I'm thinking of getting some picassos, but do not know much about them. How much do they cost? What is a good host anemone for them? Are they as hardy as the false percs?
Anyone with info on this please post.
Thanks!

I have a pair- they cost @ $90 each 2 years ago. They were Grade A Picassos. Since then, Grade B Picassos have been more readily available - their markings may be more irregular (but still a beautiful fish). Be sure to know what you are getting if you are paying full price. My pair host readily in a bubble tip anemone.

both b&b and aquarium designs are ora dealers and can get them
i think the novelty has worn off a bit and they are cheaper than they were at the height of their popularity but i saw them go for over $300 pair for grade A
i think a grade A is going for around 125$ these days....

Picassos are very similar to false percs (A. ocellaris) they are just morphs of true percs.
Is Reef Madness Catchy???
Thanks everyone.
