I love the dark and light combo of an Onyx and a Picasso, so when I was given a new tank I decided to make it just for a new pair. I chose a male picasso and a female c-quest line onyx, both from Alpha corals via JCA.

I went with a Picasso with a cute helmet and a little less white. I personally like a little more orange in my clowns, I crossed my fingers he might get a nice black body eventually to match his onyx girlfriend.

One thing I did not realize was just how deep red JCA's onyx was. My previous c-quest line via rods onyx were not half as deep orange/red as this girl. Anyway ... here is my lovely pair about a month ago when I first got them. (sorry the pics are not better, it's a point and shoot. I'll one day figure out the boyfriends DSLR)

And about a month later (today) the male has gotten that muddy orange all over his front half that should turn black :bounce:
and the female has developed these cute spots on her back fins that I hope she keeps instead of going all black.

Nice pair, I love onyx n I too,have rods onyx n I also have a few onyx c-quest line n onyx w/Picasso markings , same parents as richie's (jca) n they are the way a real onyx should look ,I love onyx n these are the best I ever seen since c-quest close ,u have should I say (we) have some killer onyx
 
They look great!!!
 
Very nice!
 
Nice Temper!

I keep going back and forth on swapping out my male for one more orange/red but I honestly don't think I'd find one as dark as the female. His orange has gotten darker anyway, they don't look like such an odd pair.
 
very awesome. should be very nice in a few months with the black developing. 1smile1
 
Thanks guys :) I know they are not the 'highly sought after' ones but I love them. I should have waited another week to post pics. The black is filling in really fast on the picasso. I'm kinda amazed.

I think my Onyx is getting jealous, she's really chasing him a lot now.
