    Default need clowns ID from the experts

    i still cant figure out what clowns i have so i want the experts to tell me. here is a picture, i have had these guys for a year and the previous owner had them for 2.5 years so they are roughly 3-4 years old so i am hoping for some little ones soon and i may start with the breeding program if they do so i just want to know if they are true percs or occys. thanks!

    occys are usually less vibrant and have 11 dorsal fin spines instead of 10, as the percs do. also, percs have bright orange irises, occys have more of a greyish iris. the black markings that outline their white bars will also help distinguish one from the other, the percs have thick black outlines whereas the occys will have thin outlines if any.

    Going by the eyes I would say A. ocellaris but it's hard to tell for sure in the pic.

    A. ocellaris. Don't see them mis-barred very often.
