haha, it does look cooler than the other 2 though. I would like to see a regular clown with pure black stripes or a reverse of white body and orange stripes

Seriously???

The domino and midnight clownfish from ORA are some of this season’s hottest designer marine aquarium reef fish.

Is Paris Hilton going to put a nano in her bag when she makes her next sex tape? Animals aren't designer accessories. This actually makes me seriously upset with ORA.

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this is getting out of hand.

They are playing god, and it's disturbing.

I have always been against inbreeding fish to get these looks. Snowflakes and whites are mutated overpriced fish. These will be right up there in price. But hey everyone is honest in this hobby right? No one is out to rip anyone off? Just another way to rip people off and keep bringing this hobby down. There is soon gonna be lower class and high class reefers.

I think it is terrible, especially how they refer the them as "designer clownfish." They are not pieces of name brand furniture, clothing, accessories, etc... Who is the designer, ORA? I understand selective breeding however; they are beginning to take selective breeding a bit too far. They could do such great things with selective breeding such as breeding those mandarins that will eat in captivity and reduce the strain on wild mandarins. They should focus on other ideas and turn those into reality to help the reefing community and environment rather than selectivly breed fish purely for aesthetics. They make is sound as if the clownfish is an accessory to your tank. It is a living animal. I will step down for now because this could lead to a very philosophical debate. lol.

It's no different than the selective breeding of dogs. All of the "breeds" were originally created by selective inbreeding.

This is why so many purebreds have health issues.
