black clown that is about 2.5 inches.. and I picked the smallest one with the coolest stripe pattern and was wondering if anyone could answer a question.. he was labeled as a plain ORA ocellaris but he only has the front stripe with almost a half middle stripe but no tail stripe.. is this just an odd genetic thing or will the stripes grown in as he gets older? ( im hoping he stays half striped :-p) I will try and get a pic but the bigger clown is bothering him and he wont stay still at the moment

Thanks for any help!

It will probably not change a lot if it's an Ocellaris (false-percula). Looks like a normal misbar to me. True Perculas develop the stripes very slowly, but Ocs are quick
