B&w Clown

[ben1987]

my B&W clown has an orange nose. Does this mean he is young and he will lose it as he colours up or is he some kind of cross breed.
He is in with an O&W clown that he seems to be having a cheeky rub against now and again does anyone have a pic of a B&W clown crossed with a normal one? I would be interested in trying to reer a couple if they do spawn eventually.

I've read that wild caught Black and Whites are completely black an white with no orange, while tank raised ones have some orange on the nose. Maybe thats the reason. Dont know if it ever fades tho.

i was following a thread about a pair of B&W clowns spawing. Their young start out all orange and colour up as they get older. Eventually they went all black so i didnt know if they all did it.
